Millard North Swim Lesson Guide
Which Level is right for my child?
Preschool is designed to get 2 and 3-year-olds comfortable in the water with an instructor and be introduced to basic skills. Participants need to be potty trained or wear a swim diaper. There are no skills required to participate in this level or to exit this level.
Level 1 starts at 4 years old and then subsequent levels are skill-based, not age-based. Sign your child up for the level above the level that they can successfully complete the exit skills assessment.
Example: A 5-year-old that can complete Level 75% of the listed skills for level 2 and can complete the exit skills should sign up for level 3.
Once an individual has completed Level 6 the recommendation is to continue with a local competitive swim team. Participation in competitive swimming can start upon completing Level 4. Please talk to Coach Cunningham for more information.
