For children aged 2 to 16 years old. Non-swimmers learn to swim using a swimming aid, which allows them to spend more time swimming. As they progress through the eight swimming levels, they become proficient at the four competitive swim strokes.

Children under 12 years old must be accompanied at all times. They cannot be left unsupervised if a parent is participating in a class with another child.

It is very important that children be registered in the correct level of our Olympic Way swimming lessons program, so please choose the level carefully when registering. You can determine which is the appropriate level by referring to the skills and endurance required to pass each level (White to Gold). Children who register in the wrong level will be removed from the class in order to preserve the integrity of our program. We cannot guarantee that another spot will be offered instead, in which case a refund or account credit will be issued.
