1. Our infant aquatic programs teach your child water skills in a safe, fun and stimulating environment
   

2. A parent or care giver accompanies each child into the water and participates in the session
   

3. Acknowledging that babies learn through movement, it is encouraged
   

4. Fun surroundings encourage your child to participate and experiment in the water
   

5. Children gain confidence and essential water skills in our natural learning environment
   

6. These skills promote water safety and prepare your child for more structured learning
   

7. Babies are taught to submerge by cueing and pouring small amounts if water over them. The volume of water slowly increases and when baby shows readiness, submersions begin. Initially only momentarily but as baby shows readiness and the caregiver is confident the submersions become longer leading to flotation.
   
   

FOR BABIES NOT YET WALKING:

1. Games, songs and guided activities stimulate your child's visual tracking skills, hand-eye and hand-foot co-ordination
   

2. Physical development is facilitated while developing basic water skills
   

FOR BABIES WHO ARE WALKING:

1. Our program’s focus changes with your child’s developmental needs
   

2. We encourage independent mobility in the water
   

3. Babies develop “dog paddle’ - like swimming movements for basic water safety
   

4. Perceptual activities promote co-ordination, socialising and body awareness.
   

5. Water safety is taught by encouraging submersion, floating, “dog paddle” and climbing skills.
   
   

Swimming lessons are not a substitute for proper barriers and supervision.

The skills learnt, however, do add a significant additional layer of protection.
