Toddler swimming lessons in Ellicott City provide a fun-filled introduction to water safety. While young children may not be developmentally ready to swim on their own, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends starting swimming lessons between the ages of 1 and 4. Learning water safety and survival skills is proven to lower drowning rates among children, including toddlers and preschoolers.
Parents should be involved in swimming lessons for kids under the age of 4. The goal is for you and your child to have fun while learning water safety basics. Toddlers gain confidence and comfort through water play and guided instruction, building a solid foundation for long-term success.
Does your little learner seem eager to swim? It’s never too early to teach water safety, and children are safest when they get started early in life. If you’re uncertain, talk to your child’s pediatrician to determine if they’re physically and developmentally ready. The sooner, the safer.

Hear From Our Parents and Students
My daughter's instructor is so patient with her!
She was scared to try the back float and not only did he get her to do it but she wanted to try it over and over again. I feel as though all the instructors there are not only knowledgeable about swimming but understand how to engage and work with young children, which makes a world of difference! Thank you! Kayla, satisfied parent
All of the instructors take the time to make the student feel comfortable!
They explain what is going on to the kids and give the parents feedback on their progress. The student-instructor ratio is great as well! Jayden, satisfied parent
