Conversion Chart for Red Cross, City of Toronto & YMCA Swim Lessons

University of Toronto Junior Blues Swimming uses Red Cross

This chart provides approximate equivalencies. If a child has completed a level, they should progress to the next level in the appropriate column. If a child has not completed the level, they should be registered in the equivalent level in the same row.

Example 1: A child who has completed Ultra Swim 3 should be placed in Swim Kids 4.

Example 2: A child who has not completed Preschool Swim 3 should be registered in Sunfish (5yrs or younger) OR Swim Kids 2 (5 yrs or older).

IMPORTANT: The 50 m pool does not have a shallow end. The 25 yard pool has a 1.2 m (~4ft) shallow end. The teach pool is a small & shallow pool but its use is limited to the lower levels our swim programs. Tot docks (tables placed in water) are used for the introductory levels in the 25 yd pool. Please note that children who are unfamiliar with a deep pool may experience some anxiety in our swimming environment. While the instructors endeavor to ensure that all children are comfortable, it is important to consider your child’s swimming ability and comfort in deep water.
