Regal Swim has six levels based on the American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim program. Each instructor has a slightly different take, and we are able to somewhat customize lessons to what you would like to learn. However, after over a decade of teaching swim lessons, I’ve found that going through this progression is how students learn best.
We go over a variety of swim techniques in each level because some students prefer one over the other. For example, some students prefer to swim on their backs, while other students prefer to swim on their stomachs. Also, covering a variety of techniques keeps students from feeling stuck and frustrated when one is difficult for them. Here is an outline of what each level includes as well as some videos to help you practice between lessons.
For students that have completed Level 6, we offer a backyard junior lifeguard program. We have also compiled a list of more advanced programs (e.g. swim teams) you can enroll your child in, so they can get experience swimming longer distances. Many of those larger pool programs have try-outs that we can prepare your child for. Generally children are good enough swimmers to join swim teams about halfway though Level 4.
