Why are swimming lessons so important for toddlers?
Drowning is the #1 leading cause of accidental death in the U.S. among children under 5, and in most cases, it happens in just minutes – even when a caregiver is nearby. In fact:
Swimming lessons can save lives. Give your toddler the gift of swimming which lasts a lifetime!
What are survival float lessons?
Parents often ask if we teach survival float, self-rescue techniques or Infant Swimming Resource (ISR) lessons. We share the same fundamental goal as ISR - ensuring water safety - but our teaching methods differ.
ISR often uses a method called “forced back floating”, where toddlers are repeatedly submerged to trigger a floating reflex. While learning to float is valuable, this method can cause negative associations with water.
At Sunsational Swim School, we focus on teaching both floating and essential swimming strokes. This ensures toddlers can stay afloat as well as move to safety confidently.
Our experienced instructors use gentle encouragement and positive reinforcement, which helps toddlers develop water skills in a fun, nurturing environment. We’re committed to building a foundation of water confidence and lifelong enjoyment of swimming.

Benefits of swim lessons for toddlers
Toddler swimming lessons reduce the risk of drowning
A 2009 study found that children who take swimming lessons have a significantly 88% lower risk of accidental drowning. Learning to swim is essential for your kid’s safety and confidence in the water.
Swimming is a lifelong activity
Unlike many sports, swimming is something children can start at any age, and continue throughout their lives. Swim classes introduce young swimmers to a skill that is best developed early.
Swimming builds strength and endurance
Obesity is a rising problem in America, and swimming lessons for toddlers might just be the answer. Swimming is a great full-body workout that improves cardiovascular health and builds muscle strength.
Important skill for fun and safety
Swimming isn’t just about safety, it’s about enjoying the time in the water with confidence. Swim lessons teach children lifesaving skills while also helping toddlers learn to enjoy swimming for the rest of their lives.
Toddlers who swim do better in school
This might surprise parents, but studies have shown children who undertake swim lessons at an early age develop stronger cognitive and motor skills, which can help them succeed in school. This means they might do better!
A fun way to stay active and healthy
Swimming isn't just a fun activity and an important life skill, it's also a fantastic form of exercise. Non-weight bearing and able to work out every single muscle group, starting swim lessons will keep them fit until they're grown!
