Parent/Child swim lessons are for children aged 6-36 months. Parent or caregiver will be in the water with the child, learning how to be the child’s first teacher. This class teaches water introduction through positive parent and child interaction. The goal of this class is to help your child learn to be comfortable in the water and develop swim readiness skills through fun and confidence building experiences, while adults learn about water safety, drowning prevention, and the importance of supervision. Each lesson is 30 mins. long.

Ratio: 1:1 (one parent or caregiver per child)

Swim Basics:

Class length is 40 minutes. Classes of 2 or less may be combined while still teaching appropriate skills.

Beginner: In this beginning class, children develop comfort with being underwater and learn how to safely exit in the event of falling into a body of water. If your child will go underwater voluntarily they may be ready for Stage 2. Children are taught skills that focus on buoyancy and movement in the water and learn how to safely exit in the event of falling in a body of water. If your child can do a front and back float on his or her own they are ready for Stage 3.

Intermediate: In this class, children focus on swimming longer distances. In the event of falling into a body of water the children learn to swim to safety.

What happens if it rains during swimming lessons?
We will do our best to make up that day during the two-week timeframe of the lessons. Make-up days will be on Friday of that week.
