Otter Baby 3
24 months+ (advanced skills, invitation only)
After completing the Otter Baby 1 or Otter Baby 2 programs, your child is eligible to participate in this toddler swimming class, available by invitation only.
At this stage, more advanced skills and techniques are taught with a focus on expanding breath control and independent swimming and safety skills.
With more advanced and independent techniques comes the importance of emphasizing safety skills. Did your child thrive in his or her introduction to baby swimming classes? If so, it may be time to advance to this level.
