Learn to Swim
• Level 1
In our program a young non-swimmer will learn basic arm and leg movements, experience entry into the water, and understand the importance of returning to the wall. As a child progresses, the focus is on gaining confidence to do short swims to the wall, first with assistance and then alone.
