Our Parent & Tot swimming lessons begin at 8 months and continue until children turn 3. Within this period, parents are present in the water, guiding children into the aquatic world. Teaching basic water comfort and instinctual safety forms the core of these early lessons. Our Parent & Tot classes are also musically-themed, as we introduce the rhythm and timing of basic movements in the water.

 

Parent & Tot classes are divided into two groups, as follows:

• Beginner Babies
  • (8 – 12 months)
  • Make rhythmic movements to music
  • Can play peek-a-boo
  • Babble and coo to caregiver’s voice or music
  • Recognize caretaker’s voice at a distance

• Advanced Babies
  • (12 – 36 months)
  • Need time to explore and play with things
  • Play alone and try to perform skills independently
  • Obey simple commands
  • Enjoy rhymes
  • Are ready to become part of a group
  • Want to make choices
  • Show interest in imagery and games
  • Can be independent of caregiver
