Swimming Lessons for Babies
Your Destination for Baby Swimming Classes & Lessons in Auckland & Across the North Island
At Fulton Swim School we offer a nurturing approach to infant swimming, we place a strong emphasis on parent / child bonding in classes to ensure maximum progression from each participant.
Preparing for the first baby swimming lesson
The first few months of water exposure are in the bath at home. Children are not born with fear, it is a learned emotion. Children pick up from their parents/caregivers so at this time we need to be confident, relaxed and with no distractions (turn off the phone, don't answer the door, have all equipment ready - clothes, towels, toys). Check that the water is at a suitable temperature - it should be at about 32 ℃, you can test with your elbow. Ensure the temperature of the room is warm and draft free when you start bathing.
Never leave the child or baby swimming unattended or in the care of a sibling, children can drown quickly and silently.
