Swimming at the next level for babies

Sofie has now advanced to 'level-1 swimming' along with three other babies from her old level-0 class. The lessons are much the same although the dives are now longer and more advanced.

Sofie swimming from one edge of the pool to the other with mums help.














We do exercises which help the babies become aware of the edge of the pool as a place they can take a break.













In this photo Sofie is holding the edge all by herself.














The point of this exercise is to get babies used to floating around alone without the security of mum or dad around.












Dives are a little more advanced. This dive is supposed to simulate jumping in from the edge and turning around underwater to find the edge again.
