Bring your preschooler twice a week for three weeks to preschool swim lessons. Each lesson is 35 minutes long. This program is a 4 level program with each level building on the proceeding one. Since moving through the 4 levels is based on your child's endurance, coordination, fear of water and strength, children may stay in 1 level for more than one swim lesson session.

The swimming skills of ages 5 – 6 should be evaluated by the swim coach.
