Our baby swimming lessons provide a gentle, supportive introduction to water for infants and toddlers aged 6 months to 3 years.
At Learn to Swim Victoria, our warm mineral water pool creates a calm and comfortable learning environment, helping babies build early water confidence, safety awareness and essential survival skills.
Gentle Water Introduction for Babies and Toddlers
Our Baby Water Awareness classes offer a joyful and relaxed introduction to swimming for your little one.
Through carefully structured routines, babies learn water familiarisation, breath control, floating skills and early propulsion techniques.
These early swimming experiences support water safety awareness while encouraging physical development, confidence and bonding between parent and child.
Classes are designed and delivered by experienced instructors who understand how babies learn and respond in the water.
Our classes create a fun and stimulating atmosphere, giving babies the opportunity to explore the water while feeling safe and supported.
