When should I start teaching my baby to swim?

Young babies have a natural bond with water- after all they spend 9 months in fluid in the womb! Often babies relax more in water, than out of it. It makes sense to use this positive relationship by exposing your baby to a warm, secure, loving water environment as soon as possible.

Aim to start your baby in a quality swimming program from the age of 3-6 months. Your baby should be immunized and in good health. If your baby was premature, check with your doctor first.

Babies who swim from an early age are relaxed and confident in the water and avoid the emotional stress that may come when starting at a later age.
