Laurie Lawrence, International Swimming Hall of Fame inductee for both Elite Swimming and Infant Aquatics, brings you the official Laurie Lawrence Baby Swim app.

This app gives you everything you need to know about your baby’s first twelve months of swimming. With over 70 explanatory teaching video clips you will have everything at your fingertips to have your baby happy and safer in the water by 12 months. These step by step progressive teaching methods have been studied and documented over the past 40 years.


Laurie believes learning to swim from infancy will:

• Teach children water safety skills which may one day save their life.
• Build children's social, emotional, physical and intellectual capital.
• Improve children's coordination, health, fitness and muscle tone.
• Teach children a love of the water - a gift for life.
• Teach children a respect for the water so that they are less likely to wander into life threatening situations.

Laurie's infant aquatics program is unique in that it:

• Integrates baby's physical, social and emotional needs into the swimming lesson.
• Pre-conditions baby for submersion by using a stimulus response method which teaches baby breath control on verbal triggers.
• Teaches baby to swim without the assistance of floatation devices.
• Encourages baby to be independent in and around water at the earliest possible age, and,
• Focuses on developing a love for, not fear of the water.
