Parent & Baby

Our Parent & Baby classes are a fun, skill-building experience designed to give your little one the best possible start in the water. With you by their side, babies and toddlers aged 6 months to 3 years develop essential water confidence, safety awareness and early swimming foundations in a warm, nurturing environment.

Research shows that early exposure to water builds lifelong swimming skills and water safety awareness. Our Parent & Baby program is specifically designed to introduce your child to the water at the most receptive stage of their development, giving them a head start that will benefit them for years to come.

What to expect

Each class is a shared experience between you and your child, guided by our qualified swim teachers. Sessions are filled with songs, games and structured activities that make learning feel like play. As your child grows in confidence, classes progressively introduce new skills including water familiarisation, breath control, floating, kicking and safe water entry and exit.

Our levels

Our Parent & Baby program is broken into three progressive levels, each tailored to your child’s age and development.

Clam

Designed for babies aged 6 months to 1 year, this class is a gentle introduction to the water for you and your little one. Held in warm, shallow water, sessions focus on water familiarisation, building confidence and strengthening the parent-child bond through song, play and movement.

Crab 

For toddlers aged 1–2 years and their caregivers, Crab classes build on early water confidence with fun, structured activities. Little ones will begin to explore floating, kicking and basic water safety in a supportive, playful environment alongside their parent or carer.

Turtle 

As toddlers grow more curious and mobile, Turtle classes channel that energy into foundational swim skills. Children aged 2–3 years will practice submersion, arm and leg movement and begin developing independence in the water.
