A parent-and-me class for older toddlers ready to move more on their own. Children practice turning, reaching the wall, floating and climbing out safely, with a parent or caregiver still in the water.
One of 11 levels between a first float and the swim team. Each one starts where the one before it ends.
The skills from Tiger Sharks, with less support each week and more of the work done by your child.
Your toddler starts choosing to go under, with stronger breath control each time.
A short underwater swim from the coach to a parent.
After getting in or going under, turning around and heading straight for the wall.
Reaching the wall, holding on, and starting to move along it hand over hand.
Flipping onto the back to float and breathe, with less support each time.
Getting out of the pool safely, under their own power.
Toddlers start here once they are comfortable taking part in the water with a parent or caregiver.
Underwater skills come through calm, planned submersions, repeated until they feel ordinary.
Parents stay in the water and learn how to support a child who is doing more on their own.
Up to 6 parent-child pairs with one coach. One price covers you and your toddler.
3 classes a week, 30 minutes each, as scheduled in our booking system. Booking shows which of them have a place.

About StarfishesFun fact
The blue whale is the largest animal known to have lived on Earth, and its heart pumps about 60 gallons of blood with each beat. Our Blue Whales fit in the lesson pool a little more easily.
Bring a swimsuit, a swim diaper if needed, and a towel. The first class shows how close your toddler is to swimming on their own.
