Swimming is one of the most amazing experiences you can share with your baby!
Babies have a real affinity with water. They spend nine months in the womb, and many expectant mothers choose a water birth as the most natural introduction to this world. Water is recognised as a warm, supportive environment during labour and provides a natural transition for your baby from the womb to the “outside world”.
Babies can be taken swimming from birth, they do not need to have completed their injections and very young babies love the freedom, massage and gentle exercise that the water offers.
The benefits to both parent and baby of swimming together are immense:
There are further benefits too, especially if you join a fun, progressive programme like Puddle Ducks:
But most importantly of all, baby swimming should instil a love of water for the rest of your child’s life.
Puddle Ducks baby and toddler swimming classes teach your child to swim, be safe and have fun in the water. As a national swim school that has been established since 2001, the Puddle Ducks programme is carefully structured with a strong ethos of putting your child’s happiness first.
