2 AquaBeba is an age-based program. We combine children similar in age to optimize social connections and to motivate more advanced swim techniques. We make sure to work with each child to ensure that they are confident and comfortable at their own individual level. The AquaBeba Swim program is designed with one thing in mind, to share and introduce the beautiful world of swimming from infancy into adulthood.

3 Owner and Instructor Danilo Krvavac with two new swimmers about us AquaBeba s fully trained instructors teach kids from infants to toddlers to young children the fundamentals of swimming in a safe and comfortable water environment. Our unique program allows babies and parents to feel confident and secure in the watery world around them. The AquaBeba Swim program is designed with one thing in mind, to share and introduce the beautiful world of swimming from infancy into adulthood. This individualized program works with each child s unique ability and pace. Through fun and games AquaBeba teaches children to relax in the water while building respect and awareness of it. It helps integrating a baby s physical, social and emotional needs into a swimming lesson. Pre-Condition baby for submersion, by teaching them to respond (hold their breath) to verbal triggers Teaches baby to swim without the assistance of flotation devices Encourages baby to be independent in and around water at the earliest possible age Teaches baby safety skills that may one day save their life Owner Danilo Krvavac qualified for the 2000 Olympic swim team representing his homeland, Serbia. He was a numerous time Serbian record holder in 50m, 100m and 200m back stroke. He was also chosen as the 1995 Best Serbian Youth Athlete. One of his records was just broken after 14 years. Danilo s passion for teaching swimming to babies and children began while teaching children in Europe. After the birth of his daughter Penelope, Danilo decided to open his own program in Williamsburg Brooklyn where he resides with his wife, daughter and son.

They cater to the needs of pregnant women. Everyone is free to work at their own pace during this gentle but effective work out. Lessons average four-six women ranging from 12 to 40 weeks. The benefits from water aerobics include better sleep, increased energy and endurance, relief from back pain and sciatica, more flexibility and easier movement. The Benefits of Water Exercise Swimming is possibly the best form of exercise you can take during pregnancy. Even a gentle swim provides you with a great cardio vascular workout that boosts your circulation and aids the transportation of oxygen and nutrients around your body. This helps you to feel energized and also reduces water retention and swelling. Swimming also works every major muscle group in your body so taking a regular trip to the pool will facilitate the development of muscle tone. This will help you to adapt to your changing shape and recuperate post pregnancy. Swimming also begins to build endurance and endorphin responses that will make you better equipped to tolerate pain during labor. Swimming also provides you with the opportunity to relax - gently swimming up and down a pool can be very therapeutic while simply floating in the pool with the water supporting your body can help relax both your mind and your muscles. Why is This Good for Pregnancy? Water exercise forces you to strengthen your core muscles - especially the abdominals and lower back - almost without trying. That s because you must contract and use these muscles in order to stabilize yourself as you move in a pool.

The pool location has limited changing areas, so we ask that all adults come ready to swim.

Please try to follow this suggestion.

IMPORTANT: Regular disposable diapers are NOT the same as disposable SWIM diapers. These expand under water and can be very hazardous if they burst. Due to recent issues with KUSHIES DIAPERS, we will require a disposable swim diaper under it. They tend to be very loose and do not fit properly. Do I need to accompany my child? Yes, lessons are held with the support of parents. It is important to have the parent there to comfort the child, reinforce the trust and enhance the bond.

Is there a way to enroll in advance? We enroll everyone at the same time as people are often switching levels. To ensure that the schedule does not go to Spam or Promotions please look out for it after the second week of lessons. Also we announce it on Instagram and Facebook the night before it goes out. How do the levels work? All of our levels are age based. Our program is designed to promote swim development through repetition and continued practice.
