Swimming Lessons

Students are recommended to proceed level by level to pick up the skills most efficiently. Students progress differently. Expect your child to progress through one level of lessons per year of age.

Classes meet Monday-Thursday for two weeks at the Mandan Aquatic Center. All classes are 35 minutes in length.

Individuals must have passed the previous level in order to move to the next level. Individuals in Level 1 Prep must be at minimum 3 feet and 4 inches tall.

If you are unsure what level your child belongs in, please contact the aquatics supervisor at 751-6161.
