A fun lesson with a serious mission for babies and toddlers ages 6
months - 3 years. With songs and games, our professional baby instructors will
work with you and your baby on basic swimming and water safety skills through
our iSwim (TM) curriculum. For
babies/toddlers ages 6 months to 3 years with their parent or other caregiver.
With their parent at their side, SwimBabies will learn the
basics of swimming including: breath control and gentle submersion, floating
independently on the front and the back and unassisted swimming for short
distances on the front and the back.
Swim
Babies classes are offered once/week for 30 minutes.
You may start at any time and lesson fees are
billed monthly.
Great Reasons to
Teach Babies to Swim:
-
Even young babies adapt to the water very naturally. Water
provides wonderful support and buoyancy for babies
who can't yet sit or stand. Babies
can learn to swim long before they can walk or even sit up!
-
While young babies cannot move around well on land, the
weightless environment of the water is a great place for babies to exercise
their young
muscles! Swimming also
improves cardiovascular fitness, a great lifelong benefit.
-
As
SwimBabies classes give babies the opportunity to learn new physical skills;
they are developing their neural network, laying the foundation for cognitive
development.
-
SwimBabies classes give babies
a great opportunity to exercise and increase their strength, which often results
in the acquisition of
other motor skills, such as standing and walking, earlier. Swimming
provides the greatest form of bilateral exercise of any sport, which aids babies
and toddlers in the development of coordination and balance.
-
The exercise babies get in
SwimBabies classes, as well as the relaxing warm water,
stimulates a baby's appetite and improve
baby's eating and sleeping patterns.
-
SwimBabies
class provides an uninterrupted, wonderful bonding time with your child.
Swimming provides babies with
lots of skin-to-skin contact with their parents which, psychologists say,
strengthens the parent-child bond.
-
A positive, early experience in the water gives babies and
toddlers a head start on the mastery of water safety skills. Our
SwimBabies often transition to more advanced SwimTots classes, as they often
have acquired some of the building blocks of swimming ~ breath control, floating,
and kicking on top of the water ~ in SwimBabies class.
-
As babies learn to achieve goals and independence in the water,
their self-confidence blossoms. Nothing speaks to our hearts more than the
happy smiles of our babies and their parents in the water! Self-confidence
and the setting and attaining of goals fosters a wonderful lifelong pattern of
learning, a great way to give your baby a head start!
