National Baby Swimming Week 2025

What is National Baby Swimming Week?

There are many benefits for little ones to start swimming from an early age and continuing throughout their early years. The emotional, physical and psychological benefits of baby swimming not only supports their development as they grow, but helps them to learn a skill for life.​

​Not only this, but swimming supports little one’s emotional development through skin-on-skin bonding time and is a chance to play and have some fun!​

​This National Baby Swimming Week, we want to raise awareness of all the benefits early years swimming can bring, highlighting how little ones can learn to become #swimvincible through understanding how to swim safely.

This annual event encourages parents and caregivers to introduce their little ones to the joys of water and swimming in a safe and nurturing environment.
