When choosing a class for your child it is important to look at both the age and skill level. Improper placement can lead to frustration for the parent, instructor and child. Because this is a motor skill activity, every child will progress at their own pace. In swimming lessons, the child must master basic skills for each stroke prior to moving to the next level. In many cases, children will repeat a level in order to perfect these skills. If you have questions regarding placement, please do not hesitate to ask the staff for assistance.
