Teaching your baby how to swim is an essential life skill and the confidence your little one gains in water through swimming lessons is priceless, not mentioning seeing your baby enjoying the serenity in water. Learning how to swim should be the one of the first skills taught to any baby. At Smile Swimmers, we have a specialised baby swimming lessons customised for infants aged between 3 to 12 months old.
Once your child completed our swimming programme for babies, parents may wish to enrol their child in our toddler swimming lessons. This helps to keep your child active with a weekly swimming class, at the same time learn some advanced swimming strokes to further improves their swimming techniques. For our toddler swimming programme, we will gradually progress them according to their swimming performance and techniques, to keep them challenged and continue to improve.
For our toddler swimming class, parents are also encouraged to join in the fun with their little ones. This will help your little ones to quickly gain water confidence. Toddlers who have been in our baby swimming lessons before will probably be more confident and ready for advanced swimming techniques and strokes. At this age, they will be able to listen to instructions and perform better, learn how to swim a further distance.
30 minutes per lesson
For babies aged between 3 to 12 months old
$300 for 12 lessons, excluding a one-time registration fee of $40.
Each child will receive a complimentary SmileSwimmers’ Starter Kit that contains a swim cap, goggles board, and smileswimmers bag to kickstart one of the milestones in their life.
Every child is born a natural swimmer and often without fear of water, like a “fish in water”. Learning how to swim not just keep your little ones safe, it also strengthens them both physically and mentally.
During the lesson, parents are encouraged to participate together as it is an excellent opportunity for you to bond and observe your child develop their love of floating in a weightless, calm and safe environment.
When you introduced your child to activities like swimming at an early age, it helps your little one to eliminate any possible fear of water, instil confidence and develop a sense of independence in them.
