Baby & Me Program
The American Red Cross Parent/Child Aquatics Program is geared at water exploration and is designed to provide a safe and fun learning environment through games, songs, and interactive play. This class is 30 minutes long and is specific to the individual progression of each little swimmer. Don your swimsuit and join us for a great bonding experience with your child. For children aged 6 months to 4 years.
*Both parents are welcome to participate in this unique bonding opportunity.
The American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim Program is designed to meet the age and skill level of your child (aged 4 - 17 years). This program is divided into Levels 1 through 6; your child will be tested and placed in the level that is most appropriate level for his/her ability. Each class is 30 minutes long and participants may choose from the weekday program or the Sunday swim program.
*Please Note: Level 5 classes are taught during evening session times only.
It is never too late to learn to swim!! Our patient instructors will be more than happy to assist you in meeting your individual swimming needs. Whether your goal is to become comfortable in and around the water or to become a fluid swimmer, we are here to make this an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Each class is 45 minutes long and is part of our weekday swim program. Choose the class days and times that best meet your schedule.
The goal of this program is to provide a transition between the Learn-to-Swim program and the Lifeguard Training program. Participants with a strong swimming background who are not old enough to participate in a lifeguard training class can get a jump-start and learn the skills necessary to assist someone in an emergency while gaining valuable leadership and communication skills. Participants will have the opportunity to gain community service hours by volunteering at the pool in our lesson program and as deck observers shadowing a certified lifeguard.
This program has been divided into age-appropriate activities based on learning objectives and lifeguard readiness skills for each group. Upon successful completion of this program, participants will gain knowledge in First Aid/CPR, Water Safety Instructor Aide, basic water rescue, and develop the skills necessary to assist someone in an emergency.
Program fee includes class materials, swimming passes for each participant, and a program t-shirt. For youth aged 10 - 14 years.
Don't miss out on the opportunity to prepare yourself for a great summer job! This class is designed for individuals 15 years and older who are interested in becoming a certified American Red Cross Lifeguard. Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be certified in Lifeguard Training, First Aid, AED, and CPR for the Professional Rescuer.
Program fee includes swim pass and instructional materials. Ages 15 and up.
*Space is limited to 15 participants per session.
Come join us at the pool for your cardiovascular workout! The pool is 80 degrees and open year-round for lap swimming.
