Civic Center Swimming Lessons

Civic Center instructors follow guidelines established by the American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim program.  We offer lessons year round with convenient after school times.  Parent & Child lessons begin with infants as young as 6 months, Preschool is for ages 3 - 5.  Upper levels are based on ability; children as young as 4 can be in Level 1, provided they pass Preschool lessons and the instructor feels they are physically ready.
     Lessons require a current membership to participate.

Level Descriptions (from the American Red Cross site)

The Learn-to-Swim program focuses on building skills one step at a time. By giving them the opportunity to master one element before moving on to the next, our kids' swim classes make it easy to build confidence in the water.

During their swim lessons, children will spend time on the following six levels:

  • Level 1: Introduction to Water Skills: Students will learn how to feel comfortable in the water and safely enjoy it.
  • Level 2: Fundamentals of Aquatic Skills: Children will learn basic swimming skills.
  • Level 3: Stroke Development: Additional guided practice will help students improve their skills.
  • Level 4: Stroke Improvement: Kids will gain confidence during swim lessons, improve their stroke and gain additional aquatic skills.
  • Level 5: Stroke Refinement: Guidance allows kids to refine their strokes and become more efficient swimmers.
  • Level 6: Swimming and Skill Proficiency: Students will learn to swim with ease and efficiency, and gain the ability to swim smoothly over greater distances. Swimmers will also have the option to participate in more advanced courses.

Each level must be completed before moving on to the next.  Swim ability tests can be requested to assess your child's level before registering for lessons.
