We wish to introduce an on-going research project shared by The Lifestyle Swim School and Water Planet. 
The long-term research tries to demonstrate that infants experience a more harmonious development when exposed to water in a loving, child-paced, baby-friendly atmosphere. 

 

 

 

 

This harmony is further heightened through the transition to the natural aquatic environment and through experiencing and sharing an encounter between the human species and marine mammals, especially free dolphins. 

 

We really believe that it can strengthen their connection to nature, to themselves and to their environment. Their immune system is therefore boosted, which will make them stronger persons. They will have more chances later on in their development to relate to and to work towards a responsible management of their resources and of their (water) planet. This experience, if made at an early stage in their development, will sink right in and will be imprinted in their deepest self.
