Description of Swim Lesson Levels

 Level 2—Purple Turtle

Students must be comfortable in the water and with instructors. In this class, students will learn to swim more independently and become fully comfortable with dunking their head under water using nose bubbles. Typically ages 5-9. It is recommended that students bring goggles

 Level 3—Pink Salmon

Students should have some experience with assisted kicking with a board/floaty. Students are now learning to swim independently with and without a board. Students are mostly working on further strengthening their motor skills. Typically ages 6-11. Students need goggles.

 Level 4—Blue Dolphin

Students learn how to be strong swimming independently. Students learn to become water safe. Students entering this course absolutely need to be     comfortable with putting their head underwater and have some ability to swim independently. Typically ages 8-14. Students need goggles.

Swim instructors will move children to the class that best suits their ability if needed.  

Per Carlton Community Pool rules, a child aged 8 and under must be accompanied by an adult in the water.  This rule keeps our smallest members of our community safe while having fun swimming.  We appreciate your cooperation.
