Swimming Lessons-Level 1
Level 1 Swimming: Introduction to Water Skills
Following American Red Cross guidelines, this introductory course focuses on helping participants feel comfortable in the water and enjoy the pool safely. Students will learn elementary aquatic skills, including submerging their mouth, nose, and eyes, as well as practicing front and back glides with support.
