Survival Class Program
This is a water survival program designed to teach independent swimming and self-rescue skills to infants, toddlers and young children. We begin by gently introducing your child to the water and then focus on teaching them to attain and maintain a back float from any fall-in situation. Older children also learn to swim a short distance between back floats to reach a safe location. At the end of the course, your child will practice their skills in clothing and shoes to simulate a real water accident. You will also learn how to work with them yourself to maintain their skills and safely enjoy the water together.
