Guppies + Parents & Tots

Guppies

The Guppies program teaches children under the age of eight to become comfortable in the water. Two instructors lead a group of approximately 15-20 children through various fun games aimed at teaching the fundamentals of swimming, such as putting your head under water, blowing bubbles, floating, and swimming short distances. Elm Park Pool has a dedicated “baby end” with shallower water more suitable to young children, which is where the program takes place. Please see the weekly schedule for information on when the program is offered.

Come speak to a lifeguard at the pool during the summer and give it a try!

Parents & Tots

Parents & Tots is a program for parents looking to acclimate their children to the water at an early age (0-3 years old). Led by a member of our Lifeguard team, parents and their children will be walked through various fun songs and games that gently introduce their children to the pool environment. Developing a child’s confidence in the water as early as possible is a key component of helping them become water safe.

Speak to one of our lifeguards at the pool and try it out! See the weekly schedule for details.
