At Baby Swim we teach the Birthlight™ method. This introduces techniques and holds that stimulate the baby's natural swimming reflexes and gradually translates them into deliberate movements.

The emphasis in our lessons is placed on developing skills through play. We start with floating to relax you and your baby then progress to moving your baby through the water using simple holds.

All activities from floating to swimming with your baby are designed to be fun, confidence building and relaxed and are only introduced when you and your baby are ready.

Gradually as your baby discovers his own buoyancy and balance, our approach emphasises the joy of freedom in the water he can experience working at his own pace.

As your confidence grows we encourage you to submerge your baby but the choice is always yours. We aim to help you recognise and understand how your baby is feeling through his facial expressions and body language. In this way you will intuitively understand his willingness to go under or not. Submersion is perfectly safe when undertaken with confidence and respect.

At Baby Swim each child is respected as an individual and encouraged to develop at his own pace. The gentle and sensitive approach to parent and baby bonding is combined with safety skills but most importantly with fun! Together with our relaxed and non competitive environment, confidence in the water is built helping your baby to reach his full potential.
