Red Cross Swim Kids is a 10-level stand-alone program for five to twelve-year-old children. Children learn to swim, be fit, and stay safe in a fun environment that promotes achieving a personal best and celebrates personal success.
The program teaches swimming and survival strokes, as well as increasing the distance and speed that each swimmer can achieve, while focusing on making safe decisions in, on and around the water.
The 10 levels of the program allow for solid progression of skills and knowledge.
The program is based on a foundation of continuous evaluation, which means that the Instructor constantly monitors the progress of each child and records an item as complete when the child meets the minimum standards for that item. This allows the focus to remain on the individual child at all times instead of applying a standard test for all swimmers at the end of each level. Red Cross Swim Kids has options for swimmers with disabilities. Please check with your facility. Information for Parents
