Background of the decision to offer free parent-child baby swimming classes

The representative of Seishin, a native of Shizuoka City, is very attached to his hometown and wondered if there was anything he could do to help the declining population and aging society with fewer children. We are now offering a free "Baby Swimming Class for Parents and Babies" to support the environment for raising children in Shizuoka.

Many families give up taking lessons for various reasons. The class is designed to provide an opportunity for babies and their parents to participate together in a casual environment, with the motto of "having fun while getting used to the water and strengthening the bond between parents and children".

This parent-child baby swimming event will bring new interaction and learning opportunities to many families, and we seriously aim to play a role in revitalizing the local community.

We hope that by contributing to local childcare support, we can energize the local community, maintain communication between parents and children, and help nurture children with an eye toward the future.

Program Details

Bring out their unlimited potential!

Parent-child baby swimming is a class in which babies and their parents/guardians get into the pool together and play in the water and do simple underwater exercises to get babies used to the water while deepening the bond between parents and children.

The period around the age of one is especially important for human growth and development. During this period of dramatic change, when babies begin to get up, crawl, stand up, and walk, providing them with a sufficient amount and variety of physical activities helps their muscles and skeletal structure develop in a well-balanced manner, and is the foundation for building a strong body that will last a lifetime.

For this reason, baby swimming is recommended as a form of exercise that can be started with babies.

We also believe that baby swimming is not only a way to get accustomed to the water, but also the first step in acquiring skills to avoid drowning. Let's try floating and diving safely while having fun.

Target: Children 6 months to 2 years old and their parents/guardians living in Shizuoka City

Starts: April 2025 class

Application period: from March 17, 2025
