How to pick the right class:

1. Look at classes in your child's age group
2. Use your best judgment to determine the skill level within that age group
3. Look at the swim schedule page to see what time(s) the class is offered.  

Once your child has mastered the skills at one level, the instructor will let you know your swimmer has "graduated" to the next level.
