Galway Baby Swim
Baby swimming – teach your child the precious gift of
water confidence...
Benefits of Baby Swim.
• Bonding—through enjoying movement, songs and rhymes
together, lots of eye contact, praise and love, and fun . .
. along with plenty of cuddles!
• Water confidence—through carefully designed lessons
that are structured toward the long term goal of independent
swimming
• Safety skills—which teach independence as well
as a safe and healthy respect for the water
• Exercise—for both parent and child as you swim
with your baby and encourage them to learn from you and strengthen
their own swimming action
When can I Bring my Baby Swimming?
Your baby can begin swimming just as soon as you are ready to
bring them. Babies start at around six weeks. Our only criterion
is that they need to be less than one year when starting the
course.
Feeding
Try to feed your baby 1-2 hours before the lesson. You may
also find your baby is particularly hungry afterwards, having
just completed such a healthy workout.
What nappies do babys wear?.
With this system your child needs to wear a disposable nappy
With health and safety in mind, it's really important that
your baby's nappy fits snugly enough to form a good seal around
their tummy and thighs (this is one instance where you can't
buy two sizes larger knowing your child will grow into it
