Toronto, ON
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 North Central Toronto 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 North Central Toronto
An instructor leads our learn-to-swim programs for children ages 3-to-36 months. But in most classes, the swimmers are with their caregivers 100% of the time. This provides reassurance for the child and helps them feel safe in the water. Our child-friendly instructors will become more hands-on as your child progresses and we work towards independence.
Parents who take part in our baby swimming lessons leave with unforgettable memories. What’s more satisfying than watching your baby grin and giggle as they splash around in the water? But more importantly, you and your child learn how to be safe—all while strengthening your parent-child bond.
Water can be especially dangerous for young children. Because of this, it’s important that parents are aware of basic water safety techniques. This includes how to encourage safe behaviors and actionable strategies that will allow you to enjoy the water with peace of mind. With our help, you and your child can learn these skills and put them into practice.
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!

They have provided a convenient day and time of the week for my daughter to take lessons. All of the swim instructors are very kind and patient and have excellent communication skills with the kids. She loves swimming and wants to become a swimmer. I am sure British Swim School has a lot to do with her passion for the water! Sofia, satisfied parent
