Learn to Swim
Red Cross Learn-to-Swim courses offered through the NDSU Swim Academy are designed to provide children and young teens with a positive, developmentally appropriate aquatic learning experience. For every level of learn to swim, instructors follow a plan to introduce new swimming and water safety skills as well as build on previously learned skills. Each class is filled with fun, engaging, and challenging activities that motivate participants to want to perform and learn how to swim.
Fall and Spring session classes are held on Saturdays for eight weeks. Summer classes are held Monday - Thursday for two weeks. All instructors are WSI certified and each class runs 30 minutes. Parent/Baby, Parent/Child, and levels 4-6 have a student/teacher ratio of 6:1, and Preschool levels 1-2 and levels 1-3 have a student/teacher ratio of 4:1.
*This program is open to the community.
