Pool noodles are used to help build confidence in our Penguin infant swimming lessons in Mackay. It enables infants to move around the pool independently in a more gross motor way as well as encouraging separation from parents. Im sure you’re not surprised to hear that this frequently ends with the parent chasing the child around the pool 😀. It is a fun and interactive way for infants to become comfortable in the water.

How Infant Lessons Differ From Baby Classes
The step up from baby swimming lessons is about independence — this is where your child starts doing things without your hands supporting them.
Language and Listening
Infants can follow simple instructions, so lessons introduce key safety words and signals. Teachers use the child’s growing communication skills to guide them through each activity — something not yet possible in baby classes.
First Independent Movement
Where baby classes are parent-supported throughout, infant lessons gradually reduce that support. Children begin floating, kicking and reaching for the wall on their own, with a teacher close by.
Themed 8-Week Blocks
Our Starfish and Penguin classes are themed, with themes changing every eight weeks. Fun games and activities keep children (and adults) engaged while skills build underneath the play.
Building Toward Solo Lessons
By the end of the infant levels most children are ready to enter the water without a parent — the single biggest milestone in the Marlins adventure.
