Would you like your baby or toddler to develop a lifelong love of the water? At Chicago Blue Dolphins, we help them do just that by using a child-centered approach for our infant-toddler swim classes. We use songs, games and toys to bring joy to the learning process, which helps the children learn faster and better and eliminates pressure, anxiety, crying and coughing.
We introduce skills when your child is ready, open and relaxed. We take the tears out of the process and foster fun in learning. There are never any forced back floats, immersions or aggressive skills-based teaching.
We adopted the child-centric philosophy nearly a decade ago, and the results have been amazing. When a child is happy and enjoying learning, the skills become ingrained in a positive way, and this leads to stronger, higher quality swim strokes as they develop.
What Can You Expect from Our Baby and Toddler Swim Classes?
As a parent, you will be in the water and will be an active participant on your child’s swim journey. You will be your child’s “spotter,” helping him or her perform the activities safely and happily.
We also teach you the skills you need to take what you learn in class and have fun with your little one in the pool, lake or ocean.
If you’d like more information on our teaching approach and on the classes in our sequence, please refer to the presentation to the right.
All of our babies and toddlers begin in Infant Toddler 1 and work their way up to Infant Toddler 3. The amount of time that takes depends on the age of your child, whether they come to class once per week or more frequently, and the pace at which they become comfortable with the water and the skills they’re developing.
