| Infant/Toddler Classes |
Your baby will feel at ease in the water early on with infant/toddler swim classes. The earlier your child is introduced to the water, the easier it will be for them to become strong swimmers. Children ages 6 months to 36 months are invited to these clases. Children will be introduced to kicks, glides, underwater exploration, arm movements, and safety skills. Parents will also be oriented to the proper methods of cueing, safety, and positioning so they may further their child's experience. Orient your child to the water, and have a great time too! Classes are offered throughout the year. For more information on dates, call our aquatics manager at (865) 531-5735. |
