CRC’s Swim Lesson Program is American Red Cross instruction designed to help swimmers of all ages begin, develop and refine their swimming skills. Red Cross Water Safety Instructors and Water Safety Aides teach a variety of swim strokes, personal safety skills and diving techniques. At more advanced levels, students refine skills and discover how to incorporate swimming into a lifetime fitness regimen.
Learn To Swim is the most comprehensive and effective program of its kind available anywhere! CRC’s Red Cross Learn To Swim Program is progressive; you must satisfactorily demonstrate the skills of the previous level on the first day of class to gain admittance into the next level.
On day one swimmers will be placed into levels based upon skill testing. Private Lessons: 1/2 hour = $15.00 / 4-lesson package = $50.00
