“Why Start Early? The Benefits of Baby and Toddler Swimming Lessons in Den Haag and Beyond”

Many parents wonder: is it really necessary to start swimming lessons when my baby is still in nappies? The short answer is yes—and here’s why. Baby and toddler swimming offers far more than just a fun day out; it supports your child’s development, safety, and long-term swimming journey in measurable ways.

Early Swimming Builds Confidence and Water Safety

When children start swimming early, they become familiar with the water environment. They learn to float, kick, blow bubbles, and hold their breath—all in a gentle, non-pressured setting. This foundation makes them safer around water, and more likely to thrive in diploma preparation classes later on.

Developmental Benefits You Can See

Swimming helps develop coordination, balance, and muscle strength, even in babies as young as three months. It’s also fantastic for cognitive development and bonding. At Cub Club, we encourage parent-child interaction in every class, strengthening your connection while boosting your baby’s sense of security.
