The Toorak Wellbeing Centre has launched a new toddler swim programme, designed to guide children aged 18 months to 3 years through their first swimming adventures.

This is a 1:1 parent-child programme, meaning each child must be accompanied by a parent or carer in the water. It’s a beautiful bonding experience – watching your child grow in confidence while you’re right there beside them, cheering every bubble and kick.

The Toorak Tots swimming programme will run each Thursday morning for 30 minutes, the ideal length for shorter attention spans and big energy bursts.

 

Class Schedule

  • 18-24 months: 8.30-9.00am

This programme will get children comfortable with water over the face and head, blowing bubbles, safe recovery from falling into the water, paddling, floating and gentle submersion.

  • 24-30 months: 9.00-9.30am

This programme will build on the above skills, whilst focusing deeper on water safety education, building confidence and progressions towards floating and kicking.

  • 30-36 months: 9.30-10.00am

This programme will further build on the above skills, whilst including kicking and arm movements, safe recovery from a fall into the water and deliberate movement towards a target.
