SafeSplash Swim School - Carlsbad - The Shoppes

Our ParentTot classes welcome babies starting as early as 4 months old, all the way up to 36 months based on ability. A parent gets in the water every class, working side by side with an instructor guiding up to six parent and child pairs at once, building the foundational skills every swimmer needs later on.

As babies grow into toddlers, ParentTot 2 builds on those foundations with early stroke skills and stronger water confidence, still with a parent right there in the pool. Starting early is about giving your child time in the water before independence is even the goal, so comfort and instinct build naturally, one class at a time.

Wondering if your little one is ready? Reach out this week to get started. 🌊

One family has watched their baby's water confidence grow month by month. 💙

That's exactly what Baby Safety Month is about: starting early, staying consistent, and watching comfort turn into skill over time. Progress at this age is steady, and it's worth celebrating!

💧👶 Is your babysitter water safety educated?

The National Drowning Prevention Alliance (NDPA) created a Caregiver Water Safety Checklist to help parents and caregivers understand the steps needed to keep kids safer in and around water.

We’ve partnered with NDPA to help raise awareness about drowning prevention and share resources that empower families and caregivers with the right knowledge.

Swim diaper questions come up in nearly every parent orientation, so let's settle it here.

A good swim diaper should fit snugly at the legs and waist without leaving red marks, and reusable swim diapers tend to hold up better across multiple classes than disposables. Avoid anything baggy, since it won't contain accidents and can affect a baby's movement in the water.
