Goals: To become comfortable for group lessons. Toddlers are challenged to be more independent in a fun environment and through the water. We teach a delicate balance at this level between allowing enough independence for toddlers to embrace swimming as transportation, but not allowing them to flounder in the water, fighting for survival. Our instructors will help guide parents so that they don’t hold the toddlers so close he can’t experience buoyancy and swimming.
