About This Activity
Description
Parents and children in the water, learn together to increase a child's comfort level in the water and build a foundation of basic skills. We have combined the two classes (Infant and Toddler) into one fun-filled class. This class will help the parent learn how to introduce water safety concepts and a healthy recreational habit for entire family.
