Introducing your baby to a love of water is one of the best things you can do for them, and bath time is a great place to start. Keep it fun, and go at their pace, encouraging them to kick, splash and play.
Before your first trip to a pool, check the water temperature – it should be at least 30°C for a baby older than 12 weeks (or heavier than 12lbs), and above 32°C if they’re younger or smaller.
When you get in the water, smile and talk to your baby – let them see in your face that it’s all really good fun!
Get your shoulders under the water so you’re at the same eye-level as your baby, and hold them facing you with the water covering their chests so they keep warm.
Babies tire easily in the water, so keep your first visit to around 20-30 minutes.
You’ll probably find that your baby is pretty hungry after their swim, so be prepared to give them a good feed.
Then look forward to them having a nice long nap on the way home!

This is a question that many parents ask even when they are introducing their 3 month old to the water, it’s the reason why so many parents put swimming lessons high up in their priority of children’s activities.
Swimming is about balance, core strength and coordination to stay afloat and move seamlessly through the water, and this comes as children grow and build those skills. We have all seen videos of babies swimming but they are mostly being propelled through the water with a little push and their movement is natural and uninstructed. As children grow up they can be further taught how to move their bodies and build their swimming style once they are able to understand more about the “how to” but as babies, how do we prepare them for a lifetime of swimming.
What we do in baby swimming classes is to support a child’s development from the beginning, the activities that we do are linked to physical and sensory development. The aim is to ensure that as the child grows we can help parents to show them how to support this development in the water (and on land!). And the most important part for any parent is to have fun with your child in the water, a child that does not have water confidence won’t even want to get in the water so jump in, smile and laugh, throw them in the air, be patient, they are all different and will find their love for swimming through their love for you.
Baby Squids is all about nurturing children’s natural love of the water!
Laura was inspired by her son’s hesitation in swimming lessons and after being made redundant on maternity leave decided she could do better. 8 years later the business is well established across the south of England. We relish the opportunity to teach parents and children how to enjoy swimming in a calm, quiet and enjoyable environment, this gave us the vision to start a franchise model to increase what we were doing whilst continuing to offer the same great lessons.

It is never too soon to enjoy the many benefits of baby swimming giving your baby a skill for life while enjoying some special one to one time with your baby.
Babies are born with a natural dive reflex action which means they are already fully equipped to go underwater. As well as equipping your baby with key life saving skills baby swimming helps to build your baby’s heart and lung capacity and develop their cognitive skills. It is also a great way to enjoy the benefits of skin to skin contact with your baby which can help to regulate your baby’s heart rate and breathing and help them feel secure.
Our focus is to teach babies and toddlers key water safety techniques in a fun and nurturing environment. Our progressive courses use lots of songs and games to help build your baby’s confidence and abilities in the water. All of our classes take place in lovely private warm water pools and we like to keep classes small to create a calm and relaxing environment for both parent and baby.
Don’t worry if you are not confident in the water yourself, our classes take place in shallow warm water pools. Before choosing a course think about your baby’s feed and nap times, a tired or hungry baby won’t enjoy their class. Also make sure you give yourself plenty of time to get to your class and get changed, it’s amazing how much longer everything takes with a baby. If you miss a class we offer 2 free make up classes each term.
Why not take the plunge a book a course today! For more information and course details check our website: www.littledippers.co.uk
Babies have a natural ability for swimming, being born with reflex actions. Healthy babies are born with extremely sophisticated natural reflexes that protect them from any harm and are very important to promote their survival. Introducing your baby to water from an early age is a vital opportunity to develop these reflexes to turn them into deliberate actions that become a life skill. The best way to do this is by joining structured baby swim classes such as London Baby Swim.
London Baby Swim teach key life saving skills from an early age, with many of our babies being able to swim by as young as 2 years old. These children have a much greater regard for water and are safer around it and introducing your baby to the water at a young age avoids the trauma experienced by children who are introduced at a much older age and avoids them becoming phobic of water.
Whilst water safety is vital and an invaluable skill to learn, there are so many other positive aspects to swimming too. Being in the water allows your baby to move independently much sooner than on land which starts to give them confidence and self-esteem. It can be very empowering as they explore their watery environment and boost their sense of freedom.
Swimming together can start during bath time. It is a perfect time to be comfortable together in a warm, familiar and controlled environment. Perhaps venture into the bath with them. Having skin on skin time enables your baby to naturally experience different movements in the water. Singing songs and having fun using toys are a great way to enhance your child’s bath time routine and get them comfortable in the water. When you are ready to move to the next level, find a warm swimming pool which offers plenty of room for you and your curious baby to explore, in your arms, the magical natural wonders of water together.

My top tip would be to SMILE! Enter a nice warm pool, relax and BREATHE! Explore the sounds, sights and smells.. blow bubbles, make little splashes and BIG splashes.. play! Jump in! Float! Look and listen for fishes!
In the early years it is all about the bonding, the skin-to-skin contact and quality time together. You will create special memories that you treasure forever. From the trust gained within the water from your activities the swimming skills will progress before your very eyes and the more confidence you can instil in them the safer they will become in the water as the water safety skills are the MOST important and the swimming will follow!
Join your local baby – preschool swimming lessons and the teachers will guide you through water confidence and safety and before you know it they are off swimming and exploring!
Rainbow Aquatics was born in 2018 however Jenny has been an in the water teacher since 2016. The motto is educational, fun, explorational and safety.
She has always enjoyed the water and can often be found near a beach, pool, lake or hot tub. From taking her first to baby swimming lessons at 10 weeks old she saw something she really wanted to do! From teaching with the company that grew her passion and children’s love of water to starting her own business in Wiltshire & Somerset.
With a varied career so far this is one of the most rewarding jobs ever! Seeing the children’s (and parents) confidence growing and them achieving such an important life skill is the best feeling ever. I love teaching baby – preschool lessons as well as helping any swimmer with water confidence as everyone should feel comfortable in the water!

It has always been our goal to teach as many people as possible to swim beautifully; it’s in our DNA and it’s what we love to do.
Our baby lessons start from 3 months old, all the way up to 2 years old. The baby classes are taught in groups of 6 to 12 and are a great way of helping babies develop in numerous ways that are backed up by scientific evidence. From 2 years old, our students are enrolled on our Children’s Programme which is Semi-Private and Private lessons, allowing children to accelerate in learning to swim the Swimming Nature way.
Our Class ratios work so well as they enable students to encourage one another and progress a lot faster than if they were to take group lessons. Our unique methodology includes a hands-on approach meaning that the instructor is in the water with our students, showing students exactly how to conduct each swimming stroke. We have had the privilege of teaching Olympic Gold Medallist Tom Dean how to swim when he was a young child.
