The Parent and Child Aquatics course helps young children between the ages of 6 months and approximately 3 years become comfortable in and around the water so that when the time comes, they are ready to learn how to swim. In addition, parents learn about water safety and how to safely handle their child in and around the water.

The Parent and Child Aquatics Program provides the foundation for future aquatic skills. They are not designed to teach children to become good swimmers or even to survive in the water on their own.

The Preschool Aquatics course is designed for children between 3 and 5 years old. The Preschool Aquatics course consists of fundamental water safety and aquatic skills. Mastering the skills taught in Preschool Aquatics allows participants to move seamlessly into Learn-to-Swim courses. Participants transitioning from Preschool Aquatics into Learn-to-Swim may enter Learn-to-Swim Level 2 or Level 3, depending on their skill level at the time.

The Learn-to-Swim program is structured in a logical progression for aquatic skill development. As participants progress through the levels in the program, they build on existing skills and develop new ones, becoming safer and better swimmers. At Learn-to-Swim level 3 participants possess the minimal skills needed for water competency in a pool environment. Continuing through the full Learn-to-Swim program helps participants become better, stronger and more competent swimmers in different aquatic environments and under different environmental conditions.
