Confidence with Learn-to-Swim
Red Cross Learn-to-Swim courses offer
something for everyone. Through a progressive, six-level
instructional approach, participants learn a variety of strokes,
including the front crawl, back crawl, elementary backstroke,
breaststroke, sidestroke and butterfly. They are also introduced to
a wide range of personal safety skills and diving techniques.
Courses are fun and interactive with hands-on training. More
advanced-level students refine their skills, learn the basics of
springboard diving and discover how to incorporate swimming into a
life fitness plan.
Parent and Child Aquatics
Designed for children 6 months to 5 years of
age, the program builds swimming readiness by emphasizing fun in the
water. Parents and children participate in several guided practice
sessions that help children learn elementary skills, including water
entry, bubble blowing, front kicking, back floating, underwater
exploration and more. Once children can perform basic skills
without parental assistance, they may begin Learn-to-Swim.
