In nine weeks your baby will learn to swim a short
distance from you to the instructor.
The Diving Reflex
Babies are born with the 'diving reflex', which means that
when their heads are fully submerged they breath hold.
This ability is intrinsic to our teaching program. Babies lose
the diving reflex somewhere between 12 and 18 months.
The babies
will learn to support themselves by holding
on to the pool rail. Eventually they will swim
independently, underwater to the side of the pool and
hold on, with their heads above the surface of the
water.
If your baby can sit, we will teach him/her to dive in
from a seated position, and resurface.
The classes teach lifesaving
skills and are great
fun for both parent and baby.
If your child continues through
the whole program, he/she will eventually swim on top of the
water.
