Why Starting at 6 Weeks Gives Your Baby an Advantage
The earlier you start, the easier it is! Did you know babies have a natural affinity for water?
The Science Behind Early Swimming
Dive Reflex Babies are born with a "dive reflex" - when submerged, they automatically hold their breath and their heart rate slows. This reflex is strongest in the first months of life.
Muscle Memory Babies who swim early develop muscle memory for water movement that stays with them.
No Fear Young babies haven't yet developed a fear of water - making learning natural and stress-free.
Familiar Environment Having spent 9 months in amniotic fluid, water feels familiar and comforting to newborns.
