Preschool Swim Lessons

For swimmers 1 year to 5 years old. Swimmers under 3 years of age require a parent/caregiver in the water during class.

Preschool aquatics teach basic aquatics skills, which children continue to build upon into the school-age swim levels. We are pleased that you have chosen RVAC for swim lessons and we hope you and your children enjoy your time with us.

Swimming is a lifelong activity, and RVAC strives to teach children to be safe and have fun in and around the water.
