PRO Babies

PRO Babies are our youngest and bravest swimmers, who have typically already completed our Swim Babies class. They’re ready for more independence and a little time in the water without mom or dad.

If your child is between 16-30 months and has already had formal lessons, PRO Babies is the level for you. PRO Babies learn the following: 

  • Parent Trust
    Child is maturing through their separation anxiety and learning to trust that their parent will return at the end of class.
  • Teacher Trust
    Child is learning to respond well to the Professor while building a bond to help the progress in the water.
  • Social Skills
    Child is either watching or interacting with other children for the benefits of a socialized learning environment. This helps with cue recognition, sharing, and teacher interaction.
  • Water Comfort
    Child is comfortable being completely wet. This includes having water sprinkled over the face or being gently splashed.
  • Stationary Back Float
    Child is learning to float comfortably while being held by a Professor without moving. Stationary floating helps the child learn to position their body on top of the water and successfully float independently.

  • Independence, Confidence, and Safety
