Swimming Babies
Parent and Child Program
Our swimming babies program is for children from 3 months to 3 years old bonding with Mum or Dad in the water. Levels are age- and ability-based.
We are strong advocates for children to be swimming before they start school and this begins with a dedicated Swimming Babies program. You can expect lots of songs, activities and games to make learn to swim fun for you and your child.
- Babies are able to achieve amazing things in the water.
- Blast Swim Academy’s carefully designed curriculum uses the best practices from learn to swim programs around the world to maximise their physical development in learning the fundamental aspects of swimming.
- In the earlier levels of Ducklings, Ducks and Goldfish, classes are distinguished by age rather than ability. Beyond these levels, ability determines level progression.
