This is a fun obstacle idea for the Parent Tot class at Los Alamitos. I recommend that we try to do this at all the locations.  Set up the castles and the slides... even going from one wall, jumping castles, to the other wall, kicking back on kick mats - combines the skills of castle hopping and kicking in one activity.

Notice that most of these parents are having trouble with the concept of holding the child around the back as they do their "DESTINATION SWIM SUBMERSIONS." They tend to keep their arms around the front of the child, instead of around the back of the child.  They are constantly having trouble with that concept. So perhaps we can get them to understand that the way they hold the kids on the kick mat is the same way that they should be holding and assisting their kids when going from one castle to the other, from the wall to the castle, from themselves to another person.  Parents just really love looking at their babies' faces. It seems to be unnatural for them to hold the babies from the back and have them reach to their destination.  Stick with it.  They'll figure it out eventually.
