Swim Starters- Water Discovery A Parent/Child (6-36 months) at Fulton County YMCA
Parent & Child Swim (Baby & Me) is a gentle, playful introduction to the water for infants and toddlers alongside a parent or caregiver. This class focuses on water comfort, safety, and connection. Through songs, guided activities, and supported movement, children begin to explore the water while building trust and confidence with the security of their parent right beside them. Parents learn how to safely support their child in the water, introduce basic skills like blowing bubbles and floating, and practice safe entries, exits, and water awareness. This is less about ?learning to swim? and more about creating a positive, joyful relationship with the water from the very beginning. Perfect for children ages ~6 months to 3 years (adjust based on your program).
