Description
The Swim Patrol levels provide enriched training for those who are ready to go beyond learning to swim. Swim Patrol's three levels - Rookie, Ranger, and Star - continue to develop participants' swim strokes and provide the skill foundation that prepares them for success in the Lifesaving Society's Bronze medal awards. Swim Patrol Levels are a terrific introduction for those interested in becoming Lifeguards!
