It will be good for parents/guardians to be in the pool for both baby and toddler swimming lessons. Babies and toddlers between the age group of 1-4 will be more receptive, less scared and more willing to try swimming activities.
As they are in different categories, we recommend conducting the class separately. We will suggest a back to back lesson for your children. The swimming sessions plans used for babies, toddlers, and kids swimming lessons are different.
Friendly Dolphin Swim School does not advise toddlers joining kids groups as kids categorized 5 years old and above follow a different curriculum. Toddlers at age 4, and below might not be so receptive to instructions.
They might not follow the class as well, therefore, slowing both the pace for learning to swim progression.
Decisions still lie 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.

“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”
