Toddler swim lessons not only teach children how to swim but also teach parents how to keep their children safe in and around water. This is crucial since children ages 1-4 are the most susceptible to accidental drowning most often at a home pool under the supervision of a caregiver who has lost sight of them for less than 5 minutes. Toddler swim lessons are more than just an extracurricular activity. They are a life saving skill proven to reduce the risk of drowning by up to 88%.
Our swim lessons use an imaginative approach encouraging toddlers to explore the water and learn new skills. We engage children by using songs, rhymes and games to practice new skills. Private toddler swim lessons allow every child to progress at his or her own rate and ensure their safety by working with an instructor one-on-one.
