Swim Levels
Stewie The Duck Swim School lessons are based on the American Red Cross learn to swim program, and are designed with SAFETY as our #1 priority! Our mission is to help children become safer, in and around the water, and to teach them to be confident and comfortable swimmers. Our lesson curriculum is designed to enable children, six months and up, to progress from water acclimation to pre-swim team levels. EVERY child will get plenty of individual attention, care and instruction in a SAFE fun filled environment. WOW!!
