    During the first few sessions we will be determining which level is most appropriate for your swimmer. This helps us put kiddos in groups that focus in on the skills others are leaning at the same level. I am including the information below about each level. I LOVE the levels AND I realize it can be tricky if a swimmer can do some things in more than one level and it makes it tricky to know where to place them. Our goal is to make sure your swimmer gets the instruction they need no matter what level they are to meet their goals and grow as a swimmer. Swimmers may start the season at one level and progress to another in a few weeks- we try to stay on top of checking in on where everyone is at and we welcome parent communication and feedback along the way! We know kiddos may be showing new skills even just when hanging at the pool on weekends so we love to stay in touch. Never hesitate to reach out to me with questions and/or updates!
