American Red Cross: Learn To Swim  Program
The Buffalo Grove Park District follows the American Red Cross Learn To Swim Program.  Each swim time will be broken into different levels.  It is not necessary for you to know your child's swim level.  All children will be tested on the first day of class and will be placed in the appropriate level.  All levels will be taught in each time frame.  The first day of class will include testing for all participants and actual class time may vary from student to student.  If you have any questions or concerns about our pool or our programs please ask the manager/coordinator on duty for clarification.
