Infant Survival Swim to Growth and Development Program
Equip your child with life-saving swimming skills
Our Infant Survival Swim and Growth & Development program is designed for children ages 6 to 30 months. We’re passionate about supporting your child’s journey in aquatic skills and safety as they blossom and evolve into strong, confident swimmers.
In phase one of the program, we dive into Infant Survival Swim, a critical 5-week course that enables your child to be comfortable in the water while teaching key life-saving skills. Our experienced instructors gently introduce your child to the water, focusing on building confidence. As confidence strengthens, we gradually teach vital roll-back-to-float skills and initiate the swimming process. By dedicating our full attention to your child in a one-on-one setting, we ensure that each swimming lesson is of the highest quality and tailored to your child.
But the journey doesn’t end there. After the Infant Survival Swim stage, we move to the Growth & Development phase. As your child grows and develops, we aim to reinforce, enhance, and improve their swimming skills. We continuously fine-tune their ability, technique, and self-assurance, fostering a lifelong love for swimming.
With our Survival Swim and Growth & Development programs, your child learns, grows, and conquers their water-based journey under our trusted and careful guidance.
