About Infant Aquatics CT in Ansonia, CT
At Infant Aquatics CT, we have developed a unique, research-based program to teach infants, toddlers, and young children the vital skills of survival swimming and floating. Our program goes beyond traditional swimming lessons by ensuring that children can master the skills necessary to survive if they ever reach the water alone. With the right instruction, your child will be able to demonstrate age-appropriate survival skills, including a roll from a face-down position to a face-up survival float and/or a swim-float-swim sequence.

SURVIVAL FLOATING FOR INFANTS UNDER 1 YEAR
Students who are rolling (generally 6-8 months) through about 12 months will learn survival floating. S/He will be taught to rotate from a face-down position in the water to a back float. The baby will be taught to rest and breathe on his/her back until help arrives. After accomplishing these skills in a bathing suit, children will then practice their skills in summer clothing and then progress onto winter clothing.

SWIM-FLOAT-SWIM 1-4 Years
A child who is walking or very close to walking (usually anytime after 12 months to 3 years) will learn the swim-float-swim sequence. Children will learn to swim a short distance with their faces fully submerged, to roll onto their backs to float and rest whenever they need to breathe, and to flip back onto their tummies to continue to swim to safety. After accomplishing these skills in a bathing suit, children will then practice their skills in summer clothing and then progress onto winter clothing. This additional work is critical to survival swimming because most children who find themselves in the water alone are fully clothed.

SWIM-FLOAT-SWIM 4 Years +
Older children will also learn a swim-float-swim sequence. However, since they have more stamina and longer attention spans, their private one-on-one lessons are 20 minutes long. S/He will be taught to swim face down using arms and legs (similar to a freestyle stroke); roll onto his/her back to float, rest and breathe when s/he needs air; and then flip over onto his/her stomach to continue swimming until s/he reaches the wall or stairs. This swim-float-swim sequence can be repeated as many times as is necessary to reach safety.
