Babies and children may look like they're simply splashing about wildly in the water-but there are important swimming milestones for parents to recognize and encourage. At SwimWays, we call them Swim Steps. And we've created an entire program to help build solid swimming skills right from the very beginning.
Start with Swim Step 1: Water Introduction. Here, you'll find ways to make your baby's first time in the pool enjoyable and relaxing-for him and for you. Then move to Swim Step 2: Water Exploration. During this phase, your baby is learning important pre-swimming skills like paddling, splashing and balancing in the water. Advance to Swim Step 3: Swim Training as your child grows older and is ready to swim with assistance from graduated floatation devices-perfect for gaining confidence. Simply follow the Swim Steps and help your kids say hello to H20!
