Red Cross Parent & Tot Swim 4-36mths

The Red Cross Parent and Tot program is designed for infants/toddlers and their parents to learn aquatic skills and safety supervision tactics through structured play, songs and activities in a fun, safe environment. Children move through levels based on age.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and physical distancing guidelines set by the Provincial Health Officer, we have made changes to the Red Cross Parent and Tot Swim Lessons. We are limiting the registration to four tots for each class with their parents, and parents will be instructed by a Water Safety Instructor trained to encourage physical distancing during the class.
