Preparation
Stage 1 of Our 6-Stage Journey
There’s nothing more special than your baby’s first splash! Our Preparation Stage is where our baby swimmers and their parents share smiles, songs, and first floats together — all while beginning to build lifelong water confidence.

Bond & Float
Our Parent and Child, baby-led program focuses on water familiarisation, bonding, and early developmental safety skills — all delivered in a fun, age-appropriate environment.
What to Expect
Each class is full of smiles, songs, and gentle water play that engages your baby’s senses through sound, touch, and movement. Parents stay in the water, supporting their child while our teachers guide you through floating, kicking, and early safety routines — always at your baby’s pace.
Inside our Program
Our Preparation Stage is an age based program including:
-
Three age-based levels:
-
Babies 1 – Ducklings (4–9 months)
-
Babies 2 – Tiny Turtles (9–18 months)
-
Babies 3 – Penguins (18 months to 3 years)
-
-
A new theme every week – from animals and colours to underwater worlds
-
Key safety skills introduced gently:
-
Falling and rolling into a back float
-
Comfortable submersions
-
Supported floating and movement
-
Our lessons follow baby-led methods, adapting to each child’s comfort and readiness. At the end of each level, every baby receives a certificate — celebrating important early milestones like floating, submersion readiness, and water confidence.
