Prices for Fall Session II

Parent-Child Level I 

6–24 months and one parent or guardian

The primary objective is to get both the parent and child comfortable in the water.  The child will become aware of the differences between moving through water and on dry land, while the parent will become aware of how to teach his or her child to be safe in and around the water.  Classes are designed to allow the child to have fun in the water while the parent guides him or her to learn aquatic skills.  The child will be exposed to developmentally appropriate games that use basic movements in the water such as kicking, arm strokes and breath control.
