Baby Swim Lessons & Classes

2 Months to 3 years of age

If there is one thing we could recommend to early parents, its grab a spot in one of our baby swim classes and get your child in the water. The earlier kids learn to swim, the more comfortable and safe they’ll be in the water… and the less worried you’ll be about their safety when you can’t be with them. Long story short…

At King’s Swim Academy, water safety is our top priority. According to NCBI, swimming lessons can reduce the risk of drowning by 88% in kids ages 1-4 – so the earlier you can start, the better!

Our life saving baby swim lessons are designed and proven to help you guide your baby through the foundational swimming and water safety skills they’ll need to thrive.

In these group lessons, we’ll show you how to gently work with your baby to build muscle memory for proper swimming techniques. Baby swim lessons are also a great opportunity to bond with your child in the water while socializing with both other babies and parents. Set your child’s foundation for a lifetime of swimming fun! Baby swimming instruction available at both San Mateo and San Carlos swimming pools.
