This class will introduce your child to the water, WITHOUT their parent/guardian being in the water with them.
     Our goal is that they will put their face in and have fun, while introducing them to the basics of swim lessons.
Clingers (3 yr and older):  limited to 5 participants/instructor    ** multiple class options **
     This class will focus on teaching your child to swim, independently, even for a short time, by the end of 6 weeks. 
     If your swimmer can already swim a short distance, then our focus will be to improve skills and confidence to swim longer.
Self-Supporter (5 yr and older):  limited to 8 participants - 45 min class    ** only offered at 5:30pm **
     This class is for the child that can already swim 15 yards but still needs to work on learning other strokes and building endurance.
