your infant/tot will develop a comfort level in and around the water as well as a readiness for learning to swim. Skills introduced include
blowing bubbles, kicking, and jumping in. The adult does not need to know how to swim. Note: There will be one water safety class held inside of the Aquatic park facility, if there is poor weather on the day of your scheduled class.
