What Am I Signing Up For?
With over 20 years of experience in swimming, I am committed to empowering parents and guardians to coach their infants through gentle water exercises. At my swim school—Montreal’s only center offering water therapy for infants as young as two weeks—I guide families in techniques that foster emotional stability, deeper sleep, and improved feeding in babies.
Teaching infants to swim is more than a trend—it’s a powerful foundation for lifelong confidence and health. Starting from infancy, swimming can enhance coordination, build physical strength, and cultivate a love of the water that stays with a child for life. Introducing infants to water early on strengthens their natural reflexes and builds familiarity with water, reducing fear and promoting safe habits from a young age.
Swimming offers numerous benefits beyond physical fitness, helping with early cognitive development, enhancing body awareness, and stimulating social interaction. My program is specifically designed for all infants, and especially for those with psychomotor developmental delays. In the weightless environment of water, infants can exercise with ease, which promotes strength and balance as they grow. Rhythmic diving and water activities stimulate their metabolic processes, activating their body’s natural “repair mode” to support growth and healing.
Through swimming and water exercise, infants in my program:
- Experience freedom from gravity, moving effortlessly in a 3D environment,
- Enjoy learning to swim while having fun in the water,
- Benefit from exercise therapy tailored to build strength, flexibility, and resilience,
- Strengthen their immune systems, promoting greater resistance to illnesses.
The beauty of early swimming is that it benefits the whole family. I not only teach babies but also empower parents with tools to nurture a safe and joyful bond in the water. It’s a journey of growth, connection, and learning that extends beyond the pool, and I am honored to help families take those first steps toward a lifelong love of the water.
