Ages 4 Months – 3 Years

StarBabies & StarTots

Overview

For children ages 4-36 months, the StarBabies course introduces the core competencies by providing instruction to the adult who accompanies the child (such as the parent, grandparent, guardian, caregiver) about how to help develop aquatic readiness.

The purpose of this course is to develop in very young children a high comfort level in the water while at the same time training caregivers in water safety and drowning prevention. This course does not teach children of this age to become accomplished swimmers or survive in the water; it does provide a confidence-building, fun, loving experience as a foundation for a lifetime of aquatic learning.

Designed with confident and independent Toddlers in mind, our StarTot program is small group lessons without the caregiver assisting. This lesson runs at a gentle pace and focuses on lesson/swim readiness skills and Toddler Safety.

Through independent swim lessons, your toddlers social confidence, coordinatation, safety awareness and swim skills will grow. The purpose of this class is to develop in very young children a high comfort level in the water.
