The Flash Pass can and does sell out on high traffic days. Buying it online is a good idea.

As my screen name suggests, I was a lifeguard for 10 years, a swimming teacher for 13 years, and a swimming coach for 2 years. Infants are natural swimmers, and I myself taught an infant class. Infants should be taught with parents, guardians, or siblings at all times. This class usually included all children from 6 months to 3 years of age. At 3, the children, usually reluctantly were allowed to have private lessons in our less than 3 foot "baby pool" most times kids were afriad to do anything and sat on the side. At 4, they advanced to the 3 foot and started their real swiming skills. Swimmers were not allowed to go to the deep end until they had swum across the pool. The was usually when they were seven or eight and even then, most were not really ready for a wave pool. What is really all comes down to is that parents have to be responsible for their kids and say no when it is needed.
