Paul would like to remind everyone that parents are not permitted to take photos during the classes. Instead, Paul arranges special photo sessions where a professional photographer captures delightful moments of your baby swimming. These photos can be purchased if desired.
For those wondering about safety, it is perfectly safe for babies to go underwater. Babies have a natural diving reflex, which allows them to close their throat and prevent water from entering their airway. Paul's experienced instructors will guide parents on how to safely submerge their baby and make them feel comfortable in the water.
Classes typically run for 30 minutes, which is ideal for babies given their shorter attention spans. This ensures an engaging session without exhausting them.
Both parents are welcome to attend the classes. Paul encourages parental involvement to help build a stronger bond between the baby and both parents. Please bring swimwear for both yourself and your baby, towels, and any necessary changing equipment. It is also recommended to bring a warm blanket or robe to keep your baby cosy after the class.
Enrolling your baby in a class is straightforward. Simply visit Paul's website or contact him via email or phone to check availability and book your spot. Classes are offered on both weekdays and weekends, allowing you to choose a convenient time.
While classes are best suited for babies between 10 weeks and 12 months old when their diving reflex is strongest, Paul can discuss availability and suitability if your baby is older than 12 months.
