Baby and Me Swim Lessons - All Areas
Little ones start in the "Baby and Me" class because we want children to learn to love the water and respect it at the same time. This class meets once a week with other parents and children. It teaches different ways you can interact with your child in the water as well as teaching methods that you can do outside of class.

Bugs (4-10 months)
At this age, infants are keenly aware of their environment and are processing massive amounts of sensory information. Trained instructors lead parents and their children through group activities for social interaction; core body exercises to prepare for crawling and walking; age appropriate gymnastics for overall body strength, balance and spatial awareness; and ball/bubble activities for hand-eye coordination. Activities are set to music tailored for the class.
At this age children are very mobile, beginning to solve problems, take risks, establish independence, and speech is rapidly developing. The Little Gym program includes exploration and risk taking with a variety of equipment; locomotor and physical activities for strength, spatial awareness and balance; and group activities for interaction and listening skills. Birds incorporates specifically written music which aids in cognitive growth and speech development. Beasts (19 months - 2.5 years)
Children in this age group are faster and stronger, learning more complex movements, ready for greater challenges, developing a greater sense of self and experiencing pride and self confidence. The Little Gym builds on earlier semesters, introducing more complex movements; safe success-oriented activities; challenging physical activities based on gymnastics; and more opportunities to listen and follow directions. Super Beasts (2.5 - 3 years)
Children this age are highly socialized and able to follow directions from instructors to reduce parental involvement. The Little Gym uses structured activities and group games to help follow instructions and develop social interaction; fundamental sports skills such as kicking, throwing and catching; and more challenging gymnastics to further strength and balance.
