Teaching children to swim gives them the confidence to be in and around water, as well as giving you the peace of mind that your child will understand basic swimming and self-rescue techniques. At Hubbard Family Swim School, you can come with your baby as young as 2 months to start their swim lessons. This swim school offers parent and me classes for kids 2 to 5 months in the Baby Splash program and kids 6 to 35 months in the Little Snapper swim class.

In the Baby Splash class, you’ll be in the water with your youngster as the instructor teaches both of you basic water safety skills. This part of the program allows the child to acclimatize to the water so they’ll feel comfortable and balanced. The Little Snapper class builds on the previous program and builds on water safety skills while adding back floating and rollover breathing skills. Taking these swim classes at Hubbard Family Swim School with your baby creates an amazing bond with them while they have fun splashing, kicking, and floating in the warm water.
