Faq
2- 4 years old
It will be good for parents/guardians to be in the pool for both baby and toddler swimming lessons. Kids at this age will be more receptive and feel less scared with someone they trust around.
As they are in different categories, we recommend to conduct the class separately. We will suggest a back to back lesson for your children. The curriculum used for both toddler and kids swimming lessons are different
Not advisable to do so. Kids categorized 5 years old and above follow a different curriculum, toddler at age 4 and below might not be so receptive in instruction. They might not follow the class as well therefore slowing the both pace for learn to swim progression. Decision still lies with the parents, the school will evaluate and allow on a case by case basis.
You need to have your own swim gear, goggles and float board for the first lesson. Your swimming instructor will inform you of any if in doubt after first swimming lesson.

Testimonials
“Very good course as a parent who do not know how to swim. The school uses a simple program that is proven very highly effective for my babies. The teachers in this school are knowledgeable and had done many researches always finding new methods to engage the kids. I believe that my baby are now happier in water, with better developed motor skills to move around freely. I am glad and find less worried now even if she fell into the water. She can now twist and turn herself in the pool floating to grasp air! High recommend Friendly Dolphin Swim School”

...Important message for all parents/students/guardians
- Baby might not be immediately happy in the water and usually need a lot of coaxing, loving focused encouragement without any pressure.
- Always keep in mind that the progressions for babies and toddlers is slow. Keep the goals in long term while enjoying the short and long term benefits of early swimming. The focus should first be put on mutual enjoyment.
- Avoid putting pressure on the achievement and embracing quick results. Both of which are actually counter productive for all swimming lessons.
- Create a pleasurable associations when the babies are exposed to water even if they cries. Be mindful not to display negative reactions and words when they cries or jump into conclusion that they do not like water.
- Be positive, parents who are not confident in water can still help their babies in the learning to swim process, it is a good positive step!
- Avoid snacking before going into swimming pool, the snacks can be consumed after swimming.
- Parents have to take close eyes and watch that the babies do not drink too much water during the lessons. This will avoid water intoxication and is usually very rare for a 30 minutes sessions of different exercises.
