Baby Explorers: Water Acclimation for Baby and Caregiver
Set your child up for a lifetime of safety, fun and fitness by introducing your baby to the water early and safely. Our Baby Explorer class is a gentle water acclimation class designed specially for caregivers and babies 6-18 months. Learn how to safely support and hold the littlest ones, and how to prepare and encourage them to try skills. Focus is on general water safety, learning how to avoid accidental water entries, and developing comfort and confidence for both baby and guardian. Songs and colorful water toys make the class fun and encourage babies to try skills. Our Baby Explorer class creates a memorable experience to share with a child. There are no forceful submersions - each guardian/child pair will learn at their own a pace. Teachers provide a review of the confusing array of floatation devices so that parents can choose the appropriate one for their child at the different stages of learning, and how and when to use them. Fee includes one guardian and one baby, and follows the private lesson fees. There is a surcharge for second guardian in the water.
Babies must wear three layers of protection to help guard against water contamination: disposable swim diaper against the skin, a re-usable swim diaper as a second layer, and a bathing suit.
