Parent and Child Swim Lessons

This program helps familiarize children between the ages of 6 months and approximately 3 years with the water and teaches swimming readiness skills. Infants should be able to sit up independently before taking this class.

Overview

This class is not designed to teach children to become swimmers or to survive in the water on their own. Instead, it gives parents information and techniques to help orient their children to the water and to supervise water activities in a safe manner. This class requires the participation of the parent or adult guardian in the water with the child during all class sessions.

Price: Rec Member $50 | Non-Member $70

What to Bring: Things you will want to bring to your child's swimming lesson; swimsuit, extra swim diapers, 2 towels, swim shirt, comfort toy, and snack for after swimming.

Time: See below for specific dates and times, class duration is 30 minutes

Location: Leisure Pool – On the first day of class, everyone (parents and swimmers) will meet in the leisure pool at the assigned meeting area.
