By giving them the opportunity to master one element before moving on to the next, our kids’ swim classes make it easy to build confidence in the water.During their swim lessons, children will spend time on the following six levels:
Parent/Child (Ages 6mos – 3 yrs)
Teach safe behaviors around the water and develop swimming readiness by leading parents and their children in water exploration activities with the objective of having fun and becoming comfortable in, on and around water. A parent must accompany each child in the water. Children not toilet trained must wear swim diapers
