The Royal Life Saving Society Australia recommends water familiarisation and awareness for toddlers as one of its 4 key drowning protection actions.

All SWIMTRAINER "Classic" floatation aids are certified to meet Australian Safety Standards and European Safety Standards and are phthalate free. Regular swimming can boost the mental and physical development of childrenBabies and children are in their element in water and regular pool time has both mental and physical benefits. Australian research has shown that babies that have regular and ongoing swimming practice reach developmental milestones (including literacy, numeracy and mathematical related milestones) earlier than other children who had not participated in swimming practice. Mastering swimming skills can also boost children's confidence which in turn promotes better mental health. Regular swimming improves baby's physical development by strengthening the muscles, reducing postural deformities, strengthening the immune system and improving stamina, co-ordination and performance. Babies can experiment with a greater range of movement in water than they are able to on land. Moving gently backwards and forwards during baby swimming for example acts like a massage for the skin and at the same time supports the formation of nerve cells and the networking of brain areas which in turn promotes movement development on land. For children who have slow motor development, or premature babies, aquarobics is a playful and effective therapy. The water pressure not only has a positive effect on the skin, but also on the joints and muscles. Baby swimming also improves the sense of balance, promotes independence, increases learning and perception and supports growth in young children. Playing is the best form of learning Children learn best when they feel safe and are having fun. Babies love the SWIMTRAINER "Classic" because they are held in a safe and secure position and yet they can propel themselves forward independently while having their hands free to play.
