We’ve had a great time at our Bathtime Babies class these past few weeks. It was extra special that The Mister was able to not only attend class but participate with Baby D. Yep, those are the two fish of the family living it up in the pool. Baby D’s favorite song/activity is the Motor Boats and he loves to practice his kicking. He even does it when he has bathtime at home.
That’s Mr. John with Baby D and The Mister. Mr John is awesome, he teaches various levels of classes for Emler, from Bathtime Babies to Aqua Tots. Emler has classes for everyone of all ages, group classes and private lessons too. You can even have a fun pool party with your friends! We’ve already signed up for Water babies class with Mr. John in the Spring.
This is the big one, the back float. Bathtime Babies is just the beginning and hopefully some time during our next level of classes, water babies, Baby D will have mastered this one. He is doing a really great job. He loves watching himself in the fun animal mirrors and it helps keep his eyes up and head back too.

Does your family love the water too? Where is their favorite place to swim and play?

This is so important!! Wish I had let my babies get comfortable with water and swimming younger….they are 2 & 5 though and are doing a little swimming. ๐
Ashley says

I wish that I would have done this with my youngest. I have put him in the pool and he isn’t afraid until we get him to lay back and float. I wanted him to learn how to float so that he isn’t afraid in the water. Other than that my son loves swimming. He loves to go under water or jump off the ledge to me.

This looks so cool. I really need to get my daughter into a swim class. It’s so important that they learn not to be afraid of water early on.

Aren’t those fantastic toys for littlies learning how to swim? I have some friends in Austin I can share this with who have babies.
Julie S. says
Ahh I wish we had something like this where we live. So cute!
Justine Y says
That’s such a great idea to have them look at their reflection while they’re floating on their backs so they keep looking up! Looks like a great class!
Holly says
This is so cute! Wish we had something like this close to us too!

My oldest son loves being in the pool and swimming around. My little one isn’t as fond, but would love some of those toys!
Lauren says
So, so cute!! I had swim lessons as a baby and I think it really made me love the water when I was older!
Laura says
He looks like he’s having so much fun in the water! You’ll never be able to keep him out!

We haven’t taken him to a formal class but Jaxon loves the water. He spends a bit of time a little freaked why there are so many people in his bath. Then realised its not the bath and gets on with it.
I loved swimming as a kid but went off it as a teenager. It became sort of a “I can swim if needed” rather than for enjoyment. I want to try and get Jaxon in love with swimming before he gets too old so that it’s just something he’s always done.

Looks like a fun baby class. My husband is a swimmer so he’s had our daughter in the pool since she was little.

This is so important. My cousin who is 14 is still terrified of water.
