Aquatics (Preschool)

FAMILY TIME

STARTS HERE.

PARENT/CHILD SWIM LESSONS (ages 6-36 months): The primary objective of these levels is to get both the parent and the child comfortable in the water. The child will explore a new environment while the parent will learn how to teach their child to be safe in and around the water. The child will be exposed to games that use basic movements in the water such as kicking, arm strokes and breath control. Children should be registered by age. A parent or adult 16 years or older must be in the water with the child for these classes.

PRESCHOOL SWIM LESSONS (ages 2-5): Classes at these levels are a continuation of the parent/child swim lessons or the perfect way for toddlers to begin to learn how to swim.
