THE AQUQ-SHRIMP PROGRAM (Ages 8 months to 36 months) Universal’s "Aqua-Shrimp” program for infants, toddlers, and their parents will introduce the pleasure of swimming together in our pool setting. Because infants and toddlers are not physically ready to master more advanced swimming skills, this program should not be considered a "learn to swim” class, but rather a preparation for future aquatic activities and an entry to our pre-school classes. Parental assistance and swim diapers are required.
	Aqua-Shrimp 1 (8 to 36 months) For infants and toddlers who have not yet been introduced to a pool. This fun class will help parents and their children acclimate to the water.
	Aqua-Shrimp 2 (12 to 36 months) For infants and toddlers who have either completed our Aqua shrimp I class or are comfortable in water or pool activities and are ready to expand their swimming skills.
