BABY SWIMMING

Baby Swimming teaches swimming courses for babies using the 'underwater method' of teaching. Babies are born with the "diving reflex". When a baby goes underwater the epiglottis closes the throat, preventing babies from taking in water. They happily open their eyes underwater and kick their legs (some more than others). The diving reflex is strongest before the baby turns 12 months. You can enrol on your first Baby Swimming course when the baby is at least ten weeks old and is no older than 12 months of age.
But if your child is older than 12 months and not yet attended swimming classes, you haven't missed out because we offer entry level Toddler courses for children from 12 months to 3 years of age, who have no or very little swimming experience.
We provide courses in warm hydropools in Herne Hill London and Walton-on-Thames, Surrey.
Our instructors are fully qualified swimming teachers, hold a pool safety award and have at least five years experience teaching babies to swim. Baby Swimming was established in January 2000 by Daisy Starrs.
