Formerly known as Parent & Me

Accompanied by a parent/guardian, infants and toddlers learn to be comfortable in the water and develop swim readiness skills through fun and confidence-building experiences, while parents learn about water safety, drowning prevention, and the importance of supervision. Children should wear swim diapers under their swimsuits and must be accompanied in the water by a parent, guardian, or other trusted adult.

If there is only one child signed up for a class by the time this session begins, that class time will turn into one-on-one private lessons for half the session (4 consecutives classes). Child may continue with one-on-one private lessons for the second half of the session if a second payment is made.

Refund Policy: A refund, minus a $20.00 cancellation fee will be granted if request is made one week or more before the start of the session. A system credit can be applied if the request is made less than one week before the session begins. Refunds will not be issued to participants who drop out after classes begin.
