Baby Swim Lessons & Classes

2 Months to 3 years of age

Start Early. Swim Safe.

The earlier your child starts swimming, the more confident—and safer—they’ll be in the water. At King’s Swim Academy, our baby swim lessons are built to give your child a strong start while giving you peace of mind.

Why Start Now?

According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), formal swim lessons can reduce the risk of drowning by up to 88% in children ages 1–4. That’s why we encourage families to begin as early as possible.

What to Expect in Baby Swim Lessons

Our baby swim classes are designed to:

Build water comfort and muscle memory through gentle, guided movement
Introduce foundational swim and safety skills
Create bonding opportunities between caregiver and child
Encourage social interaction in a safe, supportive group setting

Taught by certified instructors in our warm indoor pools, these classes are more than fun—they’re life-saving.

Available at Both Our San Mateo and San Carlos Locations

Let’s give your baby the safest, happiest start in the water.

Level 1 swimmers also learn how to go underwater for a full 10 seconds, which is the beginning of water safety and swimming.
