Preschool Aquatic Program - Level Descriptions

  • ​Preschool Aquatics Level 1:  Introduces basic aquatic skill, which children continue to build on as they progress through Levels 2 and 3 of Preschool Aquatics and then Learn to Swim.  Children start developing positive attitudes and safe practices around the water.  Many skills are performed with assistance from the instructor.  
  • Preschool Aquatics Level 2: Further development of basic aquatic skills continues. Children begin to perform skills at a slightly more advanced level by practicing skills for a longer period of time or longer distances. This also marks the beginning of independent skills.  
  • Preschool Aquatics Level 3:  Additional guided practices help increase child's proficiency in performing previously learned skills by increasing repetitions, distances, times or levels of refinement. ​Skills are performed independently.
