Welcome to SWIMBABES.tm. We are Specialists in Infant/Toddler Swim Survival Safety.tm. SWIMBABES .tm is a smaller, unique and specialized swimming school that has served the Portland area for 3 generations. The goal of our swimming school is to serve those who are in greatest need of our specialized training for their children; parents who have back yard pools, hot tubs, live on lakes, rivers, streams, boaters and or those parents who have a great deal of concern about water safety for their little one.
Swim Survival Safety is a unique methodology that trains infants, toddlers and preschoolers to rotate to their backs and sustain afloat independently after falling or walking in to water above their head. This is their first foundational skill in learning to swim. Most children earn their first blue ribbon for learning this lifesaving skill in their first 12 lessons!
After mastering this life saving maneuver, students are then taught to float for a full 5 minutes fully clothed. These 2 foundational skills lead to early acceleration and mastery of swimming skills. Many of our 2's can swim the width of the pool and many of our 3 and 4 year olds can do all four strokes.
SWIMBABES.tm is the only swimming school and facility specializing in Survival Safety for infants and toddlers in the Pacific Northwest. We offer a private setting for classes where only one class is in the pool during any given class time! This allows the instructor the ability to keep children on task and focused without the excess noise and confusion. It also allows us the opportunity to really get to know our parents and babies without a lot of outside distractions.
Our instructors are some of the most qualified and highly trained professionals in the baby and toddler swimming industry. Instructors who teach in our center must be with our program a minimum of 1 year to be considered to be taken in to our training program to teach beginning lessons to ages 2 and older.
Only Master trainers are qualified to teach babies under age 24 months of age. Currently, our Master Trainers at the Portland area SWIMBABES center are not only some of the most experienced specialists in Portland, but in the entire nation.
We specialize in classes for newborns, babies, toddlers, and preschoolers while also offering beginning and advanced classes for school aged children.
