 The
first half of the SKIPPERS Program, otherwise noted as “SKIP”,
is a parent/child water acclimation course focusing on providing
a positive parent-child experience while learning water safety
and beginning swimming skills through games and songs. This program
is grouped by age, not ability, and independent growth is highly
encouraged and supported. A parent or guardian must accompany the
child in the water. |
