Pre-Toddler Swimming Lessons

Pre-toddler swimming lessons are an exciting first step for little ones learning to enjoy and feel safe in the water. At Little Splashes, we help children ages 12 to 23 months build confidence, balance, and basic water skills through fun activities like jumping, floating, and even singing songs! These lessons aren’t just about swimming—they also help kids improve coordination, boost listening skills, and connect with other kids and parents in a playful setting.

At this age, children are naturally curious, and swimming classes give them a safe space to explore and learn. Our heated indoor pools provide comfort, ensuring that every child feels secure and happy as they discover the water at their own pace. They also get to interact with other children and adults, building social skills while having fun. Our lessons make sure every child can progress in a warm, welcoming environment, creating joyful memories and valuable skills they’ll carry with them for a lifetime.

Why Pre-Toddler Swimming Lessons Are Important

Also commonly known as baby and toddler swimming lessons, pre-toddler classes don’t just teach water skills; they also provide a wonderful opportunity to nurture early social skills and emotional growth. By engaging in playful activities that involve songs, nursery rhymes, and gentle exercises, children are able to express themselves and interact with others, creating a positive learning environment. This combination of physical activity, language interaction, and social engagement helps to stimulate important brain functions, making pre-toddler swimming lessons a truly holistic experience.

Benefits of Pre-Toddler Swim Classes:

• Building confidence and safety – Learning water safety skills is a great way to help your child feel safe and confident in the water.
• Improving motor skills – Activities like walking, jumping, and floating help children with their coordination and body movements.
• Encouraging problem-solving and social skills – Kids learn to work together and think through simple challenges, like reaching for the pool wall.
• Stimulating brain development – Songs and conversation help your child with language and listening skills, which are important for overall brain growth.
• Strengthening parent-child bonding – Our lessons encourage parent-child interaction, making the learning process even more special!

What Are Pre-Toddler Swimming Lessons?

12 to 23 Months Old

Pre-toddler swimming lessons are specially designed for children between 12 to 23 months old. These lessons are the perfect bridge between baby swimming and toddler swimming. At this age, children are ready to learn new water movements, improve their balance, and even try activities like floating on their backs. Each class focuses on simple exercises and playful activities that keep them engaged and happy in the water.

How Pre-Toddler Lessons Differ from Baby and Toddler Swimming

While baby lessons focus primarily on water comfort and gentle bonding activities, pre-toddler classes introduce children to more independent movements in the water.

Unlike toddler lessons, which may involve structured swimming techniques, pre-toddler classes keep activities simple and enjoyable, perfectly suited to each child’s developmental stage. These sessions are designed to build basic water confidence and improve coordination at a comfortable pace, giving children the foundation they need before moving on to more advanced skills in toddler classes.

Age Group and Developmental Milestones for Pre-Toddlers

In our pre-toddler classes, we focus on helping children develop essential water skills. As these classes are designed for 12-23-month-olds, this is an essential stepping stone for the transition to toddler swimming. By learning basic water movements and safety skills, your child will be ready for more advanced classes when they grow older.

Why Choose Indoor Heated Pools for Pre-Toddler Lessons?

Our indoor heated pools are specially chosen to create a warm, comfortable setting where young swimmers can learn without distraction. Warm water helps children relax, feel safe, and focus on building confidence in the water. Indoor heated pools allow us to maintain a consistent temperature and safe space year-round, providing an ideal environment for children to learn at their own pace and build a positive relationship with water.

Importance of Temperature-Controlled Pools for Young Swimmers

Temperature-controlled pools are essential for pre-toddler swimmers, as warm water keeps their muscles relaxed and their body comfortable. In a cozy pool, children are less likely to feel chilly or distracted, allowing them to concentrate on their activities and enjoy the lesson. This warm environment helps young children stay engaged, relaxed, and happy in the water.

Year-Round Availability and Comfort for Babies and Toddlers

Our indoor heated pools make swimming lessons possible throughout the year, rain or shine. Parents can rely on a consistent, comfortable setting for each class, helping children feel secure and ready to learn. With this year-round availability, children can build confidence and stay familiar with the water, developing their skills without interruption.
