Effective Learn To Swim Programme For 4 Months To 4 Years Old

Every baby & toddler has the potential to become a Water Baby.

The sooner a child discovers the freedom of buoyancy and underwater swimming, the more relaxed and independent he or she will become.

Swimming lessons at an early age helps in their physical, social and emotional development. It also helps them to prepare for proper swimming and leads them to a healthy lifestyle! In addition, research shows early swimming also helps a young child in a growing sense of self-esteem, confidence and independence.

Our aquatic specialists are committed to ensuring a comfortable learning experience for you and your child. We have specially designed our syllabus in a step by step manner to cater to young children’s ability. Join us now for the fun journey, witness every stage of your child’s growth!

What Are Babies Going To Learn? 

Stage 1: Water Familiarisation

Children will learn how to explore in and around the water safely.

Stage 2: Breath Control

Children will learn how to hold their breath when verbal and kinesthetic trigger is given.

Stage 3: Trauma-Free Submersion

Children will develop confidence in submerging underwater and discover the freedom of buoyancy.

Stage 4: Free Floating

Children will learn how to float without assistance to the ledge of pools or between adults.

Stage 5: Propulsion

Children will learn basic hand paddling and leg kicking action to move around in the water.

Stage 6: Independency

Children will learn how to swim between adults, grabbing shirts to pull themselves up, turn and swim back to the ledge and get out of the pool, all by themselves.

Our Baby & Toddler Swimming Program

With years of teaching experience since 2007, Happy Fish has developed a highly effective teaching system that has successfully taught thousands of children how to swim with confidence. Following an engaging and fun curriculum, one can expect a pleasant learning experience which produces tangible results.

Classes at Happy Fish are running perpetually with no fixed term, in order to develop a good consistent routine in our students. This also enables them to be able to minimise disruption, while promoting progression. Every stage is expected to last about 1 to 2 terms (10-20 lessons), with some of the key milestones being:

 

  • Beginner Stage: Submerge & float comfortably 
  • Intermediate Stage: Swim a short distance
  • Advance Stage: Swim independently for long distance

Indoor Heated Swimming Pool

 

Our Indoor Heated Pools are running on high-quality salt chlorinator combined with UV system. UV is the non-chemical technology used by New York City to purify drinking water. The results are equally impressive in swimming pools. You’ll enjoy a pool that is safe and healthy. UV does the heavy lifting which lowers chlorine demand up to 90%. Bacteria and other disinfection by-products are safely eliminated.

We maintain pool temperature at 30-32 Celsius during lesson time, so be assured to enjoy warm crystal clear water. Say goodbye to shivers, stinging eyes, dry hair and skin!

FAQs

What is the minimum age for infants to take part?
Our programme is suitable for babies from 4 months old onwards. Any babies younger than 4 months old is welcome to register for their slots first.
How long is it going to take for my baby to learn to swim?
Every child is unique and therefore it is very difficult to say how long they will take to learn. There may be some that start out slow, but later progress really quickly at the later stages. As a simple guideline, we expect them to start picking up about 4-6 months after they become comfortable with the water.
Do I need to be in the water with my child?
Yes, parents are required to join their babies for swimming lessons. After all, you are your baby’s best teacher! Our instructor will guide you on how to teach your babies to swim. This allows the baby and parents to have fun together. Your babies will also have a sense of security.
What do I need to bring for the lessons?
Bring along your baby’s wetsuit, swim diapers and baby’s favourite waterproof toys.
I couldn't find my answer.
Please email your enquiries to info@happyfish.my, we will be in touch with you soon. Alternatively, you can also send a Whatsapp or call us at 012-7792771. We are available every day, 9am-6pm.
Can I group my 12 months old baby with 3 years old toddler together?
As they are in different categories, we recommend to conduct the class separately. We will be using different syllabus for Infant and Toddler Swim Lessons.
What is the age range for toddler?
Children aged between 2 to 4 years old would be considered under the Young Toddlers’ category.

Can Babies Swim?!This cute video is for parents or future parents!

Not everyday do you see babies learning how to swim and interacting with water for the first time ever!

Baby swimming seems like a new field and I couldn’t be happier to cover it with Jack and Jacklyn from Happy Fish Swim School in Singapore!

They have been watching Nas Daily for hundreds of days, so I’m glad we finally got to connect and make a video about their work! Thank you and keep up the good work!

那天我穿上泳衣，儿子眼睛闪亮闪亮，问：mama， is that swimsuit ? 我：Yes! Can mama swim with u today ? Yes! 儿子开心的说到 后来下了水，他就一直笑眯眯的等着我 我问： Are we ready to go underwater ? Zed：Mommy, where’s your goggles? ‘I don’t need goggles.’我说 ‘But why’ 所以我和教练成功的让他尝试下水不带goggles❤️ 真的，之前花了无尽的婆说，今天看到妈妈不带，轻松的就被说服（最后一张哦）爸爸妈妈的榜样真的很重要❤️ #当然后来儿子也发现戴上会看的比较清晰 #代价是 #mamaiwantutoswimwithmethenexttimeeverytime #第六张是我家老公吗 @jianyongtan ❤️❤️❤️ #happyfishswimschool

#tbt# One of the activities i signed #happyAJ & #happyAlexa up for are swimming classes with @jianyongtan @happyfishswimschool and i am so glad to have done that!! 😍 Strongly recommended for kids who are scared of going underwater initially, Coach Jianyong is just so patient and nice! 🤗 Even though i am busy filming and nanny daddy @alextien ❤️ had to bring the kids to the classes most of the time, i know they are definitely in good hands. 👍 Only takes the second lesson for #happyAJ to go underwater without any protest! 🎉🙌🏻 We will be back again for sure! Thanks so much Coach Jianyong! 🥰 #swimmingclassesforkids #notafraidofwateranymore #happymummy #mysunshine #myjoyandhappiness #throwback #whenwewereback
