Little Joeys
The Little Joeys program is designed to teach your child vital water safety awareness skills along with basic swimming skills. The Little Joeys program encourages exploration of the water, creating trust, building confidence, and relaxed submersions at the child’s own pace. It is our goal to assist babies to acquire these skills in a fun, stimulating environment. Once the infant has mastered these skills we will then transition the child in preparation for the child to swim without their parents in the water for the very first time.
