We offer courses for babies from 3 to 8 months who have not been to baby swimming before
(the course is not recommended for those younger than 3 months).
You're baby is ready to swim! Just think, they were under water for 9 months in the womb so they'll be in their element in the pool!
In the case of premature birth, the date is adjusted to the child’s original due date.
In other words, 3 months from the due date.
This courses focuses on getting the babies used to being in water and to make it a positive experience for them. We show the parents how they can safely and securely hold their child in the water. Babies learn to have their faces underwater but we are careful not to rush them, but to let them learn at their own speed. Learning to be safe in water is one of the most important things a child can learn.
