Aquaprep

Our Aquaprep lessons provide a fun, water-safe environment where your baby is introduced to the water with you or your caregiver. Lessons are planned to encourage one on one bonding, body awareness and social interaction through singing, playing and moving in the water.

Babies can learn to develop their natural instinct to hold their breath using word association and to hold their breath when their face makes contact with water. As your baby progresses and builds water confidence, independence is encouraged in fun activities that aim to teach basic swimming skills.
