Parent/Child Aquatics
(ages 6 months - 5 years)

The Summit Swimming Program offers swiming lessons for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.

These lessons require at least one parent or adult to be in the water with each child during class.

Instructors will work with parents to lead children through a series of games, activities, and routines to reinforce basic safety and swimming skills.

Although, most children do not learn to fully swim on their own, this is the best time to teach children to overcome fears of water, build comfort, and start on the skill progression.
