Methodology

Our baby's swim because they have a comprehensive knowledge of how their bodies move and work in the water because they are held freely. We do not condition or train babies instead we use the natural swimming reflexes that each baby is born with At Aqualight Babies we teach the techniques that stimulate these natural reflexes, turning them into conscious swimming movements.

Babies generally lose their natural swimming reflexes between 8 and 10 months of age but if babies are introduced to the water at this early stage of their development, by the time they are toddling they enjoy holding on to their parents as they swim, jump into the water, collect toys from the bottom of the pool and some are even able to swim a few metres unaided under water.
