WHY TAKE A FISH CLASS? 
The earlier a child begins swim lessons, the sooner they will develop the vital skills needed to be ‘water-safe’ to better protect themselves in case of an accident. Water survival and safety is so important, especially for the ages of 6 months-3 years old when children are developing and learning the most. Skills taught in the Big Fish/Little Fish classes include basic safety skills such as; blowing bubbles, ‘monkey-walks’, kicking their legs and moving their arms and floating on their backs.​​ Babies are ‘free’ in the water to move their muscles more than on land which leads to better physical development. The fun-filled, interactive games, songs and learn-to-swim skills help babies to develop their motor-skills such as; coordination, agility, balance, alertness and concentration.

The group structure of these classes enhances your infant/toddler’s social development as they encounter and interact with other babies. The range in ages (3.5 months-3 years) gives you the opportunity to encounter students that are working on the same skills but are at different stages of these skills. Ongoing, "rolling enrollment" classes allow for new (fish) parents to get a visual concept of the potential water-skills to be learned by observing seasoned parents. Positivity, love and encouragement experienced in these classes builds confidence and independence in your little one; both very important characteristics for your child to develop a good foundation and for them to continue a safe-swimming journey for future! Research shows that maintaining continuity of lessons will prevent your child from developing a fear of the water as they grow older.
