Many parents are uncertain about when to start swimming lessons in Novi. In its newest water safety guidelines, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends children begin swimming lessons between the ages of 1 and 4 to help decrease drowning risks.
At British Swim School, we welcome infants aged 3-months and older to participate in our fun-filled water acclimation classes. These classes teach the entire family to be safe around the water. If your child is older, don’t worry. It’s never too late to learn. Ages 4 and up are when kids usually begin to grasp advanced swimming techniques.
Our patient instructors will help your child laugh, splash, and have a great time in the pool.
Learning to Swim Age-by-Age
At British Swim School, we can help you or your child feel comfortable in the water and learn to swim. We have over 40 years of experience behind our program, and we have helped thousands of families become safer around the water.
Our highly trained instructors love what they do, and they’re passionate about sharing their love of swimming with their students. Our warm-water pools and gentle teaching methods help our students feel at ease in the water right from the start.
We offer year-round swimming lessons for people of all ages throughout the Novi area, including:
- “Parent & Me” style classes for infants and toddlers ages 3-months to 3 years. Swimmers learn to become comfortable and independent in the water while learning basic water survival techniques, such as floating.
- Water acclimation and water survival classes for kids ages 3-years and older. We place children into swim classes based on their age and ability, with water safety at the forefront of every lesson.
- Stroke development classes for older children who have mastered the water survival techniques, including pre-teens, teens, and young adults.
No matter which class your child starts at British Swim School, they’ll have a blast. Our child-friendly instructors pack each class full of games and activities that keep students entertained as they learn to swim.
