SWIM LESSONS Our department follows most of the Red Cross Learn-to-Swim program. We try to offer classes that best meet the needs of the community. In some
cases, we have gone beyond Red Cross guidelines to further enhance your child’s learning experience. Those modifications include:
1. Maximum size of most classes is 8 students.
2. Lesson times for classes are 40 minutes.
3. Level IV is divided into A & B classes because of the quantity and complexity of the skills that must be learned.
