Discover the SWIMBABES™ Difference: From Water Comfort to Lifesaving Skills-Where It All Begins: Intro Classes
If you’re looking for a swim program that goes beyond basic water play, we’re so glad you found us. At SWIMBABES™, we specialize in guiding young children through a proven, step-by-step journey—from feeling confident in the water to mastering real survival skills.
For over 84 years, our program has been designed with one goal in mind: helping children become truly safe, capable, and confident swimmers.
Our Intro classes are designed for infants and toddlers, along with their parents. These early lessons focus on comfort, breath control, and supported floating—all in a warm, nurturing environment.
For babies ages 0–17 months, once or twice-a-week Intro classes are a fantastic way to begin. They help build water familiarity, trust, and early skills that form the foundation for future progress.
Preparing for Beginning Survival
As your child grows and develops in the water, they’ll eventually work toward a key milestone in our program: Beginning Survival. This is where children learn how to roll over and float independently—a complex but essential skill that provides true water safety. We are experts in teaching babies as young as 7 months old how to turn over and float independently!
Because floating is a motor skill that takes repetition to master—like learning to ride a bike—all children entering Beginning Survival are required to attend at least twice per week. We’ve found that this frequency is essential for building the confidence, coordination, and muscle memory needed to succeed. Children under age 4 must be invited into Beginning Survival by their INTRO instructor.
A Journey That Grows with Your Child
Whether your child is brand new to the water or already comfortable in it, our program is built to grow with them—from first splashes to floating and beyond. Our experienced instructors, specialized curriculum, and warm, supportive environment make SWIMBABES™ a one-of-a-kind place to begin your child’s swim journey.
We’d love to welcome you to our community when you’re ready to jump in.
Warmly,
The SWIMBABES Team
