Your baby's first class

From the front door to the water, in four steps

Every class follows the same shape, so a first class feels like the second.

Book a first classSee the age stages

  1. Step 1: Arrive and rinse

    Come a few minutes early. Shoes go in the cubbies, and you and your baby rinse at the showers before the pool.

  2. Step 2: Get in together

    You get in by the steps, where the water is shallow and warm. The instructor is on the step beside you and shows you how to hold your baby.

  3. Step 3: Songs, floating and play

    For 30 minutes we sing, float with support, splash and move through the water together. If your baby has had enough, we get out and try another day.

  4. Step 4: Out, warm and dry

    Wrap up in a towel and sit down in the studio beside the pool for a quiet minute before you head home.

In the water

Songs, a circle and an instructor on the step

Every class opens with a hello song while everyone sits on the step. Then we float, splash and play with toys, and the instructor shows each grown-up how to hold and support their child.

  • A hello song and a goodbye song

  • Floating with support

  • Toys to reach for and pour

What to bring

Three things from home

  • A swim diaper under 3

    A snug swim diaper under a swim shirt or a swimsuit, and a spare in your bag.

  • A swim shirt, if you like

    Swim shirts are welcome on everyone, grown-ups included. Tie long hair back.

  • A towel for each of you

    And a warm layer for afterward. We have cubbies for shoes and hooks for towels.

    The second class is like the first, with the same instructor, the same songs and a bit more time in the water. Your place is held for the six weeks.
