Our American Red Cross based swim program creates an ideal environment to learn the fundamentals of water safety as well as stroke development and refinement. Participants will be given a report card to track their progress and indicate if they are ready to pass on to the next level. Proper swim attire is required, no additional clothing (rash-guards are okay) as this inhibits proper movement when learning to swim. Make-up classes will not be offered unless GCRC has to cancel a class day. No refunds will be given after the first class. If GCRC cancels a class, we will make every effort to make up the class on one of the regular scheduled lesson days; however there is a possibility that classes would have to make up on a weekend.
