Tadpole: Baby & Toddler Swim Lessons for Ages 3 to 36 Months

Tadpole is a parent-and-child swim lesson for babies and toddlers ages 3 to 36 months, held with a parent or guardian in the water for every session. This program introduces little ones to the water in a calm, playful setting designed to build comfort and confidence. With a parent/guardian in the pool, our trained instructors lead the group using songs, games, and gentle movement to encourage a positive connection with the water. Each lesson focuses on acclimation, trust-building, and introducing foundational skills that begin to develop muscle memory for future progress. Parents also receive helpful tips and education on water awareness and supervision throughout the class.

5 Goals of Tadpole

  1. Water acclimation
  2. No tears, no fear
  3. Assisted back float with ears in
  4. Full gentle submersion
  5. Working towards independence in the swim ring
