Infants & Toddlers

The Infants & Toddlers program was designed by infant aquatic specialists who are passionate about teaching babies and toddlers to swim and survive from an early age. This program will enhance your child’s enjoyment of the water and will also build their strength, coordination and motor skills.

The program caters to babies from four months to three years old. The levels are based on age as there are different motor skills that are required for each activity.

The program is fun for babies and toddlers and teaches your little one a skill that may save their life one day as well as build their overall development.

Studies have shown that children who have an early introduction to water are ahead of their peers in vital swimming skills as well as physical and brain development.
