Aqua Babies/Tots at Union Location

Newborn to Preschool Age

“Aqua Babies/Tots” at Little Fins Swim School is a beginner level, parent participation, small group class. Our trained instructors work with parents to help develop the natural instincts that babies have in the water, as well as the primary swim skills of breath control and buoyancy. Spend fun, quality time with your “aqua baby/tot,” while building critical water-safety survival skills. Classes include basic swim survival skills each week, along with gross motor skill work, sensory play, new routines (which are important for development), tons of love, encouragement, praise, and fun, making “Aqua Babies/Tots” an incredible bonding experience. Early water stimulation aids in child development, physically, mentally, and emotionally. We touch on all of this through this unique water experience class.

What should I bring?:
A swimsuit and towel for you and your kiddo! Children not potty trained will be REQUIRED to wear a swim diaper. Swim diapers must be tight fitting around the legs and waist. No diaper covers or any diaper with snaps, buttons or Velcro will be permitted. If you forget a swim diaper, we have disposable swim diapers available for $5 cash purchase each, or now available for purchase, Splash About Happy Nappy reusable swim diaper. These swim diapers are the best we have found on the market. We are happy to show you a sample. If your child needs a swim cap, or ear plugs, please bring your own.

What ages can attend?: Newborn to Preschool Age (approx. 5 years old). You know your child best, and if you feel a parent participation class is the place to start, that is wonderful. We work with each family and child at their level and to meet your needs. Little Fins Policy: We do not fully submerge or put babies faces in or under water if they are younger than 6 months old.
