For Toddlers Ages 18 to 36 Months Ready to Learn With Instructor Support Only
Seahorse is an introductory independent program for toddlers who are ready to sit on the wall independently and have developed the foundational skills introduced in earlier levels. Parents remain close by—just behind the swimmer in the water—to provide comfort while allowing their child to take more initiative during lessons. Instructors work hands-on with each swimmer to build on previously introduced survival techniques, offering personalized guidance in a fun, fast-paced environment that encourages confidence and continued progress.

“My daughter recently switched to the British Swim School because she wasn't advancing in her previous swim school. We are so happy we switched! In a short amount of time, she has built confidence in the water and continues to advance each visit!”

“We enrolled our 7 year old son at the beginning of June. Previously he only had the confidence to enter a pool with a life vest on. Before the end of summer he was jumping off the diving board, going down slides & swimming underwater without goggles. Love the team here at British Swim School & will forever be grateful for help.”
