What skills will my little one learn between 0 and 1 years old?

Age 0-1

What skills will my little one learn?

In their first year with us, your little one will begin a brilliant foundation in swimming. 

We’re passionate about holistic learning, and our water quests and adventures are tailored to every stage, prioritising your little ones personal development, and nurturing every little mind, body and soul through swimming and play. 

For babies, our classes provide a sensory playground and give parents and little ones the bonding time that’s so important; but as children get older, the program has the scope to develop as they do – becoming more engaging and deepening in relevance and meaning.

We'll help them kick their legs, while reaching for toys in the pool will encourage them to stretch out to develop their swimming arms. They'll start their first steps in aquatic breathing through activities like blowing bubbles (and you'll get to join in the fun too). Their first underwater swims will gently build on their natural gag reflex, and they'll soon learn how to control their breath so it becomes a learned action.  

We'll also work on building their physical ability and strengthening their core. Floating is a key part of the first year, as it forms the foundation of learning to swim and helps with water confidence. And at the heart of everything we do is safety. We'll teach your baby to hold on to the side of the pool and the basics of how to respond in an emergency situation. 

The Origin Story

Spending time hanging out in the deep channels that separate their island homes, Bubba the Whale made friends with a group of swimming superstars who lived on the land, but who explored, trained, and played in the crystal-clear waters. 

Summoning them together with one mighty whale-call, he gave them a mission that would really fire their imaginations. 

Renaming them ‘The Swimvincibles’, he sent them on a journey to share their swimming skills and love of the water with babies and young children through fun adventures and play. 

Because Bubba wants every child to have the best start in life - he knows that swimming is a superpower… and superpowers need to be shared. 

Meet The Swimvincibles

Introducing the Swimvincibles – a group of swimming superheroes on a mission to help children of all ages learn a skill for life. They’ve ventured from their magical islands to bring water confidence, share their swimming skills, and love of the water with babies, toddlers, and children through fun adventures and play. With their unique skill sets and distinct personalities, their stories inspire children to become Swimvincible. As they journey through the ‘Oceans of Imagination’ little ones will be guided by our team of Swimvincibles on their own, individual adventure, tailored to their needs, earning Water Babies Treasures and swimming awards along the way.
