We have 2 different types of swimming lessons/water therapies
1) Swimming Lessons
Parents and children 2 months old to 6 years old. We specialize in building children’s confidence in and love for the water. Swimming skills such as skulling, jumping in, swimming underwater, different strokes, can be acquired quite naturally if a love for and confidence with water occurs. Children are able to mimic the instructor and follow instructor instructions, with assistance and floatation devices as required (though we do swimming skills without floatation devices as well).
$75 + HST per 45-minute lesson, $100 + HST per 60-minute Private swimming lesson. Parent is welcome to (and encouraged to) come in the water and be hands on or watch from the sidelines. This may be discussed based on the needs and temperament of the child. Parent and tot classes or one-on-one, special needs and inclusive care, in Collingwood and Etobicoke areas. Classes available in your pool, or a community pool.2) Swimming for Pregnancy and Fetal Positioning
This is a holistic, primarily hands-off, swimming and floatation support offering specifically designed for parents/women who are trying to get their baby into an optimal position for labour/birth. Swimming as well as certain yoga and movement sequences can help avoid posterior, transverse, or breech positioning, though there is no guarantee. Check with your midwife or doctor to determine the location of your baby and your placenta before trying swimming and Spinning-Babies inspired positioning in or out of the water. These swimming "lessons" are guided/supported by our doula/swim coach. We are CPR/first-aid trained and strong swimmers, with an understanding of the rich therapeutic benefits of cold water and warm water immersion, especially for prenatal pain/discomfort, and labour coping/relief. $120/1-hour swimming session. In pool or the Bay. Collingwood and surrounding areas. Also available in Etobicoke.
