Our method of infant and toddler swim lessons is superior to other programs because it is tailored to each child's individual developmental stage. This helps them reach their maximum potential and learn more effectively. Holy Mackerel Infant Aquatics starts by teaching babies to float. If a baby can roll from front to back on the ground (often accomplished at 6 months of age), they are capable of doing the same in the water. Once a child is walking, they can understand that moving their legs helps them get places, so they can learn to swim and float. It's all about building on the skills they already have in order to promote further development.
