Parent/Child Swim Lessons

The Parent/Child Swim course introduces infants and toddlers (ages 6 months-3 years) to the water in a fun and loving environment. Parents or caregivers are taught effective techniques to teach their infants and toddlers how to float, submerge, move in the water and roll over to breathe. Classes incorporate songs, activities and water safety education. Parent or adult (18 and older) is required to be in the water at all times with each child.

Children will develop a foundation of swimming and safety skills with a focus on self-rescue:

• Trust and submersion

• Body positions and air recovery (includes rollover to back for air recovery)

• Forward movement and direction change

• Rotary movement (transitions from rollover to side position for air recovery)

• Integrated movement

• Age-appropriate safety skills such as asking permission, wearing a lifejacket, using flotation to make an assist, treading water and survival float.
