Baby Swimming

We begin building a positive relationship with water by helping the child get familiar with it through joyful play, songs and rhymes. Baby swim classes are a shared activity for the whole family.

Skill requirement: No previous swimming experience is required for either the baby or the participating adults. Designed for babies aged 3–12 months and the adults joining them in the water (such as parents, grandparents or other trusted adults). Up to two adults can participate with one baby.

Please note — These children’s swimming lessons are taught in Finnish.

The goal of baby swim classes is to support the baby’s motor development through safe and enjoyable swim sessions for the whole family.

Baby swim classes can be attended more than once, as repetition is an important part of learning and familiar exercises help the baby develop safely in the water. Activities can be adapted and made more challenging as the baby’s skills grow. Once the child turns one, swimming can continue in Family Swimming.

Each session lasts 30 minutes, including time for entering the pool area and the handing out of diplomas.
