Welcome to Infant Aquatics® CT, home of THE KIDS' SWIM WHISPERER
Survival Swimming for infants and young children between the ages of 6 months to 6 years.

TEACHING MY BABY HOW TO SURVIVE IN THE WATER  -  PRICELESS!


Can my baby really swim?

The answer is YES!
The Kids' Swim Whisperer is a leading source for infant and child aquatic survival instruction and swim classes in Connecticut.  Infants as young as 6 months can learn to roll over from a face down position in the water onto their backs to float, rest and breathe (the survival back float).  Young children and toddlers are able to learn a more advanced sequence of swimming face down, rolling onto their backs to breathe, and returning to swim face down again (the swim-float-swim sequence).

The Facts about Potential Water Dangers:

Children are naturally drawn to water without understanding its potential dangers.  Countless children drown or suffer permanent injury every year because of avoidable accidents.  Drowning is a silent killer than can occur in seconds!

A parent would never allow their child to play in the street.  However, if there were no cars coming, that child would be perfectly safe.  On the other hand, if an untrained child plays in the water alone, chances for survival are slim.  It is critically important that parents understand the risks of introducing their child to the water before the child knows how to save his/her own life.  Before signing your baby up for swimming lessons or mommy & me classes, please ask yourself how your child would react if he/she fell into the water alone.

Although no child can be made "drown-proof", children who possess
 basic survival swimming skills have a significantly higher chance of surviving an aquatic accident.  The goal of Infant Aquatics CT and The Kids' Swim Whisperer team is to provide your child with these life-saving skills.


Why Infant Aquatics CT?

(1) Infant Aquatics CT goes beyond traditional swimming lessons by ensuring that infants, toddlers and young children are taught survival skills to help them if they reach the water alone. Swimming is not a natural instinct for humans; it is a skill that must be learned and practiced.

(2) See results in weeks, not years!

(3) At the end of lessons, your child will be able to successfully demonstrate the age appropriate survival skills, including a roll from a face-down position to a face-up survival float and/or a swim-float-swim sequence.

(4) Your instructor will safely and gently guide your child through the process of learning his/her survival skills. These skills serve as a basis for a lifetime of fun, safety and enjoyment in and around the water.  Give your children the gift of swimming, so that they have the skills necessary to safely enjoy the water!

(5) Your instructor recognizes that each child progresses at a different pace, has a different personality, and is at a different stage of development and coordination.  Some will be very quick to acquire new skills while others, who may have a fear of water or who have learned ineffective behaviors in the water, may take a little more time.  Personality also plays a key factor in learning.  Our instructors will not rush a child, nor allow the parents to do so. 

(6) We offer group classes that expose your children to exciting new ways to enjoy the water while practicing swimming with similarly aged and skilled children.  This is also a great time for parents to get in the pool and have FUN with their little swimmers!
