Unlike regular swimming lessons, TYKE TALKS is for the ADULTS. We discuss ideas to promote safety & several ways YOU can facilitate swimming skills at home- even if you yourself can’t swim!
From those first neonatal baths that can be so terrifying for many, to making baths and shower a lot more safe and fun for everyone, to safety around pools, rivers, open water. We develop concepts required for “adult” activities such as scuba diving, standup paddle boarding, surfing or boating, this workshop will introduce skills and techniques, to help you have confidence to teach your child the same.
This fast paced 2 hour DRY (no pool!) workshop is designed to give you, (the parent or caregiver), the knowledge & tools to make water play fun while teaching critical skills for water safety during your child’s development.
Together you can learn (or continue) to love water! And, with continued exposure and practice your children will learn to swim on their own more quickly!
It’s safe to start at anytime…in fact, the earlier, the better. (Provided the infant is otherwise healthy). At just 3 years old, Annabel can now swim on her own! Including with mask & snorkel! Come see how we did it and make WATER more fun for everyone!
- For the private, wet pool option, caregiver participation is required
- Knowledge/ability to swim is not required.
- English and Spanish available.
- Private, semi-private and small group lesson available.
- Midday and evening, weekday, weekend classes available.
