What Your Toddler Will Learn: Our Progression Stages
Stage 1
Water Confidence
- Through guided play and coach support, your toddler learns to enter and exit safely, splash, move, and submerge briefly.
The focus is on trust and enjoyment, not technique.
Stage 2
Floating, Breath Control
& Water Safety
Once your child is more comfortable with water, we’ll start to practice floating, bubble blowing, and breath control.
We also add simple safety skills, like rolling from face-down into a back float, so they learn to recover and stay calm in the water.
Stage 3
First Swim Moments
Your toddler begins kicking, gliding, and moving short distances with support.
When ready, we introduce basic drills like flutter or breaststroke kicks to build coordination and strength.
Comfortable Progression at Your Child's Pace
Every toddler learns differently, so our coaches guide each one individually. With classes capped at six children per coach, your little one always gets the attention they need to progress confidently.

What to Bring to Your Toddler's First Lesson
- Swim diapers – pack two, in case of an accident before or during the lesson (required at the pool for hygiene).
- Regular diapers, wipes, and a wet bag – for changing after class and storing wet swimwear and towels.
- Snug-fitting swimwear, a towel, and a change of clothes – goggles too, if your child is comfortable wearing them.
- Your own swimwear – our toddler classes are parent-accompanied, so one parent should be ready to enter the water.
- A small floating toy – if your child feels nervous, something familiar like a bath toy helps them settle in.
- Arrive 10 minutes early – this gives your toddler time to settle in before the lesson begins.

Reviews from Parents with Toddlers
Frequently Asked Questions about Toddler Swimming Lessons
What is the difference between “toddlers” and “kids” group classes? Age
If your child is between 2 and 4.5 years old (based on date of birth), they will be suitable for our toddlers’ swimming class.
If your child is at least 4.5 years old, they will be suitable for our kids’ swimming class.
Class size
For our toddlers’ swimming class, we limit the class size to a maximum of 6 students.
For kids’ swimming classes, we follow the SwimSafer guideline, with a maximum of 10 students per class at ActiveSG pools and 8 students at Isplash @ The Chevrons.
Syllabus
We follow a syllabus designed explicitly for various age groups.
What is the main goal of the toddler swimming programme?
Are parents required to participate in the lessons?
For toddlers’ swimming classes, we require at least one parent to accompany their child to the pool for the first few lessons to reduce their anxiety.
We do not require parents to be in the pool for the kids’ swimming class.
What curriculum is followed for the lessons?
What is the coach-to-student ratio?
My toddler is afraid of the water. Can they still join?
Yes, absolutely. It is very common for toddlers to feel cautious or fearful at the start. Our coaches ease them in gradually through play-based activities, never forcing anything. The goal in early lessons is simply building comfort and trust with the water.
For children who are more resistant, parents may bring a small floating toy, such as one used during bath time. Familiar items can help them feel safer and more willing to participate.
Toddlers have short attention spans. How do you keep them engaged?
Our toddler lessons are designed around movement, games, and simple water activities. At this age, children learn best when the lesson feels like play, so we keep the activities short, purposeful, and engaging.
From time to time, when a child is ready, our coach may guide parents to step back briefly or observe from the side. In our experience, some toddlers focus better and become more independent when given a little space.
What happens if my toddler cries or has an off day?
It happens, and it is completely okay. Toddlers can have good days and difficult days in the pool. Our coaches are experienced in reading each child’s mood and adjusting the lesson accordingly.
Sometimes this means slowing down, changing the activity, or simply giving the child time to settle. We do not push through distress. The aim is to help your child build confidence at a pace they can accept.
