Swimming Classes for Children in Boston: Start Them Early!

As a parent, you always want your child to be safe, especially in the water! At British Swim School Greater Boston, we have special swimming classes for children that help them become comfortable and safe in the water starting as early as 3 months old. Join us for a class and see why families in Boston and the surrounding MA communities — including Stoneham, Bedford, Lexington, Framingham, Marlborough, and Waltham — turn to us to teach their kids water safety!

Making Water Acclimation and Safety Fun

Starting your kids in swimming lessons at a very early age allows water safety skills to become second nature. It all starts with becoming acclimated to the water. Our water acclimation class is called the Tadpole program. This is a parent-assisted class for ages 3-36 months. Our instructors will lead you and your child through exercises that will introduce them to the water for the first time.

As your child becomes comfortable in the water, we will begin to work towards some techniques. The goals of our Tadpole program are reduced fear in the water, assisted back floating, full gentle submersion, and independent water exploration. We always make water acclimation and safety fun! You can expect to sing, splash, and smile with your child while in the water.

It’s never too early to get your child comfortable with water. Once they become self-sufficient and learn how to swim, you will have peace of mind every time you go to the pool or beach. Swimming is a lifelong skill that can be beneficial for fitness, fun, and survival. Through repetition and practice, your child will be able to stay afloat and safe in the water.

Get Started with Our Swimming Classes for Children in Boston

We hope you’ll get your children started with our fun water safety classes! After they have mastered the Tadpole techniques, they can move up to our Swimboree, Seahorse, Starfish, Minnow, Turtle, and Shark courses. Each level features age-appropriate and skill-oriented exercises led by our talented instructors.

Each class is small in size, ranging between 4-6 kids each. We understand that each child needs individual instruction and attention, which is why we keep our classes so small. Our programs also take place in an indoor heated pool, so your child can practice water safety year-round!
