At Chicago Blue Dolphins, we help babies and toddlers develop a lifelong love of the water through fun, engaging, and safe swim lessons. Our parent-child swim classes in Chicago use songs, games, and toys to introduce water skills in a playful, pressure-free way. The result? Happy, confident little swimmers who look forward to every splash.
Sign My Kiddo Up!From your child’s first swim class to their first confident kick, we make sure each experience is positive. No forced back floats. No unexpected dunking. Just trust, connection, and skill-building — all at your child’s pace.
Why Parents Love Our Infant & Toddler Swimming Lessons
Each child needs their own adult in the pool. For twins, you’ll need two caregivers.
What your child will learn:
- Infant-Toddler 1 – Water comfort, face immersion, breath holding, gliding with a kick, safe entries/exits.
- Infant-Toddler 2 – Longer swims, safety swim, jumps from standing, extended glides.
- Infant-Toddler 3 – Adding arm strokes, floating on the back, wall grabs for safety, retrieving underwater toys.
Most children transition into our Preschool program at age 4, where they shine thanks to the comfort and skills they’ve built in our baby-toddler classes.
Our group classes run year-round with open enrollment—no set end date. You may stay enrolled as long as you’d like.
For best results, we recommend a minimum three-month commitment. Within that time, most children become comfortable in the water, can hold their breath and glide for at least one second, and enter and exit safely.
