AMERICAN RED CROSS Swim Assessment Programs

Swim assessments are required for all swimmers who are new to the Plano Parks & Recreation system or those who have had more than one year between previous classes with the City of Plano. At no additional charge, participants may book a time online for a swim level assessment using the American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim program criteria. Participants must be at least six-years-old. Participants will be in the water independently for approximately 5-10 minutes and will be tested on their current knowledge of and ability to perform in-water skills such as front crawl, back crawl, elementary backstroke, side stroke, breaststroke, and butterfly. This assessment does not guarantee registration spots for participants.

For children, the instructional sequence is: Beginner or Pee Wee I (depending on age), Advanced Beginner or Pee Wee II, followed by Future Stars or Pre Junior Development (Play and Instructional Programs), then Competitive and High Performance.

For teens, the progression is: Beginner, Advanced Beginner I, Advanced Beginner II, Learn N Play, Future Stars, Competitive, and High Performance.

For adults, the sequence is: Beginner, Advanced Beginner, Learn and Play, followed by High Point intra-facility leagues, Tennis Competitor of Dallas Leagues, USTA Adult Leagues and Metro Leagues.
