Preschool Aquatics

Preschool Aquatics is designed for children approximately 4 and 5 years of age. The purpose of the course is to facilitate developmentally appropriate learning of fundamental water safety and aquatic skills.

Preschool Aquatics (PSA) consists of three level. No skill prerequisites are required for PSA Level 1. For PSA Levels 2 and 3, children must be able to demonstrate the exit skills assessment of the previous level. All children should be evaluated during the first session, regardless of level, to determine the appropriate starting point for each child.

On completion of Preschool Aquatics (PSA), children may enroll in American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim (LTS). A child who completes PSA levels 1 or 2 and is 6 years old may enroll in the next level of PSA or move onto LTS Level 2. A child who completes PSA Level 3 may enroll in LTS Level 2.

Learn-to-Swim

Learn-to-Swim courses are to teach children and young teens to be safe in, on, and around the water and to swim well. Aquatic and personal water safety skills are taught in a logical progression through six level.

Participants in Level 1 are oriented to the aquatic environment and gain some basic skills in each category. As they progress through the levels, participants build on their basic skills to learn and refine various propulsive movements on the front, back, and side. On successful completion of Level 3, participants have achieved basic water competency in a pool environment. By the end of Level 6, participants have the prerequisite skills and have developed the necessary skill and fitness levels for entrance into advanced courses, or other aquatic activities such as competitive swimming.

The recommended minimum age for entry into American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim is approximately 6 years old. There is no maximum age for any level; however, it is typical that participants in the Learn-to-Swim (LTS) levels are elementary to middle school-age children. There are no skill prerequisites for LTS Level 1. For LTS levels 2 through 6, participants must be able to demonstrate the exit skills assessment of the previous
