By: Phoebe Ackland, ellaslist

Little Aussies usually turn out to be water babies… but they need a little help getting there at first! Here are our top picks for Sydney’s best baby swim schools, that you can truly trust with your precious little one.

1. Duck and Dive Baby Swim School

Teaching your baby to swim not only gives them valuable life skills, but also builds their confidence in the water and is a lovely bonding experience for the two of you. Through Duck & Dive's fun yet structured baby swimming lessons, they teach parents to swim with babies from 0 to 3 years, in a warm, relaxed and calm environment. Duck & Dive is a genuine boutique, family run swim school specialising in babies from aged 0 to 3yrs and offer baby swim lessons in Sydney's inner west, north shore and St George areas. 

 

2. Funfitness Swim

Funfitness Swim School at the Croydon Tennis Centre offers parent and baby lessons from 3 months to 18 months of age. Mums and bubs will feel completely comfortable in their indoor salt water pool, heated to a delightful 32 degrees. There are two streams within the baby classes to allow a focus on skills which are age appropriate. Classes focus on water familiarisation and water safety, and from 18 months of age, the child moves to a learn to swim class where they will build on their water skills and learn water safety skills. Swim classes are small (maximum of 8 for babies and 4 for Learn to Swim programs from 18m) to ensure everyone gets plenty of attention. Funfitness Swim School is a Gold level recognised swim school with Austswim which provides access for customers to claim back a portion of their learn to swim fees with participating Health Funds.
