It is a really good course, very practical and easy to follow. I first started it conditioning my baby at 6th month old when I saw the free course how to prepare baby for swimming lessons and it was great my baby responded really well and enjoyed every time at the pool, now my 7th and half month old baby is fully condition and prepare that’s why I decided it to take these course to keep teaching my baby. We have been practicing the lessons and he love them, he is not afraid of the water on his face at all and even if he ingest a little water and coughs he doesn’t cry or want to get out, I’m loving how he is progressing every time , we are practicing submersion already and he is doing amazing. I fully recommend this course

Why This Age Is Perfect

Infants come into the world with no real awareness of its dangers

It is for this reason that makes teaching this age group delightful since they'll unwittingly participate in anything you present to them.

Exposing these babies to an aquatic environment also prevents them from developing a fear of water.

Instead, it teaches them to respect the water and understand the dangers that water holds. And thus, making it less likely that your baby would put themselves in danger.

Your Instructor

Tessa Rhodes

I started my career working with children in 2005. Before I became a certified American Red Cross WSI (water safety instructor), I was a drama and gymnastics coach. Of the three, swimming is by far and away, my most favorite to teach, and it happens to be the most rewarding. As I see the progress my students make, I can't help but just love what I do.

Whether you're a parent or a swim instructor or in search of training to become one, you're in the right place. I am excited to share my knowledge with you.
