How do I know what level of Sears Olympic Way to register my child in?
To begin in the green level of Sears Olympic Way, children should be comfortable in deep water, be able to retrieve an object from 1.5 metre depth from three metres distance, flutter kick on their back, and swim underwater for 3 metres. If your child has been involved in Red Cross lessons, the chart to the right should help you determine which level to register them in. Life jackets are not worn in Sears Olympic Way.
**Once classes begin our Sears Olympic Way coordinator will ensure that each child is in the appropriate level. If you would like more information about which level to register your child in, please contact us for a free 5 minute assessment.
