LEVELS
View the different levels below by age.
How to choose the right level for your child?
Choose the level proceeding the one your child can confidently do every skill. For example, if your 7 year old child can do everything in level 3 really well, but not everything in level 4; sign him/her up for level 4. If you are unsure if they are confident with every skill, sign your child up for the lower level. Swimming skills are layer-able. If a child can confidently execute skills, it will be easier for them to learn new ones.
