Group Swim Lessons

Donner Aquatic Center Group Swim Lessons

Summer registration begins – April 3
Registration ends – 5:00 p.m. the Friday before the class begins

This skill rubric is intended to be used to help parents / guardians sign swimmers up for the correct level at registration. A swimmer should be able to perform the majority of skills in a given level, in order to advance to the next. All students will be evaluated the first day of class. If a student is placed in an incorrect level, they may be moved (either up or back). Reassignment to another level is up to the discretion of the instructor and is done for the safety of the swimmers, instructors and others in the class.
