Waterbabies Aquatic Program Information

Waterbabies offers learn-to-swim programs for infants through adults. We use a gentle, loving, child-centered approach to teach basic swimming skills such as submersion, back floating, kicking, reaching, and breath control. Our youth classes and swim team prep are taught with our core values applied to more advance techniques. Waterbabies has taught thousands of children to swim and be safer in and around the water. Established in 1997, the Waterbabies name and reputation have a strong, positive presence in the community because of the quality and longevity of our program. Our Director, Vera Garibaldi, has trained with world leaders in the field of Infant Aquatics. We empower parents to partner with us in the aquatic education of their child, supporting parent-child bonding and attachment. Our curriculum is based on years of research that continues to be updated. We use developmentally appropriate songs, games, and teaching techniques. Consistent with our commitment to excellence, our team is knowledgeable, responsible, dependable, and consistent. Instructors must complete over 80 hours of intensive shadowing, co-teaching, classroom, and in-pool training. With low instructor-to-child ratios, you can expect quality one-on-one teaching time.
