Why Start This Early?

The Benefits of an
Early Introduction.

Those first months in the water shape how your child feels about it for life, building comfort, awareness, and a head start that lasts.

Water Safety

Early exposure builds natural water awareness and reduces fear, a critical foundation for staying safe around water.

Development

Water activity supports motor skills, coordination, and sensory development at a crucial stage of growth.

Head Start

Children who start early transition to independent swimming faster when they're ready for the Kids program.

Questions

Good to Know

Either parent can join, mom, dad, or a caregiver. What matters is consistency. The same person attending each week helps your baby feel secure and builds on what they've learned.
Completely normal, especially in the first few sessions. Our coaches are experienced in helping babies adjust. Most settle within a few classes as they become familiar with the environment and routine.
A swim diaper (required), swimwear for both you and baby, a towel, and a warm layer for after. We recommend arriving 10–15 minutes early to get changed and settled.
Yes. Infant sessions are held in a heated pool with a water temperature suitable for babies. Sessions are kept to 30 minutes to ensure your little one stays comfortable.
No. The water is shallow enough for you to stand comfortably. You'll be holding your baby throughout, and the coach will guide you through every activity.
At around age 2–3, children are ready to transition to our Kids program, where they'll start building independent swimming skills. The foundation from the Infants program makes this transition much smoother.
