How old does my child have to be to take Beginner lessons (not Parent-Tot lessons)?
Your child is ready if he or she can comprehend simple instructions, is able to go in the water without a parent, and is physically and developmentally mature enough to perform the skills that will be introduced in class (such as make purposeful movements, turn head to the side, etc.). Generally, a child is mature enough by age 2 ½ or 3.
