Toddler 1: Parent and child class
(6 months – 30 months)

This class is a fabulous way to have fun and bond with your child as you explore the water together. You will be taught how to safely and enjoyably introduce your child to the aquatic environment. The primary goal of our Toddler 1 Class is to get your child comfortable in an aquatic environment and provide the foundation for water safety and independent swimming. Through songs, structured activities, and games, your instructor will teach you how to work with and support your child in preparation for an independent class when he/she is older. No previous water experience is necessary.

Toddler 2 & Toddler 3: Parent and child class (6 months – 30 months)

This class builds on our Toddler 1 class and continues to foster confidence and competence in the water. Through songs, structured activities, and games, children in the Toddler 2 class enjoy a more active pace of exploring, learning, and interacting with others. Building block skills for independent swimming are developed. Prerequisite: Mastery of Toddler 1 skills.
Register for Toddler 2 & 3

Transitional Tot: Parent and child class
(24 months – 30 months)

This class is designed specifically for our more advanced little swimmers who have graduated from our Toddler 2 class but are not quite ready to leave their parent. These young students may still need a little more attention and/or supervision than they would receive in a small group lesson. Through the use of familiar equipment, songs, and games and with friendly faces we will transition your advanced toddler swimmer through the important change of instruction with a parent to an independent class. Prerequisite: Mastery of Toddler 2 skills.
