Babies & Toddlers

Sick of feeling like one of the crowd? want the personal touch, great tuition in a small, warm, clean and friendly environment?

Babies:

These lessons are conducted in a format offered nowhere else in Mandurah. Beginning from 4 months, infants and toddlers are taught survival skills that are essential for water safety. These survival skills are slowly introduced to ensure your child has a fun and stimulating water experience. The use of song helps us teach babies essential skills such as floating, turning back to touch grab the edge, 'falling in'', kicking and breath control. A maximum of 8 children per class with classes all matched for age and ability.

toddlers:

Toddlers, 3 years+ participate in the class without a parent, under the direct instruction of one of our trained Toddler Swimming Instructors. These little swimmers enter our Learn to Swim program where the focus moved from water confidence, to independence/safety and then onto competitive stroke development. By the completion of the last Learn to Swim level all swimmers will have mastered Freestyle, Breaststroke, Backstroke and Butterfly kick.

PARENTS ROLE

You, the parent, are the child's most important teacher. In Parent and Baby classes you are in the water with your child, guiding them through games and skills with the help of the experienced instructor. Allow your hands to feel like the water, instilling confidence and trust.

Once your child is in the Learn to Swim program it equally important to instil confidence and trust. Even with you out of the water this can be achieved by celebrating each progression your child makes, actively watching the class for safety and encouragement.
