Benefits of baby & toddler swimming…

From as young as 3 months we introduce babies into the water. Our focus is to develop a positive relationship with caregiver and your baby by being in the water from the very beginning; through the use of nursery rhymes, toys and submersions.

During the first year babies change dramatically in the five areas of development: physical, cognitive, emotional and social, language, and sensory and motor skills. When you sign up for swimming lessons with us, we will cover lots of skills that help develop each aspect of the 5 important development areas, as well as creating long-lasting positive memories in the water.

• Provides quality time between caregivers and babies

• Swimming helps to improve coordination and balance. 

• Swimming may improve water confidence

• Helps to build muscle

• Improves sleeping patterns

• Improves appetite

It is important to get toddlers in swimming lessons as soon as possible, because at this age as they are finding out who they are as individuals, what limits they can push and learning so much new information on a daily basis. Water safety is our number 1 priority when it comes to toddler swimming lesson - this will be taught by: understanding when they are allowed to get in the pool, how to enter and exit, how to hold their breath, what it feels like being underwater as well as many more key swimming points.
