Young Boy Learning To Swim With A Body Board
All levels will be taught using the Red Cross swim lessons curriculum. Classes are held at the Sullivan Park at Thorne Street Pool. Classes cancelled due to special events, weather, or pool maintenance problems may not be made up and there is no refund. 

When registering your child, choose the level that best corresponds with your child’s age and/or swimming ability. See the Red Cross swimming level chart for further reference.  When selecting a class, please consider your child’s maturity, water comfort and prior swimming experience. If you are unsure of the placement for your child, we recommend the lower level. The child’s confidence will flourish if he/she is in the top portion of the class rather than the bottom. A child may repeat any swim level several times before passing. 

Water shoes are recommended but not required.
