Children in the UAE grow up around water (whether it’s beach, boat, or pool), so it makes sense for them to learn to swim as early as possible. So when we discovered a professional swimming instructor that teaches children as young as 8 weeks old, we knew we’d stumbled upon a real gem.
Dawn Venturas teaches children of all ages, giving them confidence in and under the water. Take your toddler along to a lesson and you will get into the water together to sing nursery games and participate in fun games based on specific movements. The children are kept focused throughout the 30-minute session with the help of different swimming aids and colourful toys.
These initial steps are key to getting children acquainted with water and building their confidence, before they progress to more advanced movements by the end of the term. One of the most fascinating and wonderful things about the class is that she teaches babies to swim very short distances underwater.
The classes are divided into different age groups and skill sets, and are available throughout spring, summer, and fall, with a few weeks break during holiday seasons. Lessons are held at the indoor Tamani Hotel pool at Arabian Ranches – or you can arrange private or semi-private lessons in your own pool.
