Infant Survival

Most babies love water, sometimes as much as their parents. This is the optimal combination in any program for very happy babies. Our program does not just splash and play, we teach YOU how to teach your baby to swim, bond, have fun and exercise.

All classes include babies from 2 weeks to 35 months of age. Each class begins with review of previous skills. Then we teach two to three skills each lesson toward your baby being able to jump (or fall) into the pool and then swim, getting themselves out of the water, or coming up to a back float. We also teach how to roll over to a back float whenever panic sets in.  Infant Survival is eight (8) ½ hour lessons, two times per week.  Babies learn by rote, needing lots of repetition and reinforcement for skills to be acquired. After graduation, you will continue on with Baby Swim classes.  Infant Survival and Baby Swim classes are combined and are both included in the price.  Baby Swim classes can then be continued on a monthly basis. See Baby Swim below for further information.
 

Baby Swim

Baby Swim is our Advanced Class for Infants. This does not mean that the babies are more advanced. This means that the parents who go into the water with their babies, have already learned the skills to teach their babies with our methods and philosophy behind them. This class reinforces skills learned in Infant Survival, with some play and developmentally challenging activities. We also help troubleshoot individual differences in skill acquisition.
 

We recommend once or twice a week, along with some practice each week in the bathtub, a jacuzzi, or during our Open Swim times, which are free to all current students.
 

Reusable Health Dept approved cloth swim diaper are mandatory.

Year ‘round Lessons are recommended for young children who are starting a swimming program.. Drowning is the #1 cause of childhood death in children under the age of five in California. Weekly visits to the pool will instill respect and safety skills when they are in or around any body of water and add to the Layers of Protection against drownings. Remember, the only 100% preventative measure against a childhood drowning is the constant visual supervision from a qualified adult.
