International Baby Swimming Teacher Week

Celebrating the people who make every splash count!

Welcome to the home of the very first International Baby Swimming Teacher Week. 

International Baby Swimming Teacher Week is a new global celebration dedicated to recognising the incredible teachers who introduce babies and toddlers to the water.

Every week, thousands of teachers help families experience the joy, connection, and lifelong benefits of learning to swim. This special week is our chance to say thank you — to the people who teach with patience, passion and purpose.

The Heart Behind Every Splash

Baby swimming teachers do so much more than teach a skill. They nurture confidence, trust, and a love of the water that can last a lifetime.

Through gentle guidance, songs, play, and reassurance, these teachers create safe and joyful spaces where little ones — and their parents — can thrive.

 Why We Celebrate

Teaching babies to swim is one of the most rewarding and impactful roles in early childhood development. This week is about shining a light on the teachers who make that possible — the ones who work tirelessly to ensure every family feels supported and every baby feels safe and happy in the water.

Baby swimming teachers:

• Help families build essential water safety awareness
• Support early physical, emotional, and social development
• Foster strong parent-child bonds through shared experiences
• Build community and connection through every lesson

Join the Celebration!

Throughout International Baby Swimming Teacher Week, we’ll be sharing stories, photos and behind-the-scenes moments from our amazing teaching team across the UK, Ireland and the UAE.
