Mommy or Daddy & Me Lessons

Having Mommy or Daddy participate provides comfort to new learners. Actively guiding and assisting your child in water will help promote their movement, overall development and safety — PLUS, it’s a fun time for babies and the parent.

(starting at 6 months - A parent must accompany the child in water)

These bonding lessons will help you simultaneously develop mutual trust, security and self-confidence. Lessons involve playtime with specific toys (provided by the instructor) as well as songs that allow babies to move rhythmically in the calm water, where positive new impressions and experiences are created. Water safety is very important to SWIM HAVEN and a key element in our Mommy or Daddy & Me lessons. We will teach our mini students fundamental safety and self-rescue exercises.

Parents will also learn how to safely handle and hold their child in water and benefit from the intimate physical contact, that can strengthen the parent-child connection. We will teach you to utilize controlled push-and-pull movements, so you can safely maneuver your baby smoothly through the pool, to perform resistance exercises. Not only will your baby experience a soft and pleasant massage but these aquatic exercises enable a wider range of motion while also enhancing their motor skills.

This class is not a classic Infant Self Rescue (ISR) class but rather an interactive Mommy or Daddy & Me lesson with important SAFETY elements. *See FAQ

Let us help you and your baby or toddler become a safe swimmer in the future.

Ages 2 and Up

For children ages two and up, who want to learn how to swim, SWIM HAVEN hosts lessons where parents are encouraged to stay close, but do not directly participate.

In these beginner swim lessons, the child will independently learn the basic skills on how to put their face in the water, submerge, blow bubbles and kick. Learning these basics will prepare the mini student to learn more advanced skills in progression, such as:

• Floating

• Gliding

• Diving

• Jumping

After the above skills are developed we can move on to learning the coordination and a proper form of arm and leg patterns and develop basic swim stroke styles.

Our goal is to teach basic safety guidelines while helping your child become comfortable in water so they can become an independent and safe swimmer.

Students with Unique Needs

(Any Age)

Water can be an amazing and therapeutic addition in the lives of those facing special challenges. The learning ability varies as greatly as our students themselves. The instructor’s first focus is on getting the participant comfortable in water while also introducing water-safety skills. Using a fun, gentle approach (for example, visual cards) can help students learn to put their face in water, submerge, blow bubbles and kick. These basics will prepare the participant to learn more advanced skills, such as to float and to glide. Depending on the ability, the student may move on to learning the coordination of arm and leg patterns.

Our goal for special needs lessons is to teach basic safety skills, while helping you become comfortable in water. We are proud to guide you in reaching goals that are developmentally appropriate. Let us support you along your way to become a safe swimmer in your familiar environment and at your own pace.
