The following is a guide to help you decide which class level to sign up for. If you sign up for private lessons, this information will be good to give to your instructor to help them teach your child at the appropriate level. 

We are always in need of instructors to meet the high demand for lessons. If you are interested in working with us, please contact the Darn Ryken, Aquatic Supervisor!
