- Water Babies
Ages 6 months to 3 years. This is a beginner class that takes a non-aggressive approach to introducing the water. A parent or other adult is required in the water with the child as we sing songs and play games. The main goal of the class is to achieve comfortability and a fun experience for the child while teaching additional skills when they are ready. Parents tend to enjoy this class as much as the child!
- PLittle
PLittle is specifically for ages 2-3 years old and focuses on establishing comfort and safety in the water without a parent.
