Swimmer Levels

The Hocken Family Swim Academy divides young swimmers into five primary levels plus an infant level.  For swimmers whom have advanced beyond level five we offer a course where your goals will be personalized to your needs. Finally, we offer three levels for adults looking to learn how to swim or improve their technique. 
Each swim level is detailed below including class size, length and finally guidelines for graduation.
