Parent/Child classes are 30 minutes in length.

With each level, swimmers will learn a different skill set. At the end of each session, swimmers will be graded on their aquatic ability. Instructors will decide if a swimmer needs more review in their current lessons or can graduate to the next level. Parents will be given a progress report of their swimmers abilities at the end of each session.
