About Parent & Child Swim Lessons
Why I Love Parent & Child Swim Sessions
Honestly, these classes are the highlight of my week. Watching a parent and baby share their first pool moments is something special. As a teacher and a mom, I've seen how starting together in water builds not just skills but trust and happy memories.
Starting Early, Staying Safe
- Babies can start as young as 4 months, if they can hold their head up.
- It's not just about swimming laps - it's about comfort and safety in water right from the start.
- Baby water safety skills are my top priority. These sessions really can help reduce fear and lower risks around water.
How My Sessions Go
No pressure, no tears. Every class is baby-paced. Sometimes we sing, sometimes we just splash, sometimes baby only wants cuddles - that's fine!
- Songs and rhymes (think "Row, Row, Row Your Boat")
- Toys, games, and lots of giggles
- Play-based swim lessons: breath control, floating, holding the wall, kicking - all through play
What Parents & Babies Get Out of It
- For your child: confidence, coordination, and a real love for water
- For you: special bonding time, hands-on water confidence, and a chance to meet other parents
No Swimming Experience? No Problem
You don't need to be a swimmer. The pools are shallow enough to stand, and I’ll show you everything - how to hold, support, and cheer them on. Your presence is what matters most.
Details That Matter
- Lessons happen in your building or home pool (Mumbai only)
- Swim diaper for baby is a must, wetsuit keeps them warm
- T-shirt over your swimsuit helps baby feel secure
- Sometimes baby swallows a bit of water - totally normal, we stay calm and carry on
If you want your little one’s first swim class experience to be fun, gentle, and memorable, I’m here for it.

My Story
Hey, I’m Prateeksha – pool life is kinda my thing. I’m a swim coach, but first, I’m Azai’s mom (and Spika’s, our dog). Parenting changed how I teach, trust me, I get all the worries. Being India’s first Australian Swim Institute certified instructor, safety’s a big deal for me. But honestly, nothing beats seeing a kid float solo for the first time. When I’m not teaching, I’m usually in a pool with my family, soaking up those moments. Swimming is my world, and I love sharing it.
