♦ i ► it ' The American Red Cross Swimming and Water Safety program teaches people how to be safe in, on or around water and teaches individuals of different ages and abilities how to swim. In a logical progression, the program covers the knowledge and skills needed for aquatic skill development. As participants develop these skills, they will become safer and better swimmers. Signing up for a level above or below ability will only cause frustration for the student and class. Students who are in the incorrect level will not be allowed to participate unless space is available in an appropriate class.
