Class Description

This unique swim class for parents and tots (5-18 months) is a great combination of fitness and fun for everyone. Each 55 minute class includes a 25 minute aquafit workout for parents, followed by a 30 minute activity/swim component for the tots. Most importantly, our pools are warm for the children, and one of our locations has a salt-water pool.

During the first half of our class, flotation seats are provided for children, allowing them to kick their legs, splash with their hands and remain in contact with their parents at all times.

During the second half of our class, children will enjoy active sing-songs with a variety of toys (puppets, balls, water cups, hula-hoops, splash pads, slide, etc.), and also learn basic swimming skills such as ear-dipping, face-wetting, flutterkicking, the back float, and submersion (optional).
