Whether your child is a fearless water baby or a cautious observer, this workshop is designed to support you in becoming your child’s first and most trusted swim teacher. Our goal is to give you the tools to help your little one feel confident and safe around water — during the workshop and beyond.
🏊 What to Expect During the Workshop
We intentionally keep our group small — just 5 parent-child pairs — to create a calm, focused learning environment.
The workshop includes 45 minutes in the water together.
Instructors will demonstrate each skill, then give you time to practice both on your own and with hands-on support from the instructor.
Some little ones dive right in, others may be more hesitant — both are totally normal!
Your child is never expected to perform in a certain way. The emphasis is on teaching parents skills and approaches they can use any time they're in the water with their child.
If your child isn’t in the mood to participate, you're welcome to sit poolside, observe, and still benefit from watching other families and listening to the instructions.
At the end of class, each family will receive a handout reviewing all the skills we practiced — so you’ll leave with resources in hand.

Swimwear for you and your child
Swim diaper (required for all babies and toddlers who are not potty trained)
