When you take an Olympic Gold Medalist ( Bill Kirby OAM) and combine those skills with a Physiotherapist (Saskia Kirby B.Sc) and add over 40 years of combined teaching experience, you get an amazing baby and toddler swimming program!
Our Toddler & Baby Swimming program program, from 6 weeks of age onwards, is focused on teaching children the life-saving skills of swimming as early and as well as possible.
We believe the best way to teach children to swim is with fun, love and a program based on their developmental readiness and needs.
Learning to swim is a life-saving skill in the under 3 age group, and at Kirby Swim, our baby and toddler swimming lessons are focused on the skills that make our children safer around water, such as breath control, floating, kicking, turning and independence – all while developing their water confidence & water safety skills.
Our swim school believes that early swimmers are safer sooner, and with skills-focused swimming classes such as ours, your child can develop strong swimming skills in a fun and engaging way.
These lessons are conducted in a format offered nowhere else in Perth and developed by an Olympic Gold Medalist in conjunction with a physiotherapist to combine a love of swimming with knowledge of child development and learning. Beginning from 6 weeks up to 3 years, infants and toddlers at the start of their swimming journey are taught several life-saving swimming skills that are essential for water safety & water confidence.
These skills are slowly and lovingly introduced in our infant swimming lessons, baby swimming lessons and toddler swimming lessons. We create a playful environment with small class sizes when your child is ready to ensure your child has a fun yet valuable learning experience. The use of song helps us teach babies essential skills such as floating, turning back to touch, grabbing the edge, ‘falling in, ‘ kicking, and breath control. We have a maximum of 8 children per class, with each level matched for age and developmental stage.
Our swim programs are in heated pools warmed to a very comfortable 32-34 degrees and double sanitised to maintain the best water quality in Perth baby swimming lessons!
