All swim classes include discussion of important water safety topics. During the first two lessons, each child will complete a brief skill assessment to ensure they are placed in the correct level. Families will receive a progress report halfway through the session and again at the end. It is common and completely normal for children to repeat a level as they build confidence and master all required skills.
