Swimming Lessons for Babies and Toddlers
Stronger, safer swimmers start here.
Let’s start at the beginning, together. Sow the seeds for a lifetime love of swimming and essential swimming skills. Here’s what you can expect from our water familiarisation programs.
Swim & Play includes two swimming programs for babies through to toddler/kindergarten designed to teach your swimmer water familiarisation, water safety, and essential skills. Swimmers start with learning a range of skills, including kicking, floating and submerging, and progress to jumping into the pool and solo swimming.
The classes focus is for kids to feel confident in the water at a young age within a safe environment.
