🐠 Tot Time Tuesday and Thursday! 🐠

Tot Time is back for a 3rd summer! And once again, a HUGE THANK YOU to High Plains Cooperative for sponsoring this summer and making it FREE for Tots!

• What is it? It’s a time in the morning for young children to come to the pool for a quieter environment. The deep end (board and rock wall) will be closed during this time. You are welcome to use the zero depth, plunge pool, and 3-5 foot area including the blue slide. Same rules apply as open swim.

• Who? Any child 5 and under that come with a parent/grandparent/caregiver

• When? Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:00 am - 12:00 pm any week when there are no Morning Swimming Lessons (dates are June 16, 18, 30, July 2, 14, 16, 28, 30, August 4, 6, 11, 13, 18, 20)

• Cost? Sponsored by High Plains, so fees are covered! Family/Single Memberships can be used.

***Please be honest about your child’s age. We want to continue this event, but if we have older children come, we will cancel Tot Time. We appreciate your honesty!

🐳 Water Tots is a class that we offer for our 3-4 year olds. You will notice on the site that there is only one class of this for each morning session with only 8 spots for each. One thing many people don’t know is that our Water Tots class is not actually a required Red Cross Class*. It is a class we offer as a bonus and is optional. Red Cross classes don’t actually start until Level 1 at age 5. So if you don’t get a spot in Water Tots, don’t panic! Your child can still enter our swimming lesson program when they are 5 years old for Level 1.

Water Tots is a bonus class that helps children get comfortable in the water at a younger age. If you don’t get a spot in the class, we also offer a Parent/Child class that works on the same concepts and songs, but the parents get in the water. If you don’t get a spot in Water Tots but want your child to be ready for Level 1, we recommend a couple things:
* Bring your child swimming! Come to the pool a few times during the summer so they get used to the water.
* Get in the pool with your children! Show them how to get their chin wet, mouth wet, nose wet, ears wet, hair wet, put their face in the water, etc. If you demonstrate it and have fun, they will know it’s fun and safe.
* Water exposure all summer is more beneficial than a week of Water Tots.
* Swimmers are not behind if they don’t start in Water Tots. Again, Level 1 is our first official Red Cross Level that we offer at age 5.

*We are a certified Red Cross Learn-To-Swim swimming pool with certified Red Cross Water Safety Instructors, so we must follow their guidelines.
