A Happy and Safe First Experience with Water
Swimming for
Toddlers & Young Children
Best for: Young children’s first introduction to swimming
This is our young friendly swimming course.
Why Start Young?
For a small child, the first goal is not to swim a long distance.
The first goal is to feel safe, relaxed and happy in water.
Our young children’s program introduces water through simple movements, games and age-appropriate exercises. Children gradually learn to trust the water and follow basic safety instructions.
What Will Children Learn?
Training may include:
- Becoming comfortable in water
- Safe pool entry and exit
- Putting the face in water
- Basic breath control
- Supported floating
- Simple kicking and movement
- Following water-safety instructions
- Gradually developing independence in water
Please note that…
A parent or guardian may be required to remain nearby or participate in the session depending on the child’s age, confidence and the pool’s rules.
Important: Learning to swim does not make a young child drown-proof. Children should always be supervised around water
