Baby + Toddler Bubbles: PArent-and-child swim

Book a Session | Frequently Asked Questions

We love our littlest swimmers. Our Baby + Toddler program is one of our most popular, and for good reason: Kids and parents alike have a total blast!

In Baby + Toddler Bubbles Classes, children new to the pool learn how to feel comfortable and move their bodies in the water, exploring new surroundings in a safe, fun and supervised setting. Mom, dad or caretaker is in the pool with their child offering hands-on guidance under the direction of our instructor. It's all about building confidence and developing water-safety skills.

In Baby + Toddler Open Swim, the pool is yours! Caretakers and little ones enjoy unstructured free-play and practice time, where you can practice water and safety skills on your own. Please note instructors are not present for open swim sessions.

+ Class Rules

  • Non-potty-trained kids must wear a swim diaper to enter the pool; no exceptions.
  • There must be one parent/caregiver/adult per child enrolled in the class. Caregivers are in the water with their child and must hold their child the entire time; therefore, one adult cannot manage two (or more) children. If you have two children and only one adult who can attend class, only one child can enroll.
    • Your class fee pays for 1 parent/caregiver and 1 child to swim in this class. Spectators are allowed on deck at no extra charge. However, if an additional parent or caregiver wants to get in the water for class, you will need to pay $10 at arrival (credit card preferred). Maximum of 2 parents/child in the water.
  • Strollers/bikes are not permitted on our pool decks. In South Philly, they must be left outside on the sidewalk, so you’ll want to bring a bike lock. In Center City, there is indoor stroller parking outside of our pool deck.
