The American Red Cross program is a comprehensive and developmentally appropriate swim program that teaches children how to swim skillfully and safely. The prerequisite for each level is the successful demonstration of skills from the preceding level. Each level also includes lessons in water safety. Each class will begin with a brief skills assessment to ensure that your child is enrolled in the appropriate level. All students must be able to perform the exit skills prior to moving to the next level. All of our instructors are certified through the American Red Cross. All classes are held at the Mound Westonka High School Pool (enter through the north doors).Level 1: Introduction to Water Skills  $65Learn to Swim (LTS) levels are for students ages 5 and up (40 minutes classes)Prerequisite: successful completion of Preschool Level 3.
