Find the right level

Parent and Child · ages 6 months to 3 years
No swim experience needed. A parent or other adult (18 or older) is in the water with the child the whole time.
Preschool · ages 3 to 5
Start here with no experience. A “tot dock” makes the pool shallower for shorter swimmers while they learn to blow bubbles, float and glide.
Learn-to-Swim Level 1 · ages 6 to 13
Start here with no experience. Swimmers get comfortable in the water and learn to enter and exit safely, bob, float and glide.
Learn-to-Swim Levels 2 and 3 · ages 6 to 13
For swimmers who have finished Level 1. Builds basic swimming skills: floating and treading water, then swimming on the front and back.
Adult · ages 13 and up
Begin at any level and work toward your own goals.

Not sure which level fits? Call (502) 624-6217 and the aquatics staff will help you choose. Levels offered change from session to session.

Before you register
