Preschool (Ages 3 - 5)
The Lifesaving Society Preschool program gives children a head start on learning to swim. Preschool programs develop an appreciation and healthy respect for the water before these kids get in too deep. In our five basic aquatic progressions we work to ensure 3 to 5-year-olds become comfortable in the water and have fun developing a foundation of water skills. Targeted Water Smart® drowning prevention messages are an integral part of the Swim for Life® program. These messages are delivered in all Preschool levels.
Preschool 1
Class Length: 30 min
Ages 3-5
These preschoolers will have fun learning to get in and out of the water. We'll help them jump into chest deep water. They'll float and glide on their front and back and learn to get their faces wet and blow bubbles underwater.
Preschool 2
Class Length: 30 min
Ages 3-5, successful completion of Preschool 1
These advanced beginners will jump into deeper water, and learn to be comfortable falling sideways into the water wearing a life jacket.

Ages 3-5, successful completion of Preschool 3
Advanced preschoolers will learn to do solo jumps into deeper water and get out by themselves. They'll do sideways entries and open their eyes underwater. They'll master a short swim on their front wearing a life jacket and gliding and kicking on their side.
Preschool 5
Class Length: 30 min
Ages 3-5, successful completion of Preschool 4
These youngsters get more adventuresome with a forward roll entry wearing a life jacket and treading water for 10 sec. They'll work on front and back crawl swims for 5 m, interval training and get a giggle out of whip kick.
Swimmer (Ages 5 - 12)
The Lifesaving Society Swimmer program makes sure children learn how to swim before they get in too deep. Progressions accommodate 5 to 12-year-olds including beginners and swimmers who want to build on the basics. Lots of in-water practice develops solid swimming strokes and skills. Targeted Water Smart® drowning prevention messages are an integral part of the Swim for Life® program. These messages are delivered in all Swimmer levels.
