The American Red Cross Parent and Child Aquatics help young children (6 months through 3 years) become comfortable
in and around the water so they are ready to learn to swim. It is not designed to teach children to become good swimmers
or even to survive in the water on their own. Parent and Child Aquatics gives parents information and techniques to help
orient their children to the water and to supervise water activities in a safe manner. 1. Level 1 is for children who are 6
months to 3 years old and have either no water experience or one previous session of water adjustment lessons. 2. Level
2 is for children who: Are 6 months to 3 years old and have passed Parent and Child Aquatics Level 1. Parents must
accompany their child in the water for Level 1 & 2 Aquatics. The American Red Cross Preschool Aquatics consists of
three levels, this program helps children ages 4 and 5 years old. The primary objective of Preschool Aquatics is to
promote the developmentally appropriate learning of fundamental water safety and aquatic skills. Learn-to-Swim (LTS)
