From the experience of foetal development, a baby instinctively holds it's breath underwater. A baby with swimming abilities is normally more alert, with better eating and sleeping patterns. Ages start from birth to 4 years.
Newborn infants have a natural instinct to hold their breath underwater.
As a child grows, this natural instinct of holding their breath underwater diminishes, and a child who has not been used to water, will begin to fear it. Our courses are designed to help a child's confidence and ability in the water to grow, enabling them to be aware of their bodies, thus improving a child's co-ordination. It is important for a child to enjoy their class and to feel that the experience is fun. The classes are designed to help the parent or carer develop their own teaching skills when they are alone with a child. Aquababies classes do not use any floatation aids when teaching a child to swim.
