Infant and Parent Classes

Studies have shown that early positive exposure to water helps children become successful swimmers in the future.  Explore the water for the first time together.  Learn proper holds, and transmit a love of the water to your little one.

Our Infant and Parent classes offer water exploration and education for infants ages six months through three years. Our goal is promote water enrichment and aquatic readiness activities for parents and their infants and young children. In this program, parents learn from the instructor's example how to guide their children through positive reinforcement and correct skills.  Classes will be held in The Wave Natatorium.

 Explore the water for the first time together!  Oyster and Pearl is the first of three progressive levels for ages six to 36 months. The instructor uses games, songs, and activities to guide and encourage comfort and safety in the water for both child and parent. Parents learn proper holds to enhance learning and safety, and to transmit a love of water to your “pearl”. Children learn to relax and enjoy the water, as well as basic supported floats and movements.
