Lesson Descriptions

Parent and Tot 1/2/3

Spend quality time in the pool with your child, while you both have fun, learn and socialize. Through structured activities and in-water interaction between parent and child, we stress the importance of play in developing water-positive attitudes and skills. Activities and progressions are based on child development, so parents can register in the level appropriate for their child's age. We provide Lifesaving Society Water Smart tips on keeping your child safe in any aquatic setting.

Preschool 1

These preschoolers will have fun learning to get in and out of water with assistance and we will help them jump into shallow water. They will try floats and glides on their front and back and practice safe movement in shallow water wearing a Personal Flotation Device (PFD). They will learn to get their face wet and blow bubbles underwater.

Preschool 2

These preschoolers will learn how to jump into chest deep water by themselves and get in and out wearing a Personal Flotation Device (PFD). They will submerge and exhale underwater 3 times. Using a buoyant aid, they will work on moving through the water kicking on their front and back.
