• Parent & Tot:  For ages 6 - 36 months. This program is a water adaptation class.  It is not a “drown proofing” class.  It is a wonderful class for helping to make your child comfortable in the water.  It helps prepare children for the next step—swimming without Mom or Dad.  It is not our intention to teach these children to swim.  We use a gentle, loving approach to introduce swimming skills to our youngest students.  We work with the parent to introduce basic swimming skills such as breath control, submersion, kicking, reaching, back float, and safety.  Gentle submersions are introduced when the child is relaxed and ready.  We use a structured program of songs, games, and fun activities to teach you and your child. A parent must be in the water with the child.  This class will be offered one day a week or on a series of Saturday mornings. A session will consist of 4 classes for 45 minutes each.
