Designed for first-time swimmers and their caregivers, Water Explorers introduces babies and toddlers to swimming and teaches caregivers how to safely support children in the water.
What will my family learn in Water Explorers?
Your child will build the fundamental skills of safe swimming through fun songs and games that foster passions for the water and exercise. Meanwhile, you’ll learn proper holding techniques and exercises to support your swimmer’s development.
