Safety topics include basic water safety, healthy swimming, safe water entry, helping yourself and others in an emergency, use of lifejackets, safe weather conditions for swimming, and waterpark safety.

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. Unsure which level to register for?
