What to Expect
Red Cross swimming classes for kids are tailored to the needs of each child, so that he or she can progress at a comfortable pace. Some children may advance more quickly or slowly; however, our instructors ensure that everyone receives the instruction they need.
In the Learn-to-Swim program, parents or guardians are welcome and encouraged to stay and watch their kids' swim lessons. This not only helps increase the child's comfort level in the water, but can help parents understand the process and practice skills with their children.
During swim lessons, children will spend time on the following six levels:
- Level 1- Introduction to Water Skills: Students will learn how to feel comfortable in the water and safely enjoy it.
- Level 2- Fundamentals of Aquatic Skills: Children will learn basic swimming skills.
- Level 3- Stroke Development: Additional guided practice will help students improve their skills.
- Level 4- Stroke Improvement: Kids will gain confidence improve their strokes and gain additional aquatic skills.
- Level 5- Stroke Refinement: Guidance allows kids to refine their strokes and become more efficient swimmers.
- Level 6- Swimming and Skill Proficiency: Students will learn to swim with ease and efficiency, and gain the ability to swim smoothly over greater distances.

New Up and Coming Camps for Summer 2025
In 2025, we are excited to introduce two new swimming camps designed to cater to diverse needs and interests. The first is a Bible Study Camp, which will combine swimming lessons with engaging faith-based activities, creating a nurturing environment for spiritual growth and physical wellness. This camp aims to provide a supportive space where participants can deepen their faith while improving their swimming skills.
The second new camp is dedicated to underprivileged youth, offering free swimming lessons and recreational activities to children from underserved communities. This initiative strives to provide equal opportunities, enhance water safety skills, and promote healthy lifestyles among youth who might otherwise lack access to such programs. Both camps reflect our commitment to fostering growth, inclusivity, and community support through the sport of swimming.
