Parent and Me Swim
Garden City Recreation have teamed up with Grateful Kid Clubs for a fun and engaging 6-session Parent & Me Swim program exclusively for Garden City Community Park Pool members! This interactive class is designed for children ages 1–3 years and their caregiver to build water confidence, learn foundational swim skills, and enjoy quality bonding time together. Through songs, games, and age-appropriate activities, little ones will become more comfortable in the water while parents learn safe and effective ways to support their child’s aquatic development. Come make lasting memories, build confidence, and have fun making a splash together!
Please note: This program is open exclusively to current Garden City Community Park Pool members. Thursdays @ 11:10am starting July 9th. Limited spaces available!
