Baby Swimming Lessons at Silver Lake at Columbia Athletics Club

Our Water Babies world, Oceans of Imagination, is an immersive swimming experience where little ones learn a skill for life. You’ll be guided by our team of Swimvincibles, on your own, individual swimming adventure, tailored to your needs. Every water baby will join one of our swimming superheroes, The Swimvincibles, in their Team. They’ll work towards progressing key swimming skills and collecting Water Babies Treasures along the way, with their Swimvincible Team member leading the way. This includes everything from badges and stickers to certificates, highlighting your child’s achievements as they travel through our programme.

If you’re looking for baby and toddler swimming lessons, you’ll be part of our Water Babies program. When your little one turns 4, or you’d like to join lessons at 4, you’ll join our Swimvincible program, an older swimming program for children aged 4years+.

The Swimvincibles are a team of swimming superstars, who head up our swim Teams at Water Babies. They’ll inspire and guide your baby and toddler through their swimming journey with us. Starting with Pearl for our new baby classes through to Saffi, Echo and Sculli, as you head for independent swimming and join our Swimvincible program.

A Team represents where your child is in their swimming journey with Water Babies, with our littlest water babies starting with Team Pearl, and our big water babies swimming in Team Sculli. Then, you’ll join our Swimvincible program in Team Adventurers, and swim strong and stay safe until Team Legends where you graduate from the program.

You’re a ‘Swimvincible in training’ from your very first lesson. There are four Swimvincible Teams in total, and you’ll progress through a team in a year.

As an official Swimvincible, you’ll learn to become a swimming legend from your very first lesson in our older program. There are six Teams in total, and you’ll progress through a team depending on your kid’s ability and progression.

Mystery Island weeks are a chance to have extra fun and let imaginations run wild! We have few sprinkled through the year as special events in class, with a chance to wear fancy dress and get involved in a themed lessons such as our bi-annual ‘Splashathon’ charity week.

For Water Babies customers, badges are awarded at special celebratory Island badge weeks planned into our swimming calendar. There are three spread out evenly throughout each swimming year, which are collected on the way to achieving each Team Swimvincible badge.

For Swimvincible customers, you’ll earn badges as you progress through the Teams and learn new skills. Your instructor will track your child’s progress based on their own unique swimming journey. Once you’ve completed the skills in your Team, you’ll then progress to the next level.

You get four Water Babies badges per year! There are three Island badges (Cloudfish Cove, Lighthouse Lagoon and Floating Forest) spread out evenly throughout a swimming year, which are collected on the way to achieving each Team Swimvincible badge.
