Parent and Tot Program

The Parent and Tot Program is designed for children ages 6 months to 3 years and their parent or guardian. This program introduces young children to the water in a safe and fun environment while helping parents learn how to support their child’s comfort and movement in the water. Taught by a PARA swim instructor, the class focuses on water adjustment, floating, kicking, and basic safety skills through songs, games, and guided activities. A parent or guardian must accompany the child in the water during the entire class.
