The Newington Parks and Recreation Department is proud to be an authorized provider of the American Red Cross Learn-To-Swim Program for Levels 1-6. Proper swim lesson level placement is critical for your child’s success in swim lessons, as well as ensuring that the experience is enjoyable and safe. If your child has taken swim lessons with us before, please register them for the level recommended by their instructor. Please note that children must be at least 6 years of age to register for Levels 1 and up. Please review the swim lesson level descriptions prior to registering your child. *Note: These skills are the requirements to pass the level listed. If your child can complete the skills listed, please register him/her for the next level.
