Parent-Tot Swim Lessons

(Ages 6 months – 3 years)

Therapy Pool 

Saturdays 10:45am to 11:15am

 

Both parent and child jump into these lessons. The goal is to earn your child’s trust in a fun and structured setting. Children 6 – 24 months must wear swim diapers. This is an "introduction to water" class.  We will be teaching the parents to teach their child.  This class is not a series class, join at anytime.  Pay per visit on Saturdays that swim lessons are being taught.  See Saturday Preschool Lessons for dates.

 

Y Members/$5 per class (pay per visit)

Therapy Pool

Your preschooler will build swimming skills in an appropriate learning group. As students progress through Pike, Eel, Ray and Starfish classes, they will become comfortable in the water, learn to kick, float and swim the length of the pool on front and back using rhythmic breathing and over-arm recovery.
