Swim Lessons

Swim Lesson Level Descriptions

The Trophy Club Community Pool aims to provide a comprehensive swim lesson program designed for swimmers ages 3 years and up. The program will consist of six progressive levels, each with entry and exit requirements. Level eligibility is determined by both age and skill of the swimmer. There will be a strong focus on water safety and water competency rather than technical skills. With few exceptions, there is minimal parent interaction during the classes.
