Baby swimming
Baby swimming at Schildkrötli Swimmers GmbH: Experience the joy of water together!
Water is a fascinating element – especially for the little ones! At Schildkrötli Swimmers GmbH, we do everything we can to introduce babies to the joy of water and to support them in their development. Our baby and toddler courses from around 5 to 18 months offer a playful and loving opportunity to spend valuable time together and strengthen the bond between caregiver and child.
Why baby swimming?
Baby swimming is more than just splashing around – it’s a unique experience that nurtures body and mind. The warm water relaxes, can relieve stomach cramps and prepares you for a peaceful, deep sleep. The three-dimensional movement activity in the water and the numerous perceptual experiences support the child’s motor development. The differences in temperature strengthen the immune system and the physical affection strengthens the emotional bond.
Course content: Playfully discover the world of water
Our baby swimming courses include:
- Promotes gross and fine motor skills: the movement in the water and the resistance strengthen muscles and coordination.
- Strengthening the respiratory muscles: The water resistance supports breathing and contributes to better lung development.
- Freedom of movement thanks to hand grips: Various hand grips provide safety and promote freedom of movement for babies.
- Playful learning: With songs, verses and creative themes such as ‘Globi on the farm’, ‘Circus’ or ‘Zoo’, babies and parents are immersed in an imaginative world.
- Basics of breathing technique: After about 1.5 to 3 years, the children begin to learn a correct breathing technique, e.g. submerging.
Creative course design with heart and soul
Our course instructors ensure that every swimming lesson is a special experience. With lovingly selected materials, exciting stories and imaginative themes, we organise the lessons in a varied and creative way. This variety not only inspires the babies, but also provides enthusiasm and joy for the parents.
Time together in the water
One parent per child actively accompanies the baby in the water, while additional accompanying adults are welcome to watch. The interaction in the water creates trust and strengthens the bond – a special experience for everyone involved.
An experience for the whole family
Our baby swimming programme is not only a valuable contribution to your child’s development, but also an opportunity to share unforgettable moments together. Joy, laughter and a shared sense of achievement always take centre stage.
