Our award winning Infant and Toddler classes are specially designed for children between the ages of 3 months to 3 years. The classes are taught in our indoor pools heated between 87-92 degrees. Warm water is essential for optimal learning with this age group!
In the Parent and Me class the Parent/Guardian and the child learn together as skill attainment is achieved through songs, games and routine. When the swimmer is ready to graduate into a small class of 3 the parent graduates out of the water as the swimmers learn how to work in a group effectively with the Instructor. The Baby Grad level is where creativity soars as learning is achieved through creative imagery, routine, and group patterns.
 Instructor Training: All of our Infant and Toddler Instructors have completed the Australian Swim School's Infant/Toddlers course that includes our award winning manuals, tests, and practical "in water" training conducted by our Programing Team and the Bainbridge family. Extended training includes the United Swim Schools Association Infant Training Course and the Australian  "Aus Swim"Teachers Training Program.

Our Junior Swim Program is designed for children between the ages of 3 yrs. and 5 yrs. Each class has a maximum of 4 students and allows swimmers to begin learning in a class setting with the Instructor. Group movement and dynamics are used to keep the swimmers engaged throughout the 30 minute lesson.  Core swimming fundamentals are taught at the start as we build skills to create a solid foundation for all future strokes. There are three levels in the Junior Swim Program. Certificates are awarded to swimmers as they graduate from each level.
