Swim Otters Central Park

Our Swim Otters program is an exclusive proven method of teaching infants, toddlers, and young children essential techniques in the water. They learn how to roll over to an independent back float then calmly stop, rest and breathe, and think about what just happened. Once they are composed, they are instructed to flip over to swim to safety, such as the wall, a parent’s hands, the stairs, etc.

​

Swimmers also learn several other survival techniques such as: swimming with their eyes open underwater; swimming back to the stairs; jumping in, floating, and then getting back to the wall. Rather than relying on exclusive adult supervision, it is extremely important for children to learn how to stay calm and know what to do in the event of an aquatic incident.
​
For swimmers walking to age 7, we offer session-based group and private lessons at Moorhead Recreation Center in Central Park. If your child is under 18 months, our Baby & Me program is the best fit for you!
