Education and Exploration: Our revamped AquaBabies 2026!
Our AquaBabies program features three classes. Though primarily split by age, each class also builds on skills from the previous one. Please follow instructors recommendations for the best class for you and your little swimmers.
Our AquaBabies classes are designed for ages 6 months to 18 months of age, our AquaTots classes are designed for ages 18 months to 36 months of age, and our AquaKids classes are designed for ages 24 months to 48 months of age. All three levels require all children to be accompanied by a parent or guardian in the water as the instructor leads families in safe holds, fun songs and activities that are meant to build comfort and skill in the water to strengthen an interest in and safety in water for all ages.
AquaBabies primarily focuses on introductions to the water, getting face wet, body positions/support techniques, lifejackets, safety buns, returning to the wall after entering the water, and water exploration.
AquaTots primarily focuses on blowing mouth bubbles, assisted floats, going underwater with support, gliding/kicking with support, lifejackets, jumping from and returning to the wall, and transitions from instructors to parents.
AquaKids primarily focuses on blowing nose bubbles, floating independently, going underwater with or without support, gliding/kicking with or without assistance, lifejackets, pushing off the wall on front and back, group activities with multiple parents and little swimmers, and spending more time with an instructor to prepare little swimmers for group or private lessons without a parent.
We will continue to offer Level 1 Preschool Aquatics for swimmers aged 3 years to 5 years who are comfortable in the water without a parent. Please see our Group Lessons page and Levels page for more information.
Class registration covers one parent/guardian in the water per child. If you wish to bring two adults, there is a $7 instructional drop-in fee for the second adult. This is going up $2 to match all other specialty instruction drop-in rates beginning in Spring 2026.
