Session 1 Group Swim Parent & Child Aquatics

This American Red Cross Parent & Child Aquatics class is held at the Student Development Complex (SDC) Pool in Houghton. Designed for children ages 6 months to 3 years, it requires a parent or guardian to be in the water with each participant. The program focuses on water familiarization and preparatory swimming skills, including asking permission before entering water, safe entry and exit, bubble blowing, submerging in various ways, buoyancy, gliding with assistance, and playing safely. Parents receive water safety guidance and techniques to help orient their children to the water. Personal item storage is available on the pool deck. Goggles are strongly recommended, and showering is mandatory before entering the pool. Class size is limited. No prior swimming experience is needed.
