CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
All lessons are under American Red Cross instruction. Certificates are issued to swimmers, upon completion of the class requirements, on the last day of class. All swimmers must pass each level before progressing. Please bring Red Cross card/certificate when registering at the recreation center or to the first class. Some children, because of not being able to practice, forget skills learned heading into another swim lesson season. So, PLEASE NOTE: The SwimSafe, Inc. staff, after evaluating each class during the first day of a session, will have the right to place a child into another skill level class, if the child does not display the skills needed to participate in that particular level. Conversely, if a child’s skills are too advanced for a particular level, the child may be
moved to another skill level.
