CELTS Babies & Me SwimAmerica

A progressive CELTS Swim School Program designed specifically for younger children between the ages of 0- 3yr. Broken up by age, and ability, the CELTS Babies & Me programs allow each child to progress from ‘My First Swim   Course’, to the ‘Introduction Course’, to the NEW ‘Little Fish Course’ leading right into our CELTS Swim Lessons..

My First Swim Course (1 month - 8 months)

My First Swim Course is the first CELTS Babies & Me program that introduces newborns/infants to the water in a relaxed, warm water environment. Classes are held in warmer water where the temperature is set specifically for the newborns/infants in a comfortable setting where both the guardians and the babies can relax and learn. Newborns/infants will learn the basics of floating, kicking, and water movement for lifesaving skills in the water.

Little Fish Course (9months-3yrs)

With goal of becoming independent swimmers this class will focus on both techniques learned in the previous   introduction course, as well as future techniques to be learned in the youth classes. Levels from the previous   course transfers over as each child continues to develop at their own pace. This is a stepping stone built so children can become more independent making transition into CELTS Swim Lessons easier. Classes are small and are strictly focused on the individuality of each swimmer. Guardians are not required to get in the water. Classes must  be scheduled with the Lead Instructor via email then can be set up where you pick your start date.

We offer 10 levels ranging from novice to advanced swimmers for both Youth and Adults..
