Blended training means the class you're taking is a hybrid. An online self-paced portion of the training will be conducted through the American Red Cross Learning Center ( a link will be provided after scheduling a training date.) This portion has to be completed before scheduled in-person training. After completion of online self-paced training, you will receive a proof of completion to proceed. Not completing the online training will result in the refusal of the scheduled in-person training. You will have to complete it to reschedule and pay for the training again.

It expires 2 years from the issue date.

There are no supplies required by participants.

We cannot guarantee a timeframe for our student’s swim process. Every child can learn but they all learn differently and at their own pace. Swimming is a process and not an event, however, we recommend three times weekly lessons for optimum improvement.

Each lesson runs thirty minutes long.

We require a parent or guardian to stay on-site during the lesson. Your young swimmer wants to know you’re there for them and you will have a chance to observe what they are working on in class.

If your child needs goggles we recommend purchasing a pair that fits their face shape and having them adjusted to the correct tightness. Also bring a towel, extra clothes, and appropriate swim attire.
