Parent and Tot
Parent & Tot: Red Cross Starfish, Duck, and Sea Turtle
Ages: 3 years and under
This parent and tot course is designed to have parents in the water with their youngster. Parents learn to teach their child about the water through play and imitation. Parents' safety awareness is also increased through active participation in this class.
Starfish
Starfish is the entry level with a focus on orientation to water, buoyancy, movement, entries (child must be able to hold their head up).
Duck
Duck is the 2nd level with a focus on building confidence through movement through water, front and back motions and learning use of arms.
Sea Turtle
Sea Turtle is the 3rd level with a focus on assisted front and back swims, floats, recovery, and use of buoyant objects. Primarily using this as a transition level for children to go to the 3 year-old program without a parent or caregiver.
All 3 levels are achieved through games, songs, and active water play.
