Toddler Swimming Lessons in Norfolk Promote Water Safety & Fun

Toddler swimming lessons in Norfolk are the perfect way to introduce your child to the water at an early age. Learning the basics of water survival makes children safer throughout their lives. Much like learning to crawl before they walk, toddlers can begin learning foundational skills that promote swim readiness, water safety, and a lifetime of fun.

Swimming lessons are an important layer of protection against drowning. Participation in formal swimming lessons was associated with an 88% reduction in the risk of drowning, according to a recent case-control study. This is especially important for children ages 1–4, who have the highest drowning rates. Young children may not be ready to swim on their own, but they can learn lifesaving survival skills while playing and splashing in a safe and comfortable environment. These skills include finding the water’s surface, rolling over, and floating safely until help arrives. Drowning often happens quickly and quietly, so every second matters in an emergency.

As an added benefit, parent-assisted classes can strengthen the parent-child bond through a shared activity that’s enjoyed together for years to come. You’ll have a blast exploring the wonders of the water with your child while helping to improve their safety.

About Our Toddler Swimming Lessons in Norfolk

Our mission is clear: teaching individuals of all ages and abilities to become stronger, safer swimmers. With nearly 40 years of experience behind our teaching methodologies, British Swim School is the perfect place for toddlers to learn. Our program introduces children to the water for the first time and develops water survival skills through a structured program of songs, games, and fun.

A parent or caregiver is required to accompany children under the age of 3. An instructor will lead the class, but you will assist your child as they build a positive relationship with the water. Working together, we’ll introduce your little learner to water safety and survival skills that will be used throughout the entire curriculum-based program.

Hear From Our Parents and Students

My son has developed a better love for the water and is more comfortable while around the pool.

I have developed a sense of calm around the pool with him. I feel more confident in his abilities when around open water. This program has also given my son and me bonding time that is meaningful and important in developing safety and socialization. I would highly recommend British Swim School to all families to assist with developing water safety! Edward, Virginia Beach VA

We love swimming lessons with BSS!

My water-hesitant son feels so proud of himself after we go! They work with him where he is while also pushing him to be more comfortable and expanding his water skills. They aren't scared when he is upset and they work through it together. Highly recommend! James, Virginia Beach VA
