When it comes fo swimming for newborn babies remember, Swimming Lessons start in the bath 💙
Here is a little 6 weeks old enjiyint bathtine. Bath time is provides an opportunity to maintain baby’s natural affinity with the water. Bath time is the perfect first “swimming lesson” — building comfort, confidence and connection from the very beginning.
Bathing together in a big bath allows for easier handling and helps both parent and baby feel relaxed.
✔️ Place your hands softly over their hands to avoid the startle reflex when lowering baby into the bath
✔️ Lay baby gently on their back and support them under the neck and shoulders
✔️ Submerge the ears so baby can experience natural floating
These small moments lay the foundation for future swimming skills. Floating is the basis of all learn-to-swim
— and it can begin right here at home.
⚠️ Always prioritise bath time safety:
• Warm, not hot water
• Constant adult supervision
• Pull the plug immediately after use
Safe habits start early. Confident swimmers start early. 💦
