Swim Kids Programs
For the summer of 2008, the OTLBC will be teaching Red Cross Swim programming. The Red Cross has changed its programming from the old Aquaquest system to better meet customer needs and focus on its three goals of water safety, aquatic empowerment, and fitness promotion.
Red Cross Swim Kids
Red Cross Swim Kids is designed for children aged 6 years and up. It has ten levels (in contrast to the twelve levels of the old AquaQuest program). The OTLBC will be offering these swim levels in two week sessions that run Monday to Friday. The length of lessons depends on the Swim Kids level.

Private Swim Lessons
In addition to regularly scheduled Swim Kids programming, the OTLBC also offers private swimming lessons. Private lessons allow participants flexibility in scheduling and make available Red Cross Swim levels not otherwise offered by the club.

Red Cross Swim Preschool
Swim Preschool is designed for children aged four to six months up to five years. The program consists of seven levels, each represented by an animal mascot: Starfish, Duck, Sea Turtle, Salamander, Sunfish, Crocodile, and Whale.
The first two levels focus on water orientation and safety for parents and their children. Levels 3-7 build swimming skills and age-specific Water Safety. Parents are encouraged to participate with their children for levels 1 - 3. However, the levels can be taught unparented in a private lesson setting.
AquaAdults
AquaAdults is targeted at adults and adolescents interested in learning to swim or improving swimming skills. The program is divided in to three stages based on swimming ability: basic swimming skills, swimming strokes, and lifetimes swimming fitness.
Progress in AquaAdults is evaluated based on goals
set by each swimmer. Participants can also choose to
work towards Red Cross Swim Kids Levels.
