In water, your baby experiences buoyancy, gentle resistance and new body positions — which supports early body awareness and calmness. This is why baby swimming is not about strokes. It is about helping your baby feel safe in water while building a foundation for future learning. The same applies as your baby grows into toddlerhood — the water adaptation, floating awareness and gentle movement patterns below continue to apply right through the full 6-42 month age range, building on your toddler’s more developed coordination.

Babies may not understand words, but they learn through 

Three Baby Swimming Levels, Matched to Your Baby’s Age

Our baby swimming class is not one big mixed group. It runs in three levels, and your baby moves up by age — not by passing a test — so the activities always match what their body can actually do. Level 1, Water Discovery (6–12 months): supported play that builds water confidence, breath control, basic floating and safe entry and exit with you. Level 2, Water Independence (13–24 months): floating, rotation, kicking, paddling and controlled submersion, plus learning to recover and hold the wall. Level 3, Early Self-Rescue (25–42 months): independent floating, rotation, breathing and safe exits, practised as short survival sequences before your child moves on to our kiddie class.

Every class is 30 minutes with one parent in the water, in a pool heated to 32°C — the temperature infants need to stay relaxed rather than tense. A Head Coach supervises every session, and progress at each level is recorded through video-based assessments, so you see the change in your baby rather than take our word for it.
