Give your baby the gift of swimming

John Wallace Swim School is proud to offer FREE baby swimming lessons to children from 2 months of age through to 6 months of age. Learning to swim is a fun and healthy activity, but also an important safety measure with our close proximity to water here on the Sunshine Coast.

Our FREE infant classes are taken by highly qualified, experienced and passionate instructors. They will guide you and your baby as you go through the early stages of water familiarisation, confidence and survival. We also focus on the importance of parental/guardian education and provide helpful information for you to use at home which will only further the development of your child.

See below some of the many benefits in early introduction to water for your baby:

• Babies have a natural reflex up until the age of 6 months. This natural reflex will assist in holding their breath (with the right instruction and supervision) when submerged to protect their airways.

• Swimming lessons will assist in muscle strength, motor skills, core strength and leg coordination.

• Swimming lessons will stimulate billions of neurons in your baby’s body just in once lesson, this will encourage a good appetite and sleep routine.

• It’s a great way to meet new people and make new friends along the way!
