Tara is just learning swimming and is attending the water babies class
At ours we are holding our baby the whole time.
No dunking under water unless baby is comfortable
We start with a song and splashing in water and the babies grab water toys
they learn to float backwards with us holding them and then go forwards to grab the toys
We then do a song called motorboats and we go round in circles in the water with a kickboard and holding the baby on the kickboard, Tara loves it.
Then we put baby on the wall and sing humpty dumpty and then bring them slowly in the water, tara jumps cause she loves the water i catch her
She learns to stand in the water
She is learning also to put arms forward to reach for me and then swim towards me
We do other songs on a mat with the babies splashing kicking and then crawling/walking on the mat to the end then coming into the water
Then other songs in the water
Hope this helps.
