What Happens in Parent & Child Aquatics?

In Parent & Child Aquatics, our instructors follow a plan to introduce swimming and water safety skills that are developmentally appropriate for infants and toddlers. Routines and familiarity are extremely important to this age group. Each class uses toys, songs, fun, and games to keep the children engaged and enjoying the water experience, all-the-while teaching them basic aquatic skills.

To be able to progress to the next level, the participant must be able to do all the skills above and be at least 4 years of age to move up to Preschool Aquatics Level 1.




Parents and guardians must stay off the pool deck during swim lessons and not attempt to coach their swimmer based on what they observe during lessons. All are expected to observe sessions from the elevated spectator area, keeping the pool deck clear of non-participants. Please note that we do not allow any person to climb on or through the railings. Accessibility accommodations should be requested through the front desk and discussed with the instructor as well.

For safety reasons, wet bodies are not allowed in the spectator area. Swimmers may dry off completely on deck or in a locker room before being seated in the spectator area.
