Welcome to Red Cross Swim!

Proudly Introducing Our New Swimming and Water Safety Training Programs

The new programs are the successful result of a tremendous amount of teamwork involving technical and marketing experts, supported by valuable feedback from pool decision-makers, Instructors, Instructor Trainers, and end-users.

Red Cross Swim

Red Cross Swim Preschool

7-level program for children from 4 months to 5 years of age

This seven-level program allows children to enter levels based on their age and abilities, with their parent or caregiver (Levels 1 and 2) to the learning from the Instructor in small groups (Levels 3 to 7). As an option, all levels can be parented. Each level is built around an aquatic animal theme and has its own mascot, which will make learning engaging and fun for young children.

Red Cross Swim Kids

10-level program for ages 6 and up

This program for school aged children will help swimmers develop all six swimming strokes (front and back crawl, elementary back stroke, breast stroke, butterfly, sidestroke), actively learn how to be safe around the water, and increase their fitness and endurance through fun activities. Children will be challenged to achieve personal bests in distance and time, which will be a strong motivator through all 10 levels.
