Puddles: Thursdays 4:30pm

Puddles (formerly Parent Child) Group Swim Lessons are for children ages 6 months - 3 years.

This Session is intended for students who are new to the water, can support their own heads and can sit up either by themselves or with support from a parent on the side of the pool. A low student-teacher ratio allows participants to safely develop skills and confidence in the water. Skills taught may include: pool safety, enjoying family time in an aquatic environment, acclimating to the water and getting wet, breath control, entering the water, submerging safely and an introduction to swimming skills such as kicking, floating, or arm motions. We accomplish these skills through play and songs! No prior lessons or experience necessary.
