AQUATIC Swim Lessons On the first day of group lessons, students will receive a short evaluation to ensure proper class placement, based on skill level, not age. Classes are designed based on the guidelines of the American Red Cross so that students are learning with others of the same ability. There may be students older/younger than your child enrolled. It is common for a child to repeat a class more than once. Students will receive progress reports at the end of each session, please feel free to discuss your child’s progress with your instructor.
