Our Parent/Child classes are for water acclimation of swimmers from 6 months to 3 years of age. We have 8-10 parent child pairs per class and do a mix of songs, activities, and instruction to gain comfort and swimming readiness. Parents accompany children in Parent/Child A, which introduces infants and toddlers to the aquatic environment through exploration. The course encourages children to enjoy themselves while learning about the water.
