NEW COURSE

This is intended to be a bridging course between Level-2 and (now) Level-3.1. Level-3.1 is simply the previously named (American Red Cross) Level-3 course. Because we have created a sort of "Pre Level-3" course that we are naming Level-3.0 Please call the pool office if you have any questions regarding these two course. This Level-3.0 is for those that "passed" Level-2 but need to build up some strength and endurance to be better able to participate in Level-3.1
