This program has been designed for babies from 15 days old up to 5 years old.

By playing and singing with their parents, children learn how to swim without crying, without fear and without loss of time.

This is a reduced program consisting of only two special classes during which the baby feels the unforgettable and rewarding experience of the first plunge into the water under teachers´ supervision and accompanied by one or both parents.

It has been specially designed for families which cannot complete the traditional learning process and wish to prevent their babies from suffering undesired negative experiences.

This is a program for expecting mothers in their fourth month onwards.

It is an integral program that allows mothers to face the delivery moment in their best physical and psychological condition.

Warm water, music and pleasing exercises contribute to mother-baby intimate connection. Certainly, the father-to-be is invited to participate.

This is a survival techniques program based on exhaustive drilling for families with children under 5 years old.

Accident drillings will be repeated in order to reassure the family on safety rules and useful routines in case of emergency.

For babies with special needs, Matroswimming™ offers its I.S.E.F.I. Aquatic Rehabilitation Department.

In “Matroswimming™ adapted to Babies with disabilities” (Editorial Médica Panamericana – Back cover summary) the new book by Dr. Patricia Cirigliano, a world authority and pioneer in aquatic initiation for babies, we can find the answer to human and scientific challenge she encountered over four decades ago when she faced the inexistence of specific research on early childhood age.

Being a member of the Argentine Association of Pediatrics, she works hand in hand with pediatricians for both normal and handicapped children, which has permitted her to coin a completely original methodology on an area totally deprived from research on aquatic co-therapy which proposes the active participation of the newly born´s family and young children up to 5 years old.

The support of the most prestigious Argentine pediatricians accounts for valuable therapeutic break-through as well as for the set up of Matroswimming™ resources adapted to the babies with special needs.
Furthermore, in the sociological field she established internationally in 1990 “The rights of the infant swimmer and its family” which are included in said book and which were inspired by the Infant Rights Convention.

Her background also includes pre-natal work and aquatic births, a field in which she is also a pioneer.Besides, her contribution to clinical psychology is focused on prevention, being a key issue the early interaction of parents with their baby, mother-child relationship and family crises.

Her professional practice on families with a handicapped child has been developed over the last 20 years during which the experience with children suffering from different pathologies has increased enticing her to consolidate the present teaching staff that works side by side with her.

This is an auxiliary program designed for moms and dads.

Its target is to make parents swim (if they don´t), to improve swimming techniques (if they already know how to but incorrectly), to reconcile them with the water and to teach them to swim (if they have not learnt due to fear or to a traumatic experience in the water).
