Toddler Levels

Minnows I with Parent (6 months - 5 years):

This class is designed to introduce children to the basics of swimming and give parents the confidence to help their children become better swimmers.

This class is for children who have no experience in the water or who are hesitant about water. Taught without a parent, it will encourage children to become comfortable in the water. Pre-Level 1 swim skills are taught. Children must be able to hold onto the wall, wait their turn, and follow simple instructions.
