Our baby and toddler lessons are designed for children from 6 months to around 3 years old, with a parent or buddy in the water. Lessons are patient, nurturing and fun, giving each child time to explore and grow comfortable in the pool.

Children develop water familiarity, balance, floating, movement, breath control and water safety skills. As they become ready, these skills can lead to submersion at their own pace.

We never force a child underwater.

Our infant swimming lessons introduce children aged 6 months to around 3 years to the water through play, songs and activities with their adult buddy. In a patient and nurturing environment, children can explore at their own pace while beginning to develop water safety skills and confidence.

Lessons also support movement, coordination and strength. As children interact with others, they have opportunities to practise social skills such as taking turns and sharing. For parents and buddies, classes offer a friendly place to connect while enjoying time in the water together.

Certificate Levels: Clams, Tadpoles, Frogs, Stingrays
Group Size: Maximum 6 infants with a buddy
