6 months – 3 years · Parent + child, in the water together
Baby & Me
You're in the water with me — I'll teach you both, together.
Ask me about Baby & MeAbout this program
This is the class I love opening every week with. You're in the water beside your baby the whole time, and I teach you as much as I teach them — how to hold, how to support, how to read what your little one is telling you. We use songs, floats, and gentle submersions to build trust before we ever chase a skill. For a lot of families, this is where a lifetime of water confidence quietly begins.
What I focus on
Water comfort & trust
Gentle entries and face-splashing games, and holds that help your baby relax instead of tense up in my arms and yours.
Assisted floating
I support your baby through back and front floats so they start to feel how water actually holds them up.
Guided submersions
I only introduce cue-based dips once I can see your baby is ready — always at their pace, never mine.
Parent coaching
You'll leave knowing how to safely support your child in any pool, not just in our lessons together.
Common questions
Does my baby need to be able to hold their head up?
Yes — I like to start once a baby has good head control, usually around 6 months. Message me on WhatsApp and I'll help you figure out if they're ready.
What should we bring?
A swim diaper, a favourite floating toy, and a towel. I'll let you know if your specific pool needs anything else.
