Baby & Me Classes

   Baby & Me Classes Ages 6 months to (approximately) 2 yrs

  Baby & Me is a water orientation, skill development, and safety class designed for baby and an adult.

   This course combines GENTLE water adaptation methods along with safety & skill developmental learning techniques to make for a positive first experience in the water.

This course also will teach survival skills so that your child will instinctively know how to respond should they find themselves in the water by accident. Development of proper kicking and arm movement in water are also practiced.

Baby swimming brings benefits that are more than just fun. Research has shown that baby swimmers have better balance, coordination and are also better at grasping at things than non-swimmers. This difference persists even when children are five years old, when babies who have been taught to swim still outperform their peers (Sigmundsson, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, 2010). Findings also show being in the water strengthens your baby's body as well as reduces the risk of drowning since your child will then feel the water is "a second home".

Baby & ME is a GROUP Class, is 30 minutes long and is set up so you make take the class one, two or more times per week.

You and your baby together will learn water safety, songs associated with moving certain parts of the body in water, and methods to have your baby get a true 'feel' of functioning in the water. This is a wonderful bonding experience that will develop trust, self-esteem, and the necessary skills to propel themselves through, and have a love of the water.
