In this book, Françoise Freedman shares the knowledge and expertise that led her to develop Aqualight: the leading school for teaching babies to swim. Immersing your baby is completely safe when done correctly through a gentle and progressive approach. Aqualight water training is a sequence-based programme. Each sequence is self-contained and offers parents scope for further practice. Skills and strengths are gradually developed through sequences unique to each child. Babies can start from as young as ten weeks, and additional techniques, with and without swimming aids, address the needs of toddlers up to two-and-a-half years old.
