Toddler Time in the Pool
It is never too early to introduce your child to the water! Our parent-child lessons are a great way for parents (or guardians, or grandparents...any special adult) to bond with their children while teaching them all about water safety. No prior swim experience is required. 1 adult is required to be in the water with each child. This adult is responsible for participation in the class - the teacher will be providing instruction to all participants, not one-on-one with a child. If your child is not potty-trained, a SWIM diaper is required. If you come unprepared, a swim diaper will be provided for purchase, or participation will not be allowed. -
