Why should parents choose our S.A.F.E. Baby/Toddler™ survival program.
This is designed to equip your little one with lifesaving skills when they are near or in the water. Our program uses a gentle, positive approach to water safety. Instructors build in toys, soft, consistent cueing, hugs, and emotional support to create a bond with your swimmer, so they feel comfortable and confident in the water. This is not a "throw them in the pool" style class. Each lesson builds on a skill that naturally flows to the next.

What to expect each week.
In this 4-week program you will see the slow and steady progression of your little one from simple submersion to rolling and holding their survival float. Each week can vary depending on the swimmer's age and developmental milestones they have already met. Typical skills we target during lessons include submersion, breath control, arms reaching for safety, head orientation, survival float, and swim float sequences. At the end of the program, we will test your swimmer to determine success of the program. Final reccommendations will be made by the instructor.
