Each level of swimming lessons includes training in basic water safety in a fun and engaging atmosphere to reducing the stress of the water, in addition to skills outlined here: Level 1 (ages 5 & up): Introduction to Water Skills This class is designed to help first-time swimmers become comfortable in the water.
