Kid Fit by Age
Swim lessons typically start at age 3, so babies are too young for the program.
Some programs include very young toddlers (around 2-3 years), but this likely depends on specific class offerings and the child's readiness.
Designed for young children; ideal for developing water confidence and foundational swimming skills.
Perfect for elementary-aged kids who are building swim skills, safety awareness, and endurance.
Suitable for tweens learning or refining swim techniques, though programs may be more geared toward younger children.
May offer classes for teens, but typically focused on skill improvement in a recreational setting; availability depends on specific course offerings.
