The Kids Gym is a special gym for children ages 3-7. Kids may play with a variety of mats, steps, and toys designed especially for them. The Kid's Gym will be supervised by a staff each day so parents may drop off their kids while they use the facility. During non-supervised times, families may use the gym together.
Cost: $10.00 per child, per month, $25 maximum per family.
Gym & Swim is one of our most popular programs for pre-schoolers. Our morning adventure begins with a short story and talk time, followed by gym and pool activities. Gym activities promote your child's small and large motor skills, coordination, balance, social interaction and listening skills. The swim part introduces your child to the water in a learning, yet casual environment and provides opportunity for beginners as well as experienced swimmers. Gym & Swim is held from 9:15-10:30 am. Parents may choose from a Tuesday/Thursday class or a Wednesday/Friday class. Registration is required.
