What is the minimum age for a child to participate in the parent/child class?

3 months
6 months
1 year
2 years

The correct answer is: 6 months

The minimum age for a child to participate in the parent/child class is typically set at 6 months. This age is chosen because at around 6 months, infants are usually developmentally ready to engage in basic water experiences with the accompaniment of a parent or caregiver. At this age, children can start to become more aware of their surroundings and can begin to learn how to feel comfortable in the water, which lays the foundational skills necessary for future swim instruction. Additionally, this age allows for more effective interaction between the parent and child in a water environment, making lessons more engaging and beneficial.
