Celebrating Baby Swimming Milestones

Every splash tells a story of growth and achievement! At London Baby Swim, we love celebrating those precious milestones with you.

Key Milestones to Look Forward To

The First Splash That magical moment when your baby first touches the water. Some babies love it immediately, others need a little time - both are perfectly normal!

Kicking Those Little Legs When your baby starts kicking independently, it's a sign they're becoming comfortable and confident in the water.

Blowing Bubbles This fun skill is actually an important safety technique that teaches breath control.

Going Underwater A huge milestone! Our instructors will guide you through this safely when your baby is ready.

Independent Movement When your little one starts propelling themselves through the water - pure magic!

Why Milestones Matter

These achievements aren't just about swimming skills - they're building:

  • Confidence that transfers to other areas of life
  • Trust between you and your baby
  • Physical strength and coordination
  • Water safety awareness from an early age
