Introducing your baby to water can be one of the most rewarding experiences — but it can also feel a little overwhelming. At Bubble’n’Kick Swim School in Forest Glen, our parent-assisted classes are designed to make this journey safe, fun, and confidence-building for both you and your little one.
What Are Parent-Assisted Swimming Lessons?
Parent-assisted lessons are specially designed for babies from 3 months up to around 3 years old, where a parent or caregiver is actively in the water with their child. This close connection:
Builds a sense of security for your baby
Encourages positive early water experiences
Strengthens the bond between parent and child while learning essential water skills
Why Start Swimming Early?
Early exposure to water has multiple benefits for babies:
Confidence in the water: Babies learn to feel comfortable and safe in aquatic environments
Coordination and motor skills: Gentle movements in water help develop muscle strength and balance
Early water safety awareness: Even at a young age, children can begin learning basic survival and floating skills
Fun and engagement: Positive experiences build a love of water that lasts a lifetime
What Happens in a Parent-Assisted Lesson?
At Forest Glen, our parent-assisted sessions focus on play-based learning, including:
Gentle water introduction and familiarisation
Floating, kicking, and submersion activities at the baby’s pace
Encouraging movement and coordination in the water
Introducing early water safety skills in a supportive, calm environment
These sessions are structured in small groups, with a maximum of 4 babies per class, ensuring each child and parent gets personalised attention.
Benefits of Parent-Assisted Lessons
Parent-assisted classes provide more than just swimming:
Strengthen the parent-child bond through shared experiences

Teach early water survival awareness safely and gently
Prepare children for progression into independent swimming lessons as they grow
