Baby & Tots
Baby & Tots: (Ages 6 months to 3 years)
The purpose of this course is to develop in very young children a high comfort level in the water while at the same time training the adults who accompany them in water safety. This course does not teach children to become accomplished swimmers or to survive in the water; it does provide a confidence-building, fun and loving experience. One adult must be in the water with each child. Swim diapers are required.
