Learn to Swim

The American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim courses offered at HealthPlus Fitness Center are designed to give your child a positive learning experience and to teach lifelong swimming skills. Each course includes water safety skills, swimming skill practice and play. Every child has a place in our program. Find the level that is right for your child and we’ll see you in the pool!

 

Classes

• Water Babies
  Baby’s first swim lesson. American Red Cross Parent and Child Aquatics builds swimming readiness by emphasizing fun in the water. Parents and children participate in eight 30-minute guided practice sessions that help children learn elementary skills, including water entry, bubble blowing, front kicking, back floating, underwater exploration, and more. This is not a Learn-to-Swim class. For children 6 months – 5 years.

• Angelfish (Level 1)
  This class helps students feel comfortable and safe in the water by introducing basic water skills such as floating, bubble blowing, entering and exiting the water, submerging, and arm and leg action with support. Students participate in eight 40-minute lessons. Students must be 3 years old to participate. There are no prerequisites for this class. Class size is limited to four.

• Dolphins (Level 2)
  This class gives students success with fundamental aquatic skills. Students learn to swim on front, back, and side using combined arm and leg action. Students participate in eight 40-minute lessons. The prerequisite for Dolphins is the successful demonstration of Angelfish skills and comfort in the water. Class size is limited to four.

• Snappers (Level 3)
  This class builds on the skills and further develops the strokes learned in Dolphins. Students continue work on front and back crawl and are introduced to treading water and butterfly. Students participate in eight 40-minute lessons. The prerequisite for Snappers is the successful demonstration of Dolphins skills. Class size is limited to four.

* Classes may be repeated if needed until the objective of the course is met.

Our four-week fall sessions meet Mondays & Wednesdays or Tuesdays & Thursdays. Children must be at least 3 years old to participate. The session fee for HealthPlus Members is $55 and for Non-members is $75.

Lessons are held in our heated-indoor pool. The pool is four-foot deep. Students must wear a swimsuit and, if needed, a swim diaper. We ask that parents stay in the facility during each swim lesson; however, parents will not be allowed to remain on the pool deck.
