Swim Lessons PARENT TOT + PRESCHOOL
The goal of Washtenaw County Parks & Recreation Parent Tot and Preschool Lessons are to get toddlers and preschoolers comfortable in the water. These instructor-led classes help provide a solid foundation for swimming skills that will last a life-time. Comfortability in the water is our top priority as it ensures your child will learn how to be safe in the water. As they progress and graduate each level, they are introduced to new skills that our instructors continue to build upon through Level 5.
