Finding the right swimming lessons for young kids can feel like a big decision. Every child is different. Some are excited to jump straight in, others need a bit more time to feel comfortable in the water.
At Kerry Barreiro Swim School, we run swimming lessons for children from 2.5 years old, with classes between 8:30am and 3:30pm. The focus is on giving young kids a calm, positive introduction to the water.
Our approach is gentle and patient. Parents aren’t in the pool during lessons, but they stay close by. In the early stages, you’ll help paddle your child’s feet while they sit on the edge until they’re ready to join the teacher. It’s a simple way to help them feel safe while they build trust and confidence.
We take things one step at a time, allowing each child’s confidence and trust to grow naturally. The aim isn’t to rush them — it’s to help them feel comfortable, capable and happy in the water.
Many of the children who come to us are a little unsure about the water at first, and that’s completely okay. With time, patience and encouragement, we help them find their confidence.
Children who enrol in our preschool swimming classes are eligible to go on our waitlist for our after school and weekend classes.
