Learn to Swim Box Hill: Infant and Toddler Swimming Lessons
Located in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, we offer swimming lessons for infants and toddlers aged between 6 months and 3 years at Aqualink Box Hill and our mineral based salt water pool at Blackburn Learn to Swim Centre.
Guided by our specially trained instructors, you will learn to gently and safely introduce your child to water. Our instructors will not force development on them, but rather nurture confidence through fun songs and activities so as your child’s self-assurance grows. You will help them learn swimming skills such as breath control and propulsion.
Offered 7 days a week, your 30-minute class provides a great opportunity for mum, dad, nan or pa to spend special one-on-one time bonding with the child.
Early Childhood Development and Learning to Swim
Research has shown that the importance of swimming lessons at this age transcends past water safety.
Did you know children who undertake lessons from an early age are, on average, 6 to 15 months ahead of non-swimmers when it comes to solving math problems, counting, language and following instructions?
Learning to swim at this early age has children well ahead in many skills and processes they will apply once at school.
As your child transitions into pre-school the academic and social skills gained from lessons is truly beneficial.
