12 12 aquatics programs Red Cross Parent & Tot Swim Lessons The Red Cross Parent and Tot Program is designed for infants and toddlers who are accompanied in the water each lesson by one parent or one adult caregiver.

Parents/caregivers will learn how to keep their children safe in, on and around water. Children move through levels based on age. Participants must be six months old by the first class, have the ability to hold their heads up independently by the first class and wear a snug fitting swim pant under a proper bathing suit. Swim pants are available for purchase at our Reception Desk; disposable diapers are not permitted in the pools.
