Programs

UNDER 3

Swimboree (3 to 36 months with parent – Group) Focusing on water survival and independence in the water, babies are taught through a structured program of songs, games and fun. The class introduces the baby to the water and teaches them to float independently on their back for the first time.
Young Minnows (12 months to 3 years - Group, maximum 4 children) The instructor works one-on-one with each child following the same structure and emphasis on water survival as the Swimboree Class.
