General Registration (Non-Truro Residents): June 3, 2026

Preschool
Ages 3–5 years | 10 lessons | 30 minutes per lesson | $110.00 per session
*Note: if your child has not yet finished their preschool levels but has turned five, please contact us for the correct Swimmer level to enroll them in.

• Preschool 1 - Preschoolers in this level will learn how to get in and out of shallow water safely. They’ll also learn how to move safely in shallow water while using a lifejacket (as needed) to become comfortable with their floats and glides.
• Preschool 2 - Preschoolers in this level explore submerging and exhaling underwater and jumping into chest deep water. Children also discover how to roll from their front to their back using an aid.
• Preschool 3 - These preschoolers will master their floats, glides, and short swims (2-3m) on their front and back. They’ll be able to pick up objects from waist deep water and use their lifejackets to jump and roll into the deep end.
• Preschool 4 - These capable preschoolers will strengthen their flutter kicks and try swimming front crawl. They’ll start to learn how to support themselves in deep water and by the end perform jumps and side rolls on their own. Their lifejacket will support them while they learn to tread water and swim to safety (5-10m) in the deep end.
• Preschool 5 - These skilled and independent preschoolers will master short swims doing front crawl (5-10m) and back crawl (3-5m). They are ready to take on a forward roll into deep water with their lifejacket on and to tread water without the extra support. Here they will get their first chance to try whip kick and fitness training.
