🐳 Water Tots is a class that we offer for our 3-4 year olds. You will notice on the site that there is only one class of this for each morning session with only 8 spots for each. One thing many people don’t know is that our Water Tots class is not actually a required Red Cross Class*. It is a class we offer as a bonus and is optional. Red Cross classes don’t actually start until Level 1 at age 5. So if you don’t get a spot in Water Tots, don’t panic! Your child can still enter our swimming lesson program when they are 5 years old for Level 1.

Water Tots is a bonus class that helps children get comfortable in the water at a younger age. If you don’t get a spot in the class, we also offer a Parent/Child class that works on the same concepts and songs, but the parents get in the water. If you don’t get a spot in Water Tots but want your child to be ready for Level 1, we recommend a couple things:
* Bring your child swimming! Come to the pool a few times during the summer so they get used to the water.
* Get in the pool with your children! Show them how to get their chin wet, mouth wet, nose wet, ears wet, hair wet, put their face in the water, etc. If you demonstrate it and have fun, they will know it’s fun and safe.
* Water exposure all summer is more beneficial than a week of Water Tots.
* Swimmers are not behind if they don’t start in Water Tots. Again, Level 1 is our first official Red Cross Level that we offer at age 5.

*We are a certified Red Cross Learn-To-Swim swimming pool with certified Red Cross Water Safety Instructors, so we must follow their guidelines.

🐠 Tips for a Smooth Registration
Tip #1 - When you are registering your child/children for swimming lessons, make sure the name of the child you are registering appears at the top of the page. Click the pictures below to learn how to do this.

Tip #2 - As you are registering your child for swimming lessons, remember to use the drop down option to choose the correct time for your child. At the time of registration, if you choose the wrong time, you will need to go back and register for the correct time, and we will issue you a refund for the incorrect time.

🐳 We are a couple weeks from our Spring Registration 2026 happening on Thursday, April 2, 2026 at 12:00 PM. Here’s a tip to help with a smooth registration.

Under your account at https://plainviewmn.myrec.com/info/default.aspx, make sure you are able to:

✅ Log in and know your password. We are able to reset it. If you call us on the day of registration wanting us to reset it, it does take some time, so try to do this step before-hand to ease frustration on your end.

✅ Have all of your household members listed and their birthdates entered before the registration date. Certain classes are for certain ages, so if your child is too young or too old, it won’t let you sign up. We ask you to PLEASE be honest with your child’s age and don’t change the birthdate on MyRec to sign up for a specific level. The Red Cross places certain age requirements for certain levels (Level 1 starts at age 5), and as a Red Cross Facility, we need to adhere to those requirements.

Water Tots - ages 3-4
Level 1 - must be at least 5 years old. This is a Red Cross Requirement and we must follow the requirement since we are under the American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim Program.
Level 2 - recommended to ages 6 and older.

***If you created your account in years’ past and did this step, you are good to go!
