Class Descriptions

Baby & Me classes are designed to provide a positive and comfortable water experience for babies. This class will help your child gain the basic skills needed to participate in the more independent learning environment of our preschool swim program. Babies are gently introduced to floating skills, breath control, submersion, and whole body movement through the water. Parents will learn the proper techniques for working with their baby in the water, lending to baby’s comfort and progress.

Waterbugs are introduced to age appropriate skills that will progressively prepare them to learn to swim. Swimming lessons are a new experience for most Waterbugs!

In this class, they gain independence in the water and progress to swimming across our pool with roll over breathing.

Sharkies continue to build upon the foundation of basic swimming skills, adding age appropriate skills in flexible progressions.
