Why become an infant swimming instructor?
PISCES Aqua Club
Because baby swimming is not just a technique.
It is a language full of looks, silences, and small movements.
The role of the trainer is not only to show, but to feel.
To observe the baby, to listen to the relationship with the parent, to become part of the connection that is born in the water.
Through these seminars, you will learn how to "read" babies,
support their development with respect and tenderness,
and help the parent-child relationship flourish.
Because it can start as a lesson,
but it ends up being a once in a lifetime experience –
both for you, and for the family that trusts you.
Cost
● Standard: 480€
● Early Bird: 450€ (for early registration – up to 30 days before the theoretical part)
And of course, all our seminars are offered with snacks, drinks, and warm hospitality – because learning also requires care.
