Babies and Toddlers

GOswim for Babies and Toddlers

Support your little one’s confidence and enjoyment of water from an early age!

Help your child become comfortable and confident in and around the water by enrolling into our Babies and Toddlers GOswim program at Whitlam Leisure Centre.

Lessons are designed for babies 6 months to 3 years, catering for infant, toddler and preschool participants attending with their parents/guardians or appropriate adult carers. Sessions are flexible and dynamic, designed with you and your baby in mind.

With a gentle introduction into the water in a safe and welcoming environment, infants can start to enjoy the water from birth. Please be aware that parents should have an understanding of water skills and safety that they can introduce to their child.

Our GOswim Babies and Toddlers program is offered as casual sessions, meaning there is no commitment to weekly sessions or lock-in terms. You can come as little or as often as you like.

No - Parents/carers will be able to stand in the water at all times during the sessions. However, it is important that parents or carers bringing their babies to the sessions must also be calm and confident in and around water.

We're happy to help our participating parents or carers learn to safely and confidently swim through our Adult Swimming Lessons program. 

When babies and toddlers repeat an action over and over, they’re starting to master a new skill and working towards strengthening their neural pathways.

Our program is amazing for familiarising your child with the water and for early childhood development.
You can get your baby prepared for swimming before you even get to the swimming pool. Use bath time at home to get your baby used to the feeling of splashing and being immersed in water.
