How we do it

A Swimbabies course is designed to be fun and educational at the same time. Your baby will learn to move freely in our 32-degree warm water and this promotes water confidence - an important part of water safety. As you enjoy a magical swim with your baby, you too will develop water safety and swimming skills, which could one day prevent a life-threatening situation in or near water.

The younger a baby starts swimming with us, the easier it is for us to develop their natural reflexes to dive, fall and stand. For babies of 6 months old we have local mother and toddler swim classes, which introduce babies to the water with lots of singing and surface work. Or you can take the plunge totally and learn the underwater submersion techniques that are taught in our water safety classes.

It is advisable to always check out your instructors and make sure you are at ease with them. A good rapport with the instructor can really make a difference.
