Product Information

Be prepared to respond if your little one’s in trouble in the water. It’s a good idea for you to learn CPR and rescue techniques. Classes are available through the American Red Cross and the American Heart Association. Your local fire department and other community organizations may also offer first-aid classes. However, your baby can go swimming at any time from birth, although most baby swimming classes start at six weeks. If you’re keen for your baby to be introduced to swimming before he’s six weeks old, your partner or someone else can take him.

I have never really come across an adult and child lesson that takes place in water deeper than standing depth, so you’re not having to tread water and deal with the baby at the same time. Make friends with other parents-to-be and new parents in your local area for support and friendship by seeing what NCT activities are happening nearby. You see how much progression children can make in such a short period of time. They start not wanting to even get their hair wet, but then they’re swimming a width of the pool, jumping in or splashing their parents.These lessons last approximately 30 minutes. However, sometimes your baby or toddler may not be happy to participate in the whole lesson. Don’t panic, this is not unusual and can be down to a change in routine, being unsettled or ‘grizzly’ or just having an ‘off’ day.

No baby is going to enjoy the experience if they’re waterlogged in their standard nappy. Most pools wouldn’t allow them in wearing those anyway. Unlike other mother and baby swimming sessions, at Better, any guardian/carer for the child is welcome to attend the lesson.

Enrolling your little one in swimming lessons once he’s old enough can give your child lifelong skills and confidence in the water. Even in your baby’s first year, you can consider water play classes to familiarize your baby with water and to set the stage for learning to swim. Calling us costs the same as any local call, however, if you have free 'inclusive' minutes on a landline or mobile, it will be included in those. About

Make sure you have everything you need before you leave the house. For example, towels and nappies (swim and regular). Some parents also get their own swimming costume on under their clothes too. But note: do not forget to take your own underwear. Many a parent has been there, doing the dash home without the underwear. Get yourself changed first Even though it is safe for your baby to got into the water at any age, even you should wait to go in the pool until you’ve been cleared by your doctor or midwife to avoid getting an infection post birth (usually about 6 weeks, or until 7 days after vaginal bleeding stops). If you had a water birth, technically speaking your baby has already been in a pool. Of course, that’s not what we are discussing; but the fact remains that your baby can go into water at any age if the surrounding conditions are given your cautioned attention. At the end of class, your teacher may give you tasks to complete during bath time at home to increase water confidence or enhance skills through repetition. Once your baby is confident in the pool, your teacher may encourage your baby to try swimming under water.Baby swim teachers aim to make their sessions relaxed and fun, and to encourage learning through play. Young babies are born able to do primitive swimming strokes. Your teacher will build on these natural reflexes until your little one is completely happy moving in and through the water. There are many organisations that run classes just for babies. They can be a bit pricey but they’re held in warm pools. See what's running in your local area or ask other parents for recommendations. There are lots of things you can do to make swimming fun for your baby and help boost his confidence in the water: Keep the dressing gown or poncho at the poolside. That means you can peel off their top layer as soon as you get out of the water. They’ll be happy and warm in their poncho or gown with their swim nappy underneath for five minutes until you’re sorted. Try to time it well
