AAA Baby Classes
We all want the best for our kids. Research has shown that children who learn to swim at a young age reach many developmental milestones earlier than the norm. This includes not just swimming capability, but literacy, numeracy, social and emotional measures as well. Our Aqua Babies and Aqua Tots Program is designed to be the best possible introduction for you and your baby to water.
Your bub’s swim journey begins with water familiarisation. As you get more comfortable and confident in the water together, swim and water safety skills will gradually be introduced using toys, games and songs.
All that kicking and arm movement will improve coordination and muscle development, whilst burning off energy for improved appetite and sleep - and doesn't LOVE more sleep.
