In this video I progress my 2 year old son from Baby swimming lessons to toddler swimming lessons. He has now been learning for the last few months when we have found time to go to the swimming pool so is really familiar with going underwater and learning to swim. When teaching a toddler to swim it is really important to keep the lesson fun, with more emphasis on playing in the water and safety which help to build their confidence. This swimming lesson is for beginners and those wanting to start their journey with swimming lessons for kids. I hope these swimming tips help you to teach your child how to swim.
I have been a swim teacher for 15 years and am so excited to be able to teach my son this important life skill. It is so important to start swimming lessons when they are young so their confidence can grow as they do.
Teaching a baby or toddler to swim means breaking down the fundamental skills into bite size fun activities for them to take part in. During this lesson I teach my son how to swim with songs and games. This lesson plan can be adapted for baby swimming lessons, swimming lessons for kids and swimming lessons for toddlers. Swimming lesson for beginners will build the core skills needed for their future swim journey when they learn to swim freestyle, learn how to swim underwater, learn how to swim faster and everything in between.
In this lesson we cover
How to hold your breath
How to float on your back
How to go underwater
How to jump in water
How to kick in swimming
Safety in a swimming pool
How to do a star float

What’s a good way to explain teaching breathing to other parents? I get confused on how to teach ages 2 and up breath holding

Thank you so much that is super sweet of you to say😊

@soulfullyroyalnita4446 2 года назад

Hi hun enjoying this! Your little man doing so well! Took a semester off with my little however we continued in the pool at home. All in all he’s doing well, loves the water and holds his breath well. (17 months) recently I noticed when being submerged he holds his feet any tips for this? Otherwise I still do everything I’ve learned from swim class since he was 6 months and now your helpful videos. Looking fwd to hearing from you when able thanks!

@TheSwimTeacher 2 года назад

Hi thank you for taking the time to comment…How are you submerging your little one? From the front, the side, or up and down? It could be that his body position isn’t correct or the way you may be holding him could be encouraging him to reach for his feet. Please feel free to send me a video through Instagram message if it’s easier than explaining.

@constantiawong Год назад

I can’t open my eyes underwater because I panic, do you have any tips on how to do it?

@TheSwimTeacher Год назад

So I would definitely recommend goggles… or are you wearing goggles when you say you can’t open your eyes already? Let me know and I can send some tips

@mhmadkh1184 2 года назад

It's great, I'm waiting for more. I have a 16-month-old baby who loves water a lot, but I don't have a pool. Can I teach them to swim in the bathroom bathtub?

@TheSwimTeacher 2 года назад

Hi yes you totally can. The most important thing to teach your child is how to hold their breath and put their face in the water. This can be done through conditioning (video coming soon) at 16mths. Buy some goggles this also helps with them wanting to put their faces in. Good luck and stay tuned for the new video coming in august!

@catalinalahusen5960 2 года назад

Your son Rafa is adorable and you are a great teacher 😃. I loved the video and the tips.

@TheSwimTeacher 2 года назад

Aw that you he really is such a great student to teach when he is listening

@VictoriaHeffelfinger Год назад

How do we know if they are holding their breathe if their mouth is open?

@TheSwimTeacher Год назад

Hi thanks for your comment. That is a really god question. So when they are holding their breathe, even when the mouth is open a type of air lock bubble occurs in the mouth which stops water going in. The moment they try to inhale or exhale this then pops. Try to hold your breath with your mouth closed then whilst holding your breathe try to open and close your mouth. You will see what your child experiences with their mouth open😊

@user-gh8sw8od8x Год назад

@@TheSwimTeacher is there any video to teach breath in this years old?

@TheSwimTeacher Год назад

@@user-gh8sw8od8x hi thank you for taking the time to watch my video. At this age you can still work on breath control with conditioning or even try to ask them to follow instructions like close your mouth etc. How old is your child exactly?

@phattmamaskitchen Год назад

Thank you for this video. I have a 2yr old who loves the water, but I didn't know what steps to take next. Looking forward to our next pool trip to try out these tips. Also could I adapt all these steps with older kids?

@TheSwimTeacher Год назад

Thank you for watching so glad you are going to try the techniques. These can of course be adapted for older children. How old are your older kids?

@phattmamaskitchen Год назад

@TheSwimTeacher my daughter, has advanced drastically within days. My 7yr old can hold his breath under water for 15 seconds, but isn't confident in learning how to swim. I'm just trying to find techniques and ways for him to get comfortable enough to learn the basics. Baby still just wants to have fun, too much laughing to hold her breath 🤣, but I will keep trying.

Sure no problem I hope you enjoy the videos and if you have any questions please feel free to let me know

@sbgotn1390 2 года назад

Help! I’ve been trying to condition my 23 month old to close his mouth and eyes when I pour water over his face but he’ll keep his mouth open the whole time and his eyes will shoot open while the water is still pouring. I’m teaching in a bath so I can’t have him put his mouth in the water as easily but I have a feeling if I tried, he’d still open his mouth.

@TheSwimTeacher 2 года назад

So at this age they are very good at doing the opposite of what you want. They start to assert their independence and wanting to do what they want. If your child is opening eyes and mouth but is happy keep pouring the water on their face using the trigger phrase. I would also start to try teaching them the concept of holding their breath and then closing mouth and putting it in the water. This can then be progressed to putting nose and then eyes in the water . Using goggles can also help to encourage them to want to put their faces in the water. I think this may be the way to go as the older they get the more they won’t want to have the water poured by you but rather wanting to do things themselves. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more questions 😊

@joshuabgibbs Год назад

I am going to use the conditioning, I’ve had success with other elements but need to work on underwater

@TheSwimTeacher Год назад

No problem at all hope it all goes well 😊

@soulfullyroyalnita4446 2 года назад

So as I watch towards the end I realize I submerge him from the front maybe I need to start submerging from the side to help him not pull his legs and a better float..

@TheSwimTeacher 2 года назад

Hi again, I have just realised I asked you this question on your other post. If your little one is good at holding his breath I would recommend submerging by him from behind towards a wall or another person then letting him go for a second as he floats towards the object or person. Sometimes doing this gives them something else to think about so will hopefully distract from holding onto his legs. I hope this helps please let me know if you have any questions. Good luck 😉

@soulfullyroyalnita4446 2 года назад

@@TheSwimTeacher Hi lovely thanks so much for getting back so soon I appreciate it. Today I tried just after watching your video. I have to say it was the best swim day ever. He actually kicked his feet way more and I think what helped was I kept his head lifted out the to actually see the kicks and called his name like you did with your son. You are right I make sure to also bring little toys to keep him distracted. I just can’t believe it went sooo much better today. In swim school the goal was to strive to her to 10 seconds. When he was younger he wasn’t holding his feet, now that he’s a little older he seem to get fussy at strictly 10 sec increments but still holds his breath. So today I did 5 seconds under noticed his kicks brought him up and 5 sec under again. (He seemed more happier) Once again thank you and sorry for the long post. Another thing, I agree he was able to not hold his feet perhaps because the swim teacher was assisting. I’ll still ensure I follow your tips! Have a blessed week.
