Swimming Classes for Children in Baltimore: Start Them Early!

It may seem silly to put your child in swimming lessons before they can walk, but there are many benefits to early water acclimation and safety. The biggest perks to swimming classes for children are reduced risk of drowning and teaching swimming as a lifelong skill. At British Swim School Patapsco Valley, we give you the opportunity to start swimming lessons for your child in Baltimore, MD as early as 3 months old.

Making Water Acclimation and Safety Fun

If you’re looking for a fun, “mommy and me”-style class for you and your little one to enjoy, our Tadpole class is perfect! We work with infants and toddlers from age 3 months to 36 months in this program. Our main goal is to get your child acclimated to the water and reduce their fear.

Our instructors will also work with you on teaching your child assisted back floating and full gentle submersion. These skills are great for young children to learn so they are less afraid while in the water. By gaining these skills and confidence in the water at an early age, your child will be less likely to panic or drown in an emergency situation.

Another aspect of our Tadpole program is encouraging independent water exploration for your child. We have age-appropriate pools and water activities for them to take part in, which will solidify the water as a fun place to be. Pairing these valuable lessons with singing and splashing makes for a fun swimming class!

After your child masters these beginner skills, they can move up to our more advanced programs. We have classes for toddlers, pre-schoolers, elementary-age kids, teens, and adults. It’s never too late to learn water safety and how to swim! Swimming is a skill that can serve your child for their entire life, so why not start early?
