 PARENT-CHILD LESSONS (30 mins.)
     
They primary objective is to get both the parent and child comfortable with the water. The child will become aware of the differences between moving through water and on dry land, while parents will become aware of how to teach his or her child to be safer in and around water. Classes are designed to allow the child to have fun in the water while the parent guides him or her to learn aquatics skills. The child will be exposed to games that use basic movements in the water, such as kicking, arm strokes, and breathing control. Activities are based on the developmental abilities of the child.

Children start moving more independently through the water under their parents' guidance. Parents learn more about aquatic and boating safety, and children begin to learn something about these topics as well. At this point the instructor begins to prepare the children to work directly with an instructor on their own.
