Parents join baby in the water
How do you learn to swim? You start singing, of course! Class begins for your toddler with songs and activity in the water, accompanied by a parent, and we show how easily your child can learn breath control for 8 to 10 seconds and be at ease submerged underwater.

Waterbabies+
Parents join baby in the water
The Plus class is for babies who have learned the basics and are now comfortable under the water and can control their breath for 8 to 10 seconds. Now they learn to strike out on their own a little, and kick forward through the water three feet. Our instructors are super-attentive during this important class because it’s where babies learn that the water is not a struggle but a place to play in and travel through, for the sheer joy of swimming.
And don’t worry, Mom and Dad, our instructor is right there for you too, so YOU don’t fret while your baby concentrates on the fun.

Advanced Waterbabies
Parent joins baby in the water
The Advanced class is for the babies who now regard the water as fun – a supportive medium rather than a challenge. These little veterans of the initial Waterbabies training will learn to kick through the water 5 feet, and control their breathing under the surface. It’s time to learn some moves.
Watch your baby practice entering the water, turning around to kick back to the wall, and then getting out of the water. Congratulations, you have a water baby! It’s okay to cry a little if you want – everyone gathers to watch at this exciting stage of the learning, as young babies start playing in the water with natural confidence.

Super Waterbabies
Parent joins baby in the water for the first 3 weeks
The Supers class is for two years of age, toddlers on land maybe, but able to move five feet through the water with ease. During this series of classes, parents will eventually get out of the water and cheer from the sidelines as the instructor and children learn some more moves.
This class extends the range to seven feet of swimming and teaches important skills: a sitting jump entry, then a turn in the water and a swim back to the wall. It’s going to be easy to cheer from the edge of the pool as these little swimmers have fun.

X-treme Waterbabies
Parent not in the water
Let’s get X-treme! We will take the 7 feet that the Supers can already swim and extend it to 10 feet. And that’s just the start. In this class, your toddler now learns rollover breathing, and the sitting jump now becomes a standing jump, with a turn and swim back to safety.
