Benefits of infants and toddlers learning swimming

If you are wondering how swimming benefits your infants and toddlers, please consider the following:

Heart and Lungs

  • While many are aware of the fact that swimming is great exercise, it can also be beneficial to help develop your baby’s respiratory and cardiovascular systems. In particular, swimming is known to help develop a baby’s heart and lungs.

Bonding Time

  • Swimming lessons allow for bonding time; Bonding with your babies during their early days is imperative to build a solid foundation for your baby’s future.

Boost Water Confidence

  • Rather than waiting until later in life, getting swimming lessons for your infant helps to boost water confidence, buoyancy, water safety skills, and even encourages muscle development throughout the process.

“The playing adult steps sideward into another reality; the playing child advances forward to new stages of mastery.” – Erik Erikson

At Little Fishes, we believe that the key to effective learning is intentional play and learning. While there are ample opportunities for parents today to allow their children to play freely, intentional learning is often lacking. At little Fishes, while play is still important, the programmes are also tailored to specially consider the following aspects:

Multiple intelligences: such as verbal, visual, naturalist intrapersonal, rhythmic, logical, interpersonal, kinaesthetic and mathematical intelligences

Holistic development: the programmes are specially tailored to include activities that are aimed to explore the multiple intelligences within a session so that the child will develop more holistically.

Creative and Imaginary Development

While we know that parents are the most influential persons in a child’s life, our programmes are also aimed to empower parents with skills to guide their babies in establishing patterns for learning. The Little Fishes programmes are all parent-accompanied, with a small class ratio of 1 teacher: 5 students per class. The lessons are held weekly at an optimum duration of 30 minutes per session.

Our enrichment playgroups provide an excellent head start for a holistic development of the child. At the end of the full session, your child will develop:

– Recognition of Safety

– Understanding of breathing techniques

– Language and Speech Development

– Observational and Listening Skills

– Fine Motor Skills

– Rhythm Awareness

– Sensory Awareness

– Creativity and Imagination

– Self-Confidence

– Social and Interpersonal skills

– Joy for Learning
