Infant Survival

Where Safety Meets Confidence

Infant and Toddler Survival Swimming Lessons at SwimKids

Looking for survival swimming lessons for your baby or toddler? At SwimKids, our Infant and Toddler Survival Lessons are designed for children aged 6 months to 2 years, focusing on the life-saving water skills every child should know.

Key Survival Skills Taught:

  • Holding breath underwater
  • Swimming short distances
  • Floating unassisted for 10+ seconds
  • Rolling from stomach to back to breathe
  • Turning in the water to locate the pool wall

These foundational skills are taught using gentle, child-centered techniques that protect your baby’s natural love for the water. We aim to safely prepare your child for a lifetime of swimming and water activities.

The SwimKids Difference

What to Expect

It’s normal for infants and toddlers to cry during the early stages of survival swimming lessons. The water is a new and unfamiliar environment, and discomfort is part of the process. With consistent attendance, supportive instruction, and active parental involvement, children begin to develop the confidence and skills needed to respond effectively in the water.

These lessons require commitment—from the child, the instructor, and the parent. Progress is built over time through trust, repetition, and persistence. This is not a quick fix, but a meaningful investment in your child’s safety, development, and resilience.

At SwimKids, we support your child’s progress with year-round access to our 90-degree indoor pools, providing a warm, welcoming environment where swimmers can learn, grow, and maintain critical skills in comfort, no matter the season.

By staying consistent and committed, your child will build a foundation of water safety that can last a lifetime and may save their life!
