Description The Swim School program develops a foundation of swimming
and safety skills with a focus on self-rescue. Students aged 3 to 12
years' work toward development of five core swimming competencies or
stages. Children progress through the stages at individual rates.
Learning is self-paced but challenging. This level does not emphasize
swim technique and stroke development. (1:5) Level of Instruction:
