The parent and baby classes are not the same as the regular schedule. That schedule is for children 19 months of age and up.

Parent and baby classes are for children 6 months-18 months old. The schedule and price will follow at the end of this page, but please read on to find out more about theses classes!

With these classes you are in our heated pool with your baby. You will be taught by the instructor how to work with your baby and how to get them comfortable with going under the water. Also teaching them breath control, how to turn around and hold on to the edge of the pool which is very important if they were to fall in.

If they are very young it is also important that they learn how to balance themselves' on the steps. Being able to sit or pull themselve's up and getting their head out from under the water if they were to topple over. We all know that water doesn't have to be deep for accident's to happen.

If your baby is already familiar with being in and under water, we will teach you how to work with them until they are old enough to take the regular classes.

You will work on teaching them how to just be under the water with no one holding on to them. This takes learning balance also. As they progress, you will teach them how to kick and to use their arms to propel themselves' through the water. You will also teach them how to catch the wall or the step or what ever it is they are swimming towards.

We will teach you how to get them comfortable with being on their backs and working towards learning how to float on their backs all by themselves'. Rolling over and floating is important because when children are very young they do not have the strength yet to be able to pick their heads up out of the water to get a breath of air. This is hard for older children to learn as well.

This is just a sample of a few of the things that you and your baby will learn from this class.

It does not only have to be a parent in the pool with your baby. It can also be a grandparent, relative, nanny, etc. They do have to be an adult and only 2 people are allowed at a time in the class per child. We are sorry, but we can not allow young  siblings to be in the pool or alone outside of the pool unless accompanied by an adult.

A few ways in which you can get your baby ready for their class at home is to start pouring the water over their heads at bath time and if you are in your pools. Seeing you do the same shows them that it's okay also! Don't wipe their faces every time they get water on it.  

 By doing this you are showing them that water is okay on their face and you are helping them by doing this. The more they are used to water on their face the better their chance will be if they were to fall into a pool. They are less apt to panic as much if they are already comfortable with water.  

    Imagine what might happen if they were to fall in, never having had a drop of water touch their face?

   The same goes with using water wings and such (of course a life jacket on a boat is something they should always have), but you want them to learn how to swim on their own, so it's to their benefit to not even start wearing these floaty things!

Wearing these can possibly create two different scenarios'-

Many kids will think they can swim, even without their water wings and throw themselves into a pool. Or if they fall into a pool without them, they won't do a thing because they are only thinking about the fact that they don't have their water wings on.
