these classes often teach water safety, mostly for the parents, which is important. my daughter has been in swim lessons since just before 2 yo and if she fell in the water and was within a couple of feet of the side of a pool she could swim, grab the side and pull herself out. i think the safety aspect of toddler swim lessons should not be discounted.

we just moved from new mexico and my 2 yo daughter loves to swim. she's had lessons for a while and i'm looking for a place that offers lessons to 2 and 3 yo that are beyond the typical water adjustment beginner classes. i live in gaithersburg but i'm willing to travel for good lessons. thank you!
