Baby Swimming – General Information

What do we do in our baby swimming programs?

The baby and toddler swimming programs of Family Athletic Club Ydria focus on adapting to water and learning the basic skills of swimming, and include lifesaving and rescue instructions for parents and children.

In our programs we place great emphasis on the personality of each child, to create a positive climate without pressure and focus on learning based in play. Each teacher configures the educational program according to the character and abilities of the young students, and each child is treated as unique.

To achieve this goal, the participation of parents/attendees is very important, since they are actually helping the child to learn under the guidance of experienced and qualified coaches.

Baby swimming lessons start from the age of 6 months and take place once a week for half an hour.

Each group includes 5-8 children with their parents and always features an instructor in the pool.

Toddlers from the age of 30 to 36 months and older enter the pool on their own and join the group with the presence and supervision of an instructor in the pool.
