At a placement visit: a short time in the water with an instructor, who suggests a level and a cap color. Then you pick a class from the schedule.

A level is a group of skills, from blowing bubbles to linking strokes, with a cap color so everyone at the pool can see where a class is. Ages are a guide, and the instructor decides when a swimmer moves up.
