babies and toddlers

Our Babies and Toddlers Program is designed for children aged 3 months to 3 years and is the essential first step in their learn-to-swim journey.

Built on a structured Swim Australia framework, our program goes beyond traditional instruction by incorporating child-led learning, fun exploration, and neurofunctional movement to support each child’s natural development in the water.

What makes our program unique is our co-teaching approach – parents and caregivers actively participate in every lesson, working alongside our instructors in a beautiful, bespoke pool environment.

With small group sizes, we create a calm and supportive space where children can develop water safety, build confidence, and enhance coordination from the very beginning.

This isn’t just about water familiarity, it’s about laying the right foundations through a progressive curriculum that evolves with your child. We focus on creating a clear succession plan, ensuring every child transitions seamlessly into our Learn to Swim program and continues their journey with confidence and capability.

Classes will begin on time to respect others in the group and any commitments that follow. However, you are always welcome to join the session wherever the class is up to upon your arrival.

We understand that transitions with little ones can be challenging, and some days are simply harder than others. Late arrivals are welcomed without judgment. Rushing children can create additional stress, so we support families in arriving at a pace that feels right for them.
