Why Swim Lessons Matter for Kids

Swimming is a vital life skill that promotes safety, fitness, and fun. For children, swim lessons build physical coordination and water confidence early on. For adults, learning to swim can increase fitness, reduce anxiety about water, and open new recreational opportunities.

At Buckler Aquatics, we understand every learner is unique. Our lessons are adaptable to meet your individual goals, whether it’s learning basic strokes, improving technique, or training for competitive swimming.

How We Help Toddlers and Kids Learn to Swim

Our Buckler Tad Program is specifically designed for toddlers, and its badge certification prepares your child for success in the Life Saving Society Learn to Swim Program.

Our instructors and facilities follow strict safety measures and bring enthusiasm to every lesson, preparing toddlers for vital life skills.

We help young swimmers adapt to the water and progress by teaching the fundamentals of swimming, including:


  • Building Trust and Confidence – Our highly trained and patient instructors know how to build trust with students. We begin by helping them feel comfortable getting their faces wet—partially submerging their mouths and noses, taking a deep breath, and holding it for a short time.


  • Breath Control – Students learn to breathe in and out through their mouths and exhale underwater, an essential step for developing swimming skills.


  • Breathing Underwater – This skill focuses on submerging the face and nose in the water and exhaling through the mouth while underwater.


  • Submerging – Using the poolside edge for support, children practice holding their breath and fully submerging in the water.


  • Floating – We start with supported floating in a star shape, both prone and supine. Gradually, we remove the support and teach them how their body’s buoyancy helps them float. Although challenging for some, our instructors help students relax and rest their heads comfortably in the water.


  • Regaining Standing – After floating freely, children learn to stand by bending their knees, using their arms for leverage, and placing their feet on the pool floor. This skill is a significant confidence booster.



  • Push and Glide – The final step before formal swimming lessons, this teaches students to push off from the poolside into a streamlined position to move efficiently through the water.


Our team is always available to assist you before, during, and after your lessons.
