Group Swim Lessons
New & Improved!
Baby & Me Swim Lessons
Age: 3 months – 3 years + Adult
Only 1 adult allowed per child
Maximum of 12 per class
We’ve revamped this program! Baby & Me will now be offered at 4 levels. This new structure will feature skills and concepts to help children become safer and more independent in the water. This program is designed for both children and parents to learn safety skills. Lessons will follow a transitional course moving from parents in the water with their child to the child completing the lesson independently with the instructor.
