Baby swimming: fun and safety in the water for the little ones!

In the Lienz Dolomite bath, the water for the little ones runs! On February 25, 2025, Lara and her daughter Mia, together with numerous other families, came to the popular baby swimming course "Goldfish". While the parents had prepared their bathing suits and baby seats, a happy song was greeted. "We sing so that the children have fun," explains Tanja Goller, one of the course instructors. Here, where a maximum of twelve babies splash at the same time, the little ones experience the joy of water in a playful way, while their mothers and fathers offer them the necessary security. The units consist of a wide variety of exercises that range from a relaxed, splashed dive to the first self-rescue attempts on the edge of the pool.

The trainers Tanja and Elisabeth use dolls for demonstration and introduce parents to the special type of water habituation. This goes beyond mere splashes and promotes the motor and social skills of the babies. The children are gradually used to the element of water, they learn to hold on and develop the feeling for the water area. At the end of the course everyone is gathered with a last singing circle before the happy families go back home to wait for the next appointment in April, as dolomitenstadt.at reported.

Not only in Lienz you know how to introduce babies into the water! The baby and toddler swimming courses in Berlin offer special interest that the motor skills and balance of the little ones are also promoted here. In the Berliner Kinder-Schwimmschule Babies learn to deal with water up to 1.5 years in a playful way and develop their skills to move independently in the element while the parents are at your side. Here, the first basics of swimming are laid here through targeted exercises, such as jumping from the edge of the pool and small diving adventure.
