Edmonton, AB
Did you know babies adapt to water more quickly than older children? The earlier they spend time in the pool, the better. The most important reason to consider baby swimming lessons in Edmonton is safety. But they’re also a great way for families to spend time together—bonding and getting your child comfortable in the water.
When can babies learn to swim? The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends swimming lessons around age 1, but many children are ready to get started sooner. Even the youngest of children can learn to kick and paddle to a pool’s edge or turn onto their back to float. Every extra second can make a life-saving difference in a water-based emergency.
British Swim School offers swimming lessons as early as three months of age. While it may be too early to teach babies the core swimming strokes, our acclimation program is the perfect introduction to swimming and water safety.
Our Approach to Baby Swimming Lessons in Edmonton
British Swim School is a local favorite for baby swimming lessons. Our educational and fun-filled programs start at 3-months old and focus on comfortability, water safety, and swimming readiness. Your child will learn foundational skills that are used throughout our entire swim program.
For our youngest students, a caregiver accompanies their child in the water. You’ll actively take part as we sing and play games, providing a parent-child bonding experience you’ll cherish for years to come. You’ll also learn about water safety and how to protect your child around the water—a true win-win for parents. As children progress, the instructors will become more hands-on to build independence and help transition into our water survival and stroke development programs.
Some of the skills you can expect to learn include:
- Acclimation to the water and overcoming initial fears
- Foundational water survival and swim readiness skills
- Independence from the parent or caregiver
- And so much more!
