Baby and Me

Bond with Your Child in a Fun Water Environment

Presented by Alameda Recreation and Park Department

Government-Organized

Officially recognized by the local government

A water introductory group class for infants and toddlers age 6 months to 3 years. Children are accompanied into the water with a parent or guardian, and the class offers a great opportunity for bonding with your child in a fun and stimulating environment. Classes run for 30 minutes. The purpose of this class is to familiarize children with the water and teach swimming readiness skills.Creative games are used to teach infants breath control, big arm movements, and leg kicks. Children are introduced to the repetitive movements that become skill building blocks. While focusing on comfort and relaxing in a water environment, guardians are encouraged to challenge each child’s skill level. Using songs, floating mats, and toys, the classes are structured to help engage your child and, most importantly, encourage fun!*ARPD Aquatics Policies and Procedures* Thank you for registering with ARPD Aquatics!
