The Town of Rhinebeck Swim Lessons Program is taught by American Red Cross certified Lifeguards.  The Swim Lessons Program is a tiered program designed to provide students with a positive learning experience and teach children to swim and be safe in and around the water.  Swim levels follow the guidelines of standard American Red Cross Learn-toSwim Lessons.  Students will be evaluated on their first lesson to make certain they are in the appropriate level.  Once all skills within a level are accomplished, children will be advanced. Maximum of 8 students per class.

There is no minimum age requirement. However, your child must be comfortable working with coaches. Parents are not in the pool with the children at any level.

Levels Descriptions
  • Level 1: Introduction to Water Skills. This helps students feel comfortable in the water.
  • Level 2: Fundamental Aquatic Skills. This gives students success with fundamental skills.
  • Level 3: Stroke Development. This builds on skills from Level 2 by providing guided practice.
  • Level 4: Stroke Improvement. This develops confidence in the strokes learned and improves other aquatic skills.

  • Please note: Levels 3-5 are typically offered in the deep end of the pool. Please consider this when signing your child up for lessons
