Lichfield Dolphins Swim School - Water Babies

The best way to get your child swimming is to start as early as possible, as this makes use of their natural affinity to water whilst very young, overcoming the trepidation they can feel as they get older.

Water Babies award winning classes are available in and around Lichfield and form the perfect introduction to a lifetime of swimming, as your baby can start from birth.

They are also the ideal way to introduce babies and toddlers to a healthy active lifestyle, and have a host of developmental benefits for both the child and their parents.

Recent studies have shown baby swimming helps balance and coordination; physical development (both muscular and cardio-vascular); water safety (a US study concluded it led to an 88% reduction in the likelihood of drowning if children fall in water); and it even helps combat post natal depression in new parents.

And by the time our babies reach the age of four, they are comfortably swimming on the surface, meaning that they can then move into mainstream swimming classes with Lichfield Dolphins and then on to the swimming club to
refine their technique and continue building their strength, often at the same level as six and seven year-olds.
