Learn to Swim Classes

WATER BABIES (6-24 months)

In this class, parents are in the pool with their babies, helping them become acclimated to the water and guiding them as the instructor teaches beginning swimming and safety skills.

By learning breath control, how to float on their backs and how to crawl out of the pool, children gradually gain skill and confidence in the water.

Classes are held in the shallow-water leisure pool, with a child-to-parent ratio of 1:1.
