Infant and Preschool

16 months – 4 years old

These are 2-week sessions with 10 lessons, each 15 minutes long, for swimmers aged 16 months to 4 years. For best results, we recommend two back-to-back sessions.

With our Swim School for our youngest swimmers, infants and preschoolers will learn appropriate swimming postures to allow them to swim face down in the water, rotate onto their back to a floating position that enables them to rest and breathe, then return to a face-down swimming posture. This sequence of swim-float-swim can be continued into the learn-to-swim program. This important skill will prepare your child should they accidentally fall into the water. 

Session Information

• Classes are held from May 5th to August 8th, and run Monday – Friday between 8 -10 a.m. on 20-minute intervals.

Infant and Preschool Lesson Policies

Double Diaper Policy for children under 3 ½ years

• For ages 16 months to 3 years, children MUST wear a “double diaper,” a disposable swim diaper, AND a reusable swim diaper.
• For ages 3 to 3 ½ years, children may wear the approved reusable swim diaper without the disposable. 

What is a Swim Diaper? 
Disposable Swim Diaper – A light padded pull-up diaper made specifically for swimming. Common name brands are Little Swimmers and Splashers. These diapers are for one-time use and can be purchased in the diaper aisle of many brand convenience stores.
Reusable Swim Diaper – A machine washable, elastic waist cloth diaper. A Swim America approved reusable swim diaper must have elastic banded leg holes and an elastic waist. The diaper MUST be fitted flush to the child’s skin to avoid the risk of water contamination. 
Double Diaper – Use a disposable SWIM diaper and a reusable SWIM diaper. The disposable Swim diaper goes on the child first. The reusable Swim diaper goes on completely over the other. Tuck the disposable edges into the reusable diaper with the elastic waist and leg fitted to the skin. This will avoid contamination up through the back or leg openings of the disposable SWIM diaper. 

Why does Swim America strictly enforce the Double Diaper Policy?
If a fecal accident occurs in the pool, SLAC MUST immediately evacuate and cancel classes until the pool is properly sanitized and safe from contamination. This may take 1 – 24 hours, depending on the severity per the Department of Health. The double diaper gives the most protection against accidents in the pool.  

What if my child is potty trained? 
Most accidents happen to students 3 to 3 ½ years. Only a reusable diaper is required at this age. Our priority is the health and safety of all students. 

Cancellation Policy:

• Cancellations must be made at least 12 hours in advance to reschedule without penalty. Missed lessons without prior notice will be forfeited.
• To fully unenroll from a session, please notify us at least 72 hours before the session start date. Without advance notice, only a partial refund may be issued. No refunds can be provided after the session has begun.

Late Arrival Policy:

• Sessions will start and end at the scheduled times. Late arrivals will result in a shortened lesson without any price adjustment.
