All lessons are at the Vestal High School Indoor Pool on Woodlawn Dr.  All levels will be taught using the Red Cross swim lessons curriculum. Classes are conducted Monday - Friday in two-week sessions. Classes canceled due to special events or pool maintenance issues are NOT made up and there is no refund. The pool closes for lightning. Safety topics and deck instruction will be taught at that time.

When registering your child for swim lessons, choose the level that best corresponds with their age and/or swimming ability. Consider your child’s maturity, water comfort and prior swimming experience. When unsure of the correct level, choose the lower level. The child’s confidence will flourish if he/she is at the top of the class rather than at the bottom. A child may repeat any swim level several times before passing.

Red Cross Swimming Levels      
Please use age group as a guideline only. Students may be placed in the level that best corresponds with their swimming ability. 

6 Months to 3 Years — Parent/Child Parent must get into the water.
Promotes water enrichment for young children with the comfort of a parent present in the water. Parents and kids will experience water readiness together through activities and songs.

3 Years to 5 Years — Preschool Levels 1 - 3
Geared for the kids who are able to get into the water without a parent present. Kids will learn to become comfortable in the water by themselves and will learn basic swimming skills through fun activities.

6 Years and older — Learn to Swim Levels 1 - 3 (Beginner)
Kids will be assessed on their abilities and placed accordingly in a class on the first day. Level 1 is recommended for kids who are comfortable in water but cannot keep themselves afloat without assistance. Level 3 is recommended for kids who can swim short distances without floatation or are ready to try.

8 Years and older — Learn to Swim Level 4 (Intermediate)
Kids at this level should have a basic knowledge of all strokes and be comfortable swimming laps the width of the deep end. Kids will refine their strokes and build endurance in the water.

9 Years and Older — Learn to Swim Levels 5 - 6 (Advanced)
Kids at this level should be accustomed to swimming longer distances in the deep end and be able to perform all strokes. Kids will continue to refine and perfect strokes, build endurance, swim with power and efficiency, and prepare for competition.
