1.BABIES & TODDLERS (6-36 MONTHS)
The
sooner your child starts learning to swim, the faster your child will feel
comfortable in the water and learn how to stay safe in an aquatic environment.
At aquaDucks, children can
start learning to swim from the age of six months. In our Babies & Toddlers
(Duckling) programme, babies and toddlers are encouraged to feel at ease in the
water and at the same time learn breath control and how to swim back to the
wall for their safety. Accompanied with songs and games, we create a fun and
educational environment that leaves smiles on the little ones’ faces.
The aim of this programme is
for every child to feel happy and be safe in the water.
The Babies & Toddlers programme
is a parent-accompanied class conducted under the professional guidance of our
friendly and experienced swim coaches.
The Duckling programme is
ideal for children between the age of 6 to 36 months.
