Texas Tech University Recreation is proud to offer the American Red Cross Learn-To-Swim program as part of our Aquatic Programming. The Learn-To-Swim Program begins with the basics of swimming and water acclimation (i.e. blowing bubbles, movement, etc.) and progresses through stroke introduction, development, and refinement, in addition to diving and other deep-water skills (i.e. treading, survival swimming).

University Recreation Aquatics is affiliated with the American Red Cross to offer lifeguard classes and certification upon successful completion of the course. This course prepares candidates to recognize and respond quickly and effectively to aquatic emergencies and prevent drowning and other incidents.
