Signing your child up for Swim Lessons in the Ocean is one of the best ways to create lifelong memories for the whole family in Kona.
Baby & Me Swim Lessons
Baby & Me is designed for children under 4 years old who need a parent or guardian to participate. For babies, the ocean is scary at first. Because of that, our lessons are centered on building trust between parent and child while laying the foundation for independence. We aim to:
- Teach parents strategies to guide their children toward water Safety.
- Develop swim skills, including back float, front float, rolling over, and moving water into a swim.
- Help parents transition their babies into confident, independent swimmers.
We recommend introducing your baby to swimming before 9 months old, when their natural connection to water is strongest. Moms, dads, grandparents, and caretakers are all welcome—let’s rekindle that water bond together! If you’re unsure how to start, we’re here to guide you with expert instruction and compassionate encouragement.
