We understand the importance of equipping your child with the right tools for a successful swimming journey 🌊Something we often advocate for is making your baby feel the most comfortable in the water. One piece of equipment that is helpful for this is swim goggles. However, it’s important to recognize that different age groups require different considerations when it comes to using swim goggles 🤿 We just wrote a blog post all about this topic : https://watermellow.ca/blog/the-power-of-swim-goggles 🫧

Are Puddle Jumpers Safe for Kids? 🤔🌊
Surprisingly, they aren't. Here's why:
🚫 Hinders Swimming Skill Development
🛑 Keeps Kids in a Dangerous Vertical Position
😱 Creates a False Sense of Security
Instead, opt for:
🏊♂️ Early Swim Lessons
🛟 Proper Life Jackets
👀 Constant Supervision
Ensure your child's water safety! 🌊 We discuss this topic in depth in our newest post over on our blog, read more linked in our bio! 🏊♂️👶

Are you ready for a gentle start to your baby’s swim journey? 🌟
At Watermellow, we believe in a nurturing approach to introducing your baby to the water. We don’t believe in “dunking”—we prefer gentle progressions to help your little one feel comfortable and confident underwater, so they can grow a love for the water that is long lasting.
Our online, one-on-one swim lessons can be done in the bath (for babies aged 3 weeks to 9 months) or in the pool (for babies aged 3 weeks to 36 months). 🏊♂️
There’s sometimes some worry that we dive in (no pun intended) to submersions right off the bat. But that’s not the case with us. There are many skills taught to both parent and baby to make sure everyone is comfortable and prepared before we try underwater submersions.
We ensure that both you and your baby learn essential skills at a pace that feels right for you. Whether you’re feeling a bit nervous or just excited to get started, our experienced instructors are here to support every step of the way.
Your baby’s first swim should be a joyful experience that you cherish, and we’re here to make that happen. Dive in with us and discover the Swimful Way!
PS - Ready to get your summer swim on? Our summer schedule opens for registration Friday, May 24th at 3pm EST.

Wondering why we don’t teach bubbles? 🌬️
💦 In our lessons, we prioritize mouth breathing for our little learners. Mastering the art of breath-holding lays the foundation for water confidence. Mouth breathing is so important as it teaches your child to use their tongue to close off their throat. Once they have mastered their breath control, bubbles can be incorporated as a fun element 🤿

Embrace the wiggle! 🌀
💦 It's all part of the aquatic adventure for our little ones! As they explore this new sensation, moving is their way of discovering the water. Engage their curiosity with toys and songs– because distractions make splashes even more delightful! 🛁
✨ If wiggles persist, try slow, calm movements through the water. Together, let's turn every wiggle into a water wonder! 🌈👶

From floating to flowing! 🌟 Once your little one masters the art of floating and breath control, it's time to dive into propulsion. Propulsion can be introduced in the bath and the pool! 🛁💦
Our goal is simple: empower your child to move confidently with purpose. We teach them how to move their arms and legs together to reach points of safety. With gentle verbal cues, watch them respond with joy to the exciting journey of kicking and pulling! 🏊♂️👶

Is your little one super hesitant to put their face in the water?
Not sure if your little one should use goggles?
🌊 Here’s everything you need to know. Goggles are a great tool to encourage your child to put their eyes or face in the water. Before introducing goggles, try wiping your child’s face with your hand and staying calm. If it’s stopping them from putting their face in the water then give goggles a try! 💦
Let's turn those hesitant moments into joyful dives together!

Dive deep into more advanced skills with Deep Diving! 🌊
✨ This skill goes beyond the surface, teaching swimmers self-control, precise body positioning, and breath control. 🤿
💙 Your child will learn to master the art of a calm 3-second submersion, and eventually using kicks and pulls to return on the water's surface. 🏊♂️💦
It's not just about swimming; it's about recovering at various points of safety after being underwater!

Get ready for the next level of water exploration with Pop-Up Breathing! 🌊
💨 Once your little one is comfortable with submersions, it's time to take a breath of fresh air – literally! 🤿✨
Pop-Up Breathing involves a quick lift of the head to take a deep breath after a submersion, building confidence and water safety skills. We typically introduce this aquatic milestone around 15 months old. 🐳

It Started with a Mom.
Even though she was young, teaching her two children to swim gave Kaylee and her babies a relationship she never thought was possible. With that confidence, Kaylee Kennedy perfected K&K Swim School’s renowned method of teaching babies to swim in the pool.
In March of 2020, the pandemic forced the closure of K&K Swim School’s facilities, halting her swimmer’s progress in the water. With experience in teaching fundamental in-water skills to her own babies in the bathtub, Kaylee created K&K’s Online Baby Swim Lesson curriculum.
Building a strong relationship with her children in the water is what allowed Kaylee to work past the struggles of Postpartum Depression and build a long-lasting bond with her children. Juggling motherhood with entrepreneurship, Kaylee relates to many mothers around the world. The convenience of teaching your own baby to swim from home, either in the bathtub or backyard pool, while maintaining the quality of a K&K Swim School lesson was important to her.
With teaching thousands of swimmers in Canada, Kaylee and her team are excited to officially be teaching swimmers from around the world.
