What You Need to Know - Attending Parent and Tot One and Two

Print this page

We are excited to have you swimming with us and glad you picked our pool to start your babies and tots on their lifelong love of water!

Just a few things you need to know before you attend:

  1. Parent and Tot lessons are designed to teach YOU the caregiver how to safely swim and be with your child in water. This time in the pool will be spent playing, singing, and learning.  We teach you how to hold your child in the water so they start to learn to be comfortable on their bellies, backs, and upright, and we teach you water safety information to keep you and your family safe outside of swimming lessons. 
  2. All tots must wear water proof swim diapers.  It is absolutely imperative that your child does not wear a diaper in the pool.  For various reasons this is very unsafe and unsanitary. Please make sure you frequently check your childs' swim diaper and change diapers at designated changing stations.
  3. Please remember you will be invited to come on deck and/or into the pool by the Swimming Instructor in charge of your class.  We start teaching our children to be water safe from day one by teaching you how to observe and model safe water behaviour.
  4. If you have questions about the water safe messages being presented or techniques used in the pool please do not hesitate to ask the instructor.  Should you need further information, please feel free to contact the Pool Coordinator.
  5. Remember the best way to love the water later in life is to have FUN and SAFE experiences early on.
