Waterbabies

Waterbabies+

Parents join baby in the water

For babies who can already submerge comfortably for 8-10 seconds. Babies learn to be more independent in a fun environment, and to move three feet through the water. We employ a delicate balance at this level between allowing enough independence for babies to embrace swimming as transportation, but not allowing babies to struggle in the water, appearing to fight for survival.

Your instructor will help you feel secure in the water so your baby doesn’t feel fear and anxiety.

Advanced Waterbabies

Parent joins baby in the water

For babies who can already kick three feet through the water. Little ones learn to be more confident in a fun environment and are the veterans of the Waterbabies class. The results are increased confidence while they learn to jump in, kick independently through the water and exit the pool.

This is a very exciting level of swim lessons as babies learn to enter the water, kick a distance of five feet and exit the pool independently. Graduates from Advanced Waterbabies are known to draw a crowd when they swim in public. People cannot believe that a young baby can swim so well!

*Note: For your safety, children under the age of three are required to wear two washable, reusable swim pants.

Super Waterbabies

Parent joins baby in the water for the first 3 weeks

For two-year-olds who can already move five feet through the water. This will be the first time your toddler will be with a teacher while you watch from outside the water. Parents who watch lessons from benches beside the pool are enlisted as cheerleaders and water watchers for this very entertaining class of little swimmers.

Toddlers are challenged to increase their distance to seven feet and learn the safety skill of a sitting jump, turn and swim.
