Baby & Toddler Swim Lessons in Roslyn: Parent & Tot and Next Steps
Updated: Oct 10
Baby and toddler swim lessons at Swim Lessons LI begin with a shared learning experience. Parent & Tot is for children ages 6 to 36 months with one capable adult participating in the water. Classes take place at the indoor Aqua Dome at Pierce Country Day Camp, 37 Mineola Avenue, Roslyn, NY 11576.
What the early class is designed to do
The instructor guides adult-and-child pairs through playful routines, supported floating and movement, and wall and exit activities. Adults learn supportive positions and consistent cues alongside the child. The goal is a positive introduction and useful foundational habits, with activities introduced gradually rather than by forcing a child through an unfamiliar task.
What it does not establish
A baby's participation in a class does not establish that they can be safe alone around water. Supported movement is different from independent ability. Continue close adult supervision and appropriate layers of protection outside the lesson. This guide does not promise an individual reduction in drowning risk or a specific timeline for independent swimming.
Think about the next format before age three
Group Level 1 begins at age three, but the transition also involves readiness. A child needs to participate without their adult in the water, follow simple directions and wait briefly for another swimmer's turn. If those expectations feel uncertain, contact us to discuss an appropriate starting option. Private instruction is also available when an individual pace is useful.
Prepare for a shared Roslyn lesson
Bring swimwear and towels for the child and the participating adult. A child who is not fully toilet trained needs a properly fitting swim diaper. Check the location guide for parking and the pool entrance, and allow time to get ready before class. The adult should plan to participate throughout the lesson.
