Family Swim Lessons (an adult w/ one child) Register View Cart

aquatics tot with mom
These classes are for parents/care givers and their 9mo-3yo children** (by the start of the program).  In this playful networking class, parents and children learn together to increase the child's comfort in the water and build a foundation of basic skills.  Skills will include arm and leg movements and breath control.  This level is fun-filled and helps introduce water safety concepts and encourages a healthy recreational habit that the entire family can enjoy.

The BABIES class will focus on water introduction with songs, and skills based activities focused on acclimating younger children to swim lessons, being safe in the water and enjoying it!  This class is geared towards younger babies ages 9mo-18mo/2yrs.  Babies must be able to sit up on their own and hold their heads up easily to gain the most benefit from this class!
The TODDLERS class will focus on swim skills, safety components in and around the water, as well as providing fun activities/songs/games that can be translated to practicing at home, in pools or in open water.  This class is geared towards older babies/toddlers ages 18mo-3yrs.

Please plan to have just one adult in the water with each child.  This will help us give one another as much space as possible in the pool. 

** PLEASE NOTE...If you child is older than 3 years, but has never had formal swim lessons, please talk to the pool staff about which class is best for their first time in swim lessons.  We have made accommodations for children up to 5yo in this class under certain circumstances.
