Starting in the Shallows: Water Readiness at Home

with Kaylee Kennedy

Comfort in the Water Starts at Home

Water play can be one of the most joyful and connecting parts of your child’s early years—when you know how to support it with calm and confidence.

Join us for a special live session with Kaylee, founder of Watermellow and creator of the Swimful™ curriculum, to explore how gentle, mindful water experiences can build safety, trust, and connection—starting in your own home.

With over 15 years of experience as a swim instructor and swim school owner, Kaylee’s approach is rooted in the belief that parents are their child’s first and best swim teacher. Whether you’re preparing for swim lessons or just wondering how to help your baby get comfortable with water on their face, this event will give you the tools and confidence to begin.

Learn how to support water safety and connection at home - starting from just a few weeks old

When and How to Safely Begin: Learn the right time and gentle ways to introduce water safely from the start.
Step-By-Step Submersion Routine: Explore a calm, cue-based routine to support safe and confident submersion.
Why an Open Mouth Matters: Discover why an open mouth helps babies manage breath and stay relaxed in water.
Wrap Up with Q&A: So you can ask anything that’s on your mind - from swim gear to daily bath-time routines.

This session is for you if…

You’re a parent or caregiver of a baby or toddler who wants to build confidence around water from the very beginning. If you’re nervous about submersion, unsure when or how to start introducing your baby to water play, or just want to make bath time more meaningful. It’s also ideal if you’re preparing for swim lessons or looking for expert guidance on keeping water experiences safe and gentle. Whether you’re brand new to the water or already exploring it together, this session will meet you where you are and help you move forward with calm, connection, and clarity.

Event Format

The LiveTalk will commence with a 20–30-minute introduction to some basic concepts, equipping you with the context and tools to make the most of the Q&A session that follows for another 30-40 minutes.
