Swim Level Placement Guide: Proper placement is very important. Your child should be challenged, but not overwhelmed. The list below indicates the minimum requirements your child should possess for each level on the first day of class. If they are unable to complete the skills, they will be moved to the lower level, if space allows. If there is no opening, a credit will be issued for a future registration, but classes will not be overloaded, and for the safety of the entire class, they will not be allowed to stay in the upper level.
Infant Toddler: Children should be 6 months to 3 years old, with little or no water experience. Parent or guardian is in the water with the child, taking direction from an instructor. It is recommended that you discuss taking lessons with your childs pediatrician before starting a swimming class under age 1.
Preschool: Children are 3 to 5 years old, with little or no water experience. They must be able to separate from their parent to participate in the water alone.
Beginner: Children must have passed Preschool or turned 5 years of age.
If your child is not yet 5, they must be able to swim 15 feet, unassisted,
without flotation, and willingly put their face in the water to blow bubbles.
They must also be able to enter and exit the pool unassisted. If your
child is 5, and taking lessons for the first time, they may want to take
a session of Preschool to get familiar with the facility, the classes
and the structure before enrolling in Beginner. Any 5 year with a fear
of the water or separation issues should remain in Preschool until that
is overcome.

Aquatic Exercise
Aquatic exercise is a very healthy alternative to traditional aerobic and
strength training classes. The water provides support and minimizes
joint irritation while offering a beneficial resistance to your movements. We
offer 3 different class formats to find the aquatic exercise class
best suited to your needs.
Hydro-aerobics - is an intense, non-impact workout that will increase your muscle strength, endurance, flexibility and increase your cardiac conditioning. Some swimming ability is recommended for this deep water class.
Aquasize - is a shallow water workout perfect for building your strength,
endurance and flexibility without the impact of land aerobics. A
cardio set is included in each workout.
