Infant & Parent and Pre-School Programs Cost: Member $40 / Non-Member $52 |
This program is divided into three groups; Parent/Child, Pre-School with Parent (in the water), and Pre-School without Parent. There are no prerequisites for these programs but to assist parents in determining which pre-school program is best for their child several factors should be taken into consideration. They include the parent's preference and comfort level, the child's level of comfort in the water, and the child's willingness to work directly with the instructor without his/her parent in the water. To determine the best approach, we strongly encourage parents to have their children participate in a swimming skills pre-test. There is no fee for the pre-test and advanced registration is not required; see schedule for dates and times. Saturday June 7 9:00 - 10:00am Tuesday June 11 6:00 - 7:00pm
Parent/Child (6 mos. - 3 yrs.) This class helps infants and toddlers six months to three years old become comfortable in and around the water. The participation of a parent or adult guardian in the water with the child is required. Infants should be able to sit up on their own before taking this class. This class is not designed to teach children to become good swimmers or to survive in the water on their own. The program does give parents information and techniques to help orient their children to the water and to supervise water activities safely. Swim diapers are required for all infants and toddlers.
Pre-School with Parent (3-5 yrs.) In this class the parent works directly with the child in the water under the guidance of an instructor. This class focuses on water safety and provides an introduction to basic swimming skills. Examples of skills taught include blowing bubbles, opening eyes under water, and front and back floats (with or without support).
Pre-School without Parent (3-5 yrs.) In this class the parent observes from poolside while the child works directly with the instructor. This class focuses on water safety and provides an introduction to basic swimming skills. Examples of skills taught include blowing bubbles, opening eyes under water, and front and back floats (with or without support).
