This activity is a safe, shared water orientation experience for children 9 months - 4 years (<48 months) accompanied in the water by an adult partner from their every day cohort / household. Each adult -child pair will be provided space on the first row of the bleachers and an area in the pool permitting the adult to stand no deeper than chest deep in water. Structure and support techniques will be taught to adults while children develop good habits around the water and experience buoyancy and movement. Enrollment is limited by the space available.
Guided swim workout, NOT a traditional "lesson", meant for water competent school-aged swimmers interested in fitness. This program builds on previously learned basic skills and is a good bridge between intermediate level lessons and school swim teams.
