Toddler Swimming
Toddler swimming lessons in warm a hydrotherapy pool
Small, child-led classes helping little ones build confidence, water safety and a lifelong love of swimming
At Rainbow Aquatics, we strive to empower parents to help teach their toddlers how to be confident, relaxed and learn to swim.
Our journey started personally with our own little one taking them to swimming lessons as we knew this was a life skill we wanted to install as soon as possible - to respect water.
We loved our lessons that it encourage Jen to become a teacher herself, through her own studies and watch our little one experience things we found that lessons in warm water, such as hydrotherapy water (34 C) was much more pleasant not only for the adult but for the little ones.
The crying and 'shivering' stopped, the excitement returned, the muscle memory kicked in and then we saw the swim skills and confidence become alive.
So when Jen started Rainbow Aquatics it was a clear decision to only use hydrotherapy pools exclusively, to ensure that the sessions that she was providing were the very best. From the child focused structure, the warm calm environment, the small class sizes and the enormous knowledge that she now had.
Below you’ll find some information you need about our toddler swimming lessons, our methodology and some of the cutest toddler snaps we have caught on our journeys.
