Class
Description--Diaper-Fit
This unique swim class for parents and tots (5-18 months) is a great
combination of fitness and fun for everyone. Each 60 minute class
includes a 25 minute aquafit workout for parents, followed by a
25 minute activity/swim component for the tots. Most importantly,
our pools are warm for the children, and one location is a salt-water
pool.
During the first half of our class, parents enjoy a challenging
aquafit workout while their children sit alongside in flotation
seats, 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 progessive stages towards submersion.
Class
Description--Toddler-Fit
This fifty minute class
in the shallow end of the pool further develops the basic swimming
skills learned in Diaper-Fit. A variety of different games and activites
are accompanied by all-new songs and water toys. Children will increase
their comfort level in the water and be ready for progression to
Red Cross swimming lessons.
Important Announcement to Diaper-Fit and Toddler-Fit Parents

must wear a
cloth diaper swimsuit ... regular diaper is not worn
underneath
