How often should I schedule swimming lessons?

The frequency of swimming lessons depends on various factors such as your goals, preferences, and your child's age. watermellow is here to assist you in discovering the perfect rhythm for your baby's unique swim journey.

 

Bi-weekly Lessons for the Tiniest Tots

For infants aged 6 months and younger, watermellow recommends bi-weekly lessons. This schedule is designed to align with your baby's natural learning pace, providing ample time between sessions for cognitive and physical development.

 
Around 8 months of age babies begin to develop a concept of fear, so if they’re already familiar with being in the water by then, all the better.

Bi-weekly lessons transform each session into a special bonding experience, allowing your little one to practice skills with you.

The benefits of bi-weekly lessons extend beyond the pool. Bi-weekly lessons provide an excellent opportunity for parents to actively engage in their baby's swimming journey. 

It's not just about the lessons; it's about the valuable time spent bonding and building trust in the water. These lessons become a journey of discovery and joy for both parents and babies alike.
