Baby and Toddler Swim Lessons in Toronto
At Seal Swimming we believe that swimming is essential, to build strong bodies, healthy minds, self-esteem, social skills and community values, as well as water safety awareness, leadership and accident prevention. There are so many benefits to early swimming instruction and baby aquatics even though your little one might not even be walking yet!
The earlier you get a baby into water, the less fear and apprehension they will develop towards the water as they grow. Swimming also improves confidence in other ways. Baby and toddler swimming lessons include water play, fun songs, toys and close contact with mom, dad or another trusted caregiver. Our classes foster a supportive and social community environment that encourages self-confidence and joy of learning a new skill.
When your little one learns how to swim with us, they will be building the foundations and fundamentals of swim skills that will help them transition to lessons without parents. Baby swim lessons are a great start to teaching your child how to love and respect the water.
