Swim Classes
The Red Cross has established swim lessons for kids and adults that allow everyone the opportunity to learn in a safe environment, at their own pace. The Learn-to-Swim Program focuses on building skills one step at a time. By giving participants the opportunity to master one element before advancing on to the next, our swim classes make it easy to build confidence in the water. There are five levels in this program that offer a wide variety of activities. Skills taught include: personal safety, rescue skills, diving skills, and stroke skills. Each level is designed to stimulate interest and motivate students to advance to the next section.
Classes are held year-round at our indoor pools at Central Queens, Bayside High School, Jamaica Hills (centrally located and accessible by highway and public transportation), and now at Queensborough Community College and in the Bronx! We are also offering summer classes at the Tanenbaum Family Pool!

Aquatics Program Descriptions
Learn-to-Swim
Our traditional swim lesson program where swimmers progress one level at a time. Each level builds on the previous one, focusing on water safety, stroke development, and confidence in the water while allowing swimmers to advance at their own pace.
Fast Trac
A school-year accelerated Learn-to-Swim program that provides a continuous curriculum from beginner to advanced swimmer. With multiple classes each week, swimmers develop skills faster, build stronger technique, and complete an entire learn-to-swim pathway in one school year.
Pre-Swim Team
A transitional program for swimmers who have completed Learn-to-Swim or Fast Trac and are not yet ready for full team training. Focus is on refining all four strokes, building endurance, learning interval training, and introducing swim team structure and expectations. This is the final step before Aquaflames Swim Team.
Aquaflames Swim Team
A USA Swimming competitive swim team training athletes to compete at the highest levels of the sport. Swimmers focus on advanced technique, endurance, racing skills, and compete in local, regional, state, and national meets.
Water Polo Beginners
Entry-level water polo program where swimmers learn ball handling, passing, shooting, treading water, and game rules. All athletes must complete Beginners before advancing to the Water Polo Team.
Water Polo Team
Competitive water polo program for athletes who have completed Beginners. Focus is on advanced skills, teamwork, strategy, conditioning, and competition.
Swim Week
A fun, intensive week-long program offered during school breaks that combines swim instruction, stroke development, water safety, games, and aquatic activities. Swim Week helps participants make rapid progress, build confidence, and stay active in the water while having fun.
Private & Semi-Private Swim Lessons
One-on-one and small group instruction tailored to individual needs. Private lessons offer individualized coaching, while semi-private lessons allow 2 swimmers of similar ability to train together.
Adaptive Swim Lessons
Specialized instruction for participants with physical, developmental, or cognitive disabilities. Focuses on water safety, confidence, and individualized skill development.
