Infant Swim Lessons

A child will grow more at ease and independent the sooner they learn the independence of buoyancy and underwater swimming.

 

There are more than 70 neonatal reflexes present at birth. They are capable of responding to stimuli with motor actions. Babies need sufficient direction to learn new voluntary movement patterns in order to explore the water in a safe and enjoyable setting since most newborn reflexes wane over the first six months. Babies may exercise while swimming, which promotes the development of their balance, coordination, lung capacity, and motor skills. According to research, early exposure to swimming aids the infant in developing a feeling of self-worth, confidence, and independence. Additionally, it aids in the development of reading and numeracy.

 

Our water programme is intended for infants between the ages of 4 months and 2 years. Babies will learn how to enter the water securely, hold their breath while submerged, push themselves to the pool's edge, and then safely exit the water.

​

According to research, kids who swim at a very young age:

A fantastic approach to promote emotional, social, and physical growth.

- Boost the heart and lungs' performance.

- Precious time spent connecting with parents.

- Better verbal and written communication, literacy, numeracy, and mathematical thinking compared to the general population

 

* Research done by Griffith University, Australia on 7000 babies.

 

In order to accommodate each child's preferred learning method, our swimming lessons are kept brief. In order to help your children feel more at ease, less odd, and less anxious about being apart from you, parents are urged to join in and help with the classes. Thus, kids will be able to adjust to the new swimming environment and our teachers much more rapidly!

2. Breath Control - Hold your breath when instructed to be ready to dive.

3. Immersion - Boldly and securely explore the ocean floor.

4. Discover buoyancy and the freedom of floating alone with free floating.

5. Proper kicking and paddling technique is essential for propulsion through the water.

6. Independent Swimming - The capacity to switch between breaths to swim further.
