Swim Levels

We offer various swim levels designed to guide your child's progression, understanding that not every child fits perfectly into one level. At Wildlife, we tailor our approach to meet your child's needs, assessing them individually throughout lessons. The levels are just a quick way of estimating what we may work on. Your child doesn't need to master all the skills from the previous level to progress, they should be able to do one of the options listed under "enroll your child in this level if..."

Parents and/or support persons are welcome to get in the water at any age and level. In the Parent/Me class, one support person is required. If a parent plans to participate in the water for any class other than the Parent/Me class, we recommend joining a sibling double, sibling group, or arranging a private lesson. For requests and special arrangements, please email us at wildlifewaterschool@gmail.com, and we'll do our best to accommodate your needs.

If any of the options below apply to your child, please enroll in the parent/me class:

  • Under 15 Months
