Parent/Child Lessons
This program is for children ages 6 months to 4 years old. Parent or guardian is in the water with the child. Each half hour session is supervised by a specially trained instructor who will lead you through a series of exercises and activities that will be fun and instructive for your child. Children learn to be comfortable in the water and develop swim readiness skills through fun and confidence-building experiences, while parents learn about water safety, drowning prevention, and the importance of supervision. All while you get to spend quality time with your child!
🚨 Children are required to wear a swim diaper if they aren’t fully potty trained.
