A child who can float has a meaningfully higher chance of surviving a fall into water. That is why this part is free.

Why is the first unit free?

Drowning is a leading cause of accidental death for young children. A child who can float on their back buys the most precious thing there is: time. We would rather every kid have that skill than have it locked behind a paywall — so Unit 1 is free, no strings.

What's inside Foundations

Starts free with Tips & Theory, then four units that take your child from water-safety basics to real, elementary swimming.

1

Getting Safer In the Water

Asking permission, blowing bubbles, comfort with water on the face, and first assisted back floats.

Free
2

Movement

Kicks, scoops, traversing the wall, and safe exits — your child's first real movement through the water.

Full course
3

Back Floats & Full Submersions

Unassisted back floats, assisted and unassisted submersions, and rolling transitions — the core safety skills.

4

Elementary Swimming Styles

Back kicks and jumping in, plus elementary freestyle, breaststroke, and backstroke.

This isn't a replacement for lessons — and that's the point.

I'm a swim instructor. Nothing beats one-on-one time with a skilled teacher in the water. Swim Bond is built to sit alongside that: it conditions your child to be calm and unafraid, teaches the safety essentials that matter most, and makes every future lesson go further. Think of it as the head start.

Common questions

What ages is this for?

Foundations is designed for children roughly 6 months to 5 years. Later units scale up for older, more capable kids.

Do I need a pool?

Unit 1 starts with at-home basics. Units 2–4 are filmed at the pool, so you'll want access to water — a backyard pool, community pool, or lessons pool all work.

Is it safe to do myself?

Every lesson is built around parent supervision and clear safety guidance. You're always in the water within arm's reach of your child.

What if it's not for us?

The full course comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee. And the free unit is always there to try first.

Start with a splash. It's free.
