Water Familiarisation For Learn To Swim

Water Familiarisation For Learn To Swim 💦
Water familiarisation is the very first step in every child’s learn to swim journey. In this video, we explore fun, safe, and engaging ways to help babies and toddlers build confidence in the water while developing the foundation skills needed for swimming success.

Children begin by discovering the joy of water exploration — splashing, playing, and learning how their body moves in the pool. Simple activities like pouring water over the face encourage comfort with water, while breath control games and gentle self-submersions help little swimmers learn how to hold their breath and resurface safely. These are essential milestones for swimming and water safety.

🌊 Exploring shallow water is especially important for toddlers. In this environment they feel safe, secure, and in control. Shallow water allows children the freedom to explore with confidence, develop independence, and attempt new skills without fear. We always avoid using flotation devices, as true progress comes from learning to free float and discovering natural buoyancy — essential steps in building lifelong swimming ability.

Experienced swimming teachers must always provide constant encouragement and reassurance, supporting children to try skills independently at their own pace. Each small success builds confidence, self-belief, and resilience in the water. By combining fun with structured learning, children begin to develop the trust and comfort that will carry them through every stage of their swimming journey.

👶 In this video your child will experience:
• Building water confidence through play and exploration
• Pouring water to prepare for safe submersion
• Breath control activities that extend underwater skills
• Self submersions for independence and safety awareness
• Exploring shallow water for security, freedom, and independence
• Encouragement from the teacher to attempt skills on their own
• Positive learning in a fun and supportive environment

💙 Water familiarisation is not just about learning to swim — it’s about creating joyful, safe, and confidence-building experiences in the pool that set your child up for a lifetime of swimming, water safety, and family fun.

⚠️ Important: Always ensure adult supervision around water.
