Our Babies and Toddlers Program prioritises age-based progression over skill-based advancement to ensure we respect each child’s developmental readiness. By focusing on age milestones, we create a nurturing environment where babies can grow and learn at their own pace, naturally building confidence and comfort in the water. This approach recognises that each child’s journey is unique, fostering a love for swimming from the earliest stages of life.
For any new baby or toddler to our centres, we are offering a four-week free introductory program. Ready, Set, SPLASH! is a gentle introduction to swimming lessons and is perfect for both parents and babies, helping to bond and build water confidence in a safe, fun environment.
ASCTASwim Australia Submersion Guidelines
Specifically for graduates of our Babies and Toddler Program, with no more than 3 per class, this class will encourage independence without the parent in the water. 3 years is a general rule, however, your instructor will advise on your child’s individual needs.
Aqua-Nappies: our public health policy requires all babies and toddlers to wear an appropriate aqua-nappy along with a disposable swim nappy. These are available at our front desk.
Towels: bring towels for both you and your baby.
Swimmers: have swimwear for both you and your baby.
Beanies: we recommend having a beanie for your baby to wear immediately after leaving the water to keep them warm while changing.
Warm Clothes: bring warm clothes to change into after the lesson. While our water is warm and centres are heated, it can feel cold once you leave.
