Graduate Levels 11-13: For SwimAmerica level 10 graduates we offer our “medal series” of lessons. To qualify for this level, a child must have completed our SwimAmerica level 10. The “medal series” of levels 11 through 13 offer challenges in three additional levels that are more pre-competitive in nature with an emphasis on conditioning. Our reward system for new level attainment is a bronze medal for level 11, silver for level 12 and gold for level 13. Each participant in our graduate level class will receive a participation medal. Graduates may test/advance only one level per session.

We also offer evening private lessons for swimmers age 4 years old and over. Please reference the "Private Lessons" menu tab for details.
