The FREE Toddler classes are 20 minutes, 1 day per week. The purpose of Toddler classes is to teach the survival float. Parents sit at the pool side to provide safety and comfort to their child.

Benefits of Toddler classes – 6 months - 12 months: make your child comfortable in the water and regain their ability to hold their breath under water. 12 months – 2 years: learn to hold their breath on cue and to survival float.

Spaces are limited. To reserve your spot, call (714) 641-2636 today!    Age Suitability: 6 months – 2 years
