 RED CROSS SWIM PRESCHOOL This seven level program allows your children to enter levels based on
their age and abilities. Each level is built around an aquatic animal
theme and has its own mascot, which makes learning fun and engaging
for young swimmers!
Starfish, Duck and Sea Turtle allow the parent or caregiver to
participate in the classes together with their child. The unparented
version of Sea Turtle is perfect for children between the ages of
3 to 5 who have not previously taken swimming lessons. Salamander,
Sunfish, Crocodile and Whale are designed to allow your child to be
with their instructor at all times. This ten level program for children ages 6 and up will help swimmers
develop all six swimming strokes – front and back crawl, elementary
back stroke, breast stroke, butterfly, and sidestroke. Swimmers
actively learn how to be safe around the water and increase their
fitness and endurance through fun activities. Children will be
challenged to achieve personal bests in distance and time, which is a
strong motivator through all ten levels. Private classes (maximum one per class) and semi-private classes
(maximum three per class) are designed for swimmers who need
more individualized teaching, or who are having difficulty with
certain strokes or skills. The instructor will focus on those items which
are weak, but must still cover all topics. You can request private/semi-private classes at registration. Not offered for Red Cross Swim Preschool
(Starfish to Whale) or Red Cross Swim Kids 1 and 2. For children who have special needs requiring individualized
instruction or physical support, private classes with
experienced instructors are available.
Contact the Aquatic Supervisor (748-1432) for information
prior to registration. These Trent levels are designed specifically for those students who
have had difficulty learning their strokes or who are experiencing
co-ordination and endurance weakness in their strokes. These levels
will help to develop strength and endurance.
