Creating Next Level Baby Teachers
The USSSA’s Creating Next Level Baby Teachers ( Formally Infant-Toddler Course) is designed for professionals working with children aged 6 to 36 months in aquatic environments. Its main goal is to share best practices to foster comfort, confidence, and success in swimming lessons without causing trauma. The program emphasizes that these teaching methods can be beneficial for older children as well. The IT Program consists of two parts: the online course and the in-person workshop, with the online course required before attending the workshop. The course is regularly updated with new research and information, encouraging instructors to refresh their skills and continue learning by retaking both the course and the workshop periodically.
