Swimming Lesson (Home) > Infant Aquatic
Infant Aquatic
For infant SIX months and above
 Every new born baby has the
potential to become a water baby, and the sooner a child discovers
the freedom of buoyancy and underwater swimming, the more relaxed
and independent he or she will become.
A baby from 6 months to 12 months will learn how to hold their
breath underwater, roll onto their back and float unassisted until
someone rescues them. A child over the age of 1 year will learn how
to hold their breath underwater, swim head down, roll onto their
back to float, rest and breathe; then roll back over to resume
swimming. This is called the swim-float-swim sequence and they will
be able to repeat this sequence until they reach the side of the
pool and crawl out.

The duration of infant aquatic lessons will be short to cater to

Parent's Notes:
Parent plays an important role in children swimming experience.
While children are striving hard to learn how to swim, parent should
know how to help their children.
1. Do not expect your child to be able to swim soon after they are
introduced to the water. It depends on individual learning ability.
As a parent, you should focus on the long term goal and avoid
putting pressure on achievement and expecting quick results, this
may become counter-productive.
2. Don't be over ambitious towards your child's progress. Allow them
to gradually develop and improve at his or her own pace. There is no
shortcut in learning to swim. Practise makes perfect. Every children
needs regular lesson and training, never try to hurry! Your child
will learn much more in short frequent regular visits than in the
occasional long one. A child's attention span is extremely short.
The younger the child, the shorter the attention span. Young
children concentration span is about twenty minutes.
3. If you child no longer seem to enjoy the water, don't give up!
Continue your regular lessons but don't waste all the earlier good
work. It is a good idea to just hang around and watch as the others
carry on, rather than skipping lessons.
4. Don't compare your child with others. Everyone has different
learning ability.
5. If your child accidentally slip into the water and chokes during
the lesson. Don't worry, this is a learning process. You just have
to lift your child up gently and put on your best smile. Praise them
for trying. Children needs to be encourage. By doing this, children
will enjoy and have fun.
6. If your child cries during the lesson, it doesn't mean that your
child is not ready for swimming lesson. You child may be adjusting
the separation from Mom and Dad getting accustomed to the new
surroundings, or just having a bad day. Give your child some time
and let him develop his confident, very soon he will be able to
enjoy this wonderful experience in a total relax environment with
us.
