Our Programs
Star Babies and Star Tots (6 months-18 months, and 18 months-36 months)
This is designed to get baby comfortable in the water. This course requires an adult to be in the water with baby. The course is does not teach babies and tots to become accomplished swimmers or survive in the water; it does provide confidence building, bonding, and a loving experience. We will learn how to get their faces wet, lean back, and try to float! The Tots will learn basic holding their breath underwater, how to jump in and basic self-rescue skills. We will practice, "what happens if you fall in?" in both a bathing suit and street cloths. Parents will learn water safety techniques like: what life vest is appropriate? They will see the basics steps of CPR for drowning accidents (it's different). Both the parent(s) and child will be learning this class It's also fun time in the water with the baby. We sing songs, jam out to music, and play with bubbles. My twins love it, and I am sure your babies will too! It is an amazing time to bond with your baby.
Star Baby and Star Tots will be posting more information soon.
