Red Cross vs. Swim America Swim Lessons

Red Cross Swim Lessons are public lessons provided at local pools across the country. They have swim lessons and water safety lessons that are taught by trained professionals. They  offer lessons to a range of people from infant to adult. Their lessons are systematic, starting with teaching beginners to be comfortable with water, by training safety and basic stroke work. Then continuing on to stroke development and refinement. Finally, assisting in developing ease and efficiency in the water. The lessons are based on the swimmer’s pace of learning, and they will move on based off of 6 different levels. Parents of children under the age of 5 are required to actively participate in the lessons.
