This week we are finishing up our swimming lessons at the Hamilton Community Pool. Ducklings meet every day for 2 weeks for 30 minutes at a time. The Red Cross recommends only 30 minutes for little ones as the water temp is a refreshing 82 degrees. We sing songs to help teach some swim basics and get comfy in the water then practice hanging on to the wall, climbing in and out using the ladder, trying to blow bubbles in the water, floating on our backs, getting our ears in the water and then the biggee- going under the water. Not my favorite though my son has yet to cry over it.
In Holland you can take classes at the Holland Aquatic Center, but the time they had for their version of parent/tot class was right at dinner time so we chose our local school district instead. Links to both below.
