What Argo Swim Lesson is Right for You or Your Child?

6 months to 3 years

Register for Parent-Child Class. Parents get in the water with their child for a gentle, enjoyable water orientation. Safety cues, appropriate holds and fun activities build parent-child trust.

Parent-Child is designed for those families getting their feet wet for the 1st time as well as repeat participants!

Children ages 3 to 5 years

Register for Young Beginner Class. Our focus is unsupported floating & locomotion plus basic safety principles.

Young Beginner is designed for those 3-5 year olds who don't like to put their face in the water or get their head wet, have never experienced a formal swim lesson before or tend to be more cautious about trying new things. A wide range of skills are introduced and experienced with support.

Advanced Young Beginner is designed for those 3-5 year olds who can or are ready to put their face in the water and are confident in and around the water environment. Skill performance independently of the instructor is the goal.

Children 6 years & older should be placed in one of the following Argo levels:

Argonaut Zethes or Beginner (formerly Level 2) starts building a solid foundation for independent swimming.
Argonaut Hylas or Advanced Beginner (formerly Level 3) helps coordinate rotary breathing with front crawl, better coordination of back crawl & elementary backstroke plus the fundamentals of treading water & beginning diving.
Argonaut Pollux or Intermediate (formerly level 4) increases endurance and technique refinement of front & back crawl and introduces breaststroke & elements of sidestroke.
Argonaut Hercules or Swimmer (formerly Level 5) concentrates on increased coordination and refinement of 6 key strokes; butterfly & flip turns are introduced.
Argonaut Jason or Clinic (formerly Level 6) polishes strokes by improving efficiency, power, and smoothness over greater distances preparing students to participate in more advanced courses such as Lifeguard Training or competitive swimming.
