Pittsburgh, PA 
While newborns probably won’t learn to swim, per se, baby swimming lessons in Pittsburgh teach young children to be safe in and around the water and develop a lifelong love of swimming. Even very young children can learn to float and roll onto their backs to rest at the water’s surface or propel themselves to safety. Children between 1 and 4 years of age are among those at the greatest risk of drowning-related deaths, and development of water survival skills can protect them in the event of an unexpected fall into the pool, for example. Additionally, babies that participate in parent-assisted aquatics gain foundational knowledge and motor skills that can set them up for success in swimming lessons down the road!
About our Baby Swimming Lessons in Pittsburgh
Looking for baby swimming lessons? British Swim School of Pittsburgh is the perfect place for your little one to start learning how to swim! We teach safety and survival skills in a way that makes learning fun for young children, which helps with retention and makes learning to swim enjoyable. While safety is always our top priority, you can expect plenty of singing and splashing while your child acclimates to the water environment in our parent-assisted classes. But don’t worry, parents have just as much fun in our beginner-level classes as their little ones! You’ll love watching their skills and confidence grow!
Don’t delay: Babies can begin learning water acclimation and beginner water survival skills as early as 3 months old! Here’s an overview of the skills taught in our baby swimming lessons:
- Water acclimation
- Full gentle submersion
- Assisted (or independent) back float
- Jump in, rollover and float independently
- Independence from parent(s)
- And more!
Once your child has mastered the skills of our beginner-level programs, they can proceed to our advanced water survival and stroke development programs!

“Our son has grown through several levels with British Swim School. He used to be a bit afraid of the water and now he is in Shark 1! He works hard through all seasons of the year and that consistency and routine has helped him tremendously! He wants to learn harder strokes and is not afraid to try them. The instructors are amazing and figure out how to provide the instructions effectively for the different ways the kids learn. My son looks forward to his class each week. As parents, we have recommended British Swim School to several friends and do not fear taking him to the ocean or a swim park. We know he can swim and are able to trust that he can apply his skills anywhere.” – Mark, Pittsburgh

Hear From Our Parents and Students
Thank you, British Swim School!
The instructor in the Turtle 1 program has really motivated my daughter to push herself in the water. I have seen such amazing progress in a short amount of time. Emaline, Pittsburgh PA
My son loves coming to class!
Our instructor, Joe, is fantastic! He is teaching proper technique, developing confidence and having fun with the kids. Nathan, Pittsburgh PA
Our experience has been absolutely wonderful. Sean has such a unique way to connect with each of the children.
Our daughter didn't even want to go near the pool during the first lesson and now she is very comfortable in the water. She confidently jumps in, floats and is learning to swim more each lesson. She also sings the songs at home that Sean sings during lessons. Bethany, Pittsburgh PA
Thank you so much, Sean, and British Swim School for teaching my children a lifelong lesson! We are forever grateful! :-)"
Our son immediately responded to Sean's style of teaching. In less than a year, he went from not being able to float (Minnow) to confidently swimming all the way across the pool using freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly (Shark 1). His favorite stroke is now the butterfly and he absolutely LOVES to swim. Bethany, Pittsburgh PA
