Youth Workout
Is your swimmer gearing up for a season of competitive swimming this summer? This weekly class is designed to support a summers-only competitive swimmer (estimated ages 8 -17) by maintaining competitive mechanics (like turns, starts and strokes).
Led by American Red Cross WSI-certified instructors who are experienced with competitive swimming, this class will help your swimmer maintain competitive swimming skills and endurance during the off-season. Participants will be assigned a swim workout by the instructor(s) for each class and offered limited instruction during the classes.
This class is NOT a Learn-To-Swim class. Group Swim Lessons are typically offered on Saturday mornings.

New to water? Start Here!
Parent and Me (estimated 6-24 mo old)
This class is a parent-in-water class for children and infants. Here we help new swimmers get comfortable in the water, build the basics of safety and body positioning, as well as give take-home drills to do on your own.
Parent and Pup (estimated 24 mo - 4 years old)
This parent/toddler class is designed to build the swimming foundations needed to learn more advanced safety concepts and skills. Participants will begin floating, changing body position, entering and exiting, and submerging.
Paddle Puppies (estimated 3-5 years old)
This is your swimmer’s first splash by themselves. Here we begin (or continue) to develop foundational skills needed to become a self-sufficient swimmer. Students will focus on pool safety, underwater exploration, breath control, flutter kick, and body positioning.
Dawg Paddlers:
This Advanced program is for participants ready to take the next step as a swimmer. Swimmers must be comfortable submerging fully and able to support themselves comfortably in the water.

Here we continue to reinforce foundational skills and safety while introducing the first concepts of front crawl, backstroke, and breaststroke.
Level 2 ( estimated 5-7 years old)
Swimmers learn advanced safety skills and concepts while introducing dives, treading water, refining front crawl and backstroke, and developing breaststroke and butterfly.
Level 3 (estimated 6-10 years old)
Swimmers learn swim etiquette for recreational swimming, advanced drills and techniques for front crawl and backstroke, and developmental skills for breaststroke and butterfly.
