Parent & Tot
(4 months – 3 years)
Introduce your baby to the water in a safe and fun way! Our child-centred program is the first of its kind in Canada, designed to introduce little swimmers to submersion, breath control, kicking on both the front and back and underwater swimming.
Join your child in our warm, salt-water pool as they discover the joys of swimming. We encourage you to start your baby as early as four months old to develop comfort in and around the pool.
Children graduate into our Swim 101 program at the age of 3.
Swim 101
(3+ years)
Our Swim 101 classes lay the groundwork for your child to swim on their own. Important skills they will learn include self-submersion and breath control, front and back kicks, and freestyle swimming with their face in the water.
We have our Swim 101 students under the age of 6 use a Power Swimr to foster confidence in the water: a child who is afraid isn’t in the right mindset to learn! This tool adapts to your child’s skill level through the removal of foam layers to provide just the right amount of support they need to take those leaps of faith.
Children graduate into Swim Strokes 201 when they can swim 15m breathing as needed without a floatation device.
