About classes

Classes in our Baby Swimming School are aimed at children from 6 weeks (1.5 months) to 15 years old and take place in a cosy pool with warm water (temperature 32°), which is part of the modern sports infrastructure of the Alexander Ostrovsky Academy. The pool is new and clean with warm, pure water.

Certified coaches teach children to swim according to the international Birthlight method in small groups (up to 7 children) in a playful way. The duration of the lesson is 45 min. We strive to help babies and their parents to feel relaxed in the water and enjoy the fun of the joint lessons. With us, you can not only improve your child's health and develop their motor skills but also learn to interact with them in a loving, trusting and fun environment.

The following classes are held at the Baby Swimming School in Khimki:

Babies up to one year - Infant Swimming (0 to 1 year)

For infants from 6 weeks old with their mother. The classes are held in a playful way, with the mother the baby feels calm and secure. Newborns still have an underwater reflex, they feel at ease in the water. The earlier the child starts swimming, the easier it will be for him to learn to dive and swim underwater.

Toddlers 1-3 years old - Baby swimming for children from 1 to 3 years-old

Baby swimming with training in a special programme in a playful way. Classes are held together with the mother. Experienced instructors find an approach to each child. Children quickly get into the game and start to swim without noticing.

Children 3 and over

Children’s swimming for children from 3 to 7 years-old

Children attend classes together with their mother. The international Birthlight methodology we follow is not just about safely teaching water skills. It is about swimming together, socialising, and building a strong bond between parent and child.

Recreational swimming/freediving for children from 5 to 15 years-old

Freediving is diving while holding your breath. During the lessons we do not only do physical training but also work on our sensations in the water, learn to "listen" to our body, and form a "sense of water". We teach to dive correctly and technically, to move underwater, to breathe correctly before and after diving, to observe safety when diving, and most importantly, to enjoy being in the water.

Aqua yoga for pregnant women

Classes for mums who are expecting a baby. Aqua yoga for pregnant women helps to strengthen the necessary muscles and at the same time relaxes well, and removes clamps. Classes are conducted by experienced certified trainers.
