The First Introduction to the Water

These classes are about water familiarisation using toys and songs to encourage a fun and happy atmosphere. Babies are introduced to floating, submersion, propulsion, kicking and other important swimming skills.
The earlier these skills are introduced, the better your child will perform when the time comes for them to begin lessons without parents/carers in the water.

​Classes are half an hour and cater for children from 6 months to 3 years.
Classes have a maximum of 7 children. Larger classes can be accommodated upon request.
Why do swimming classes with your bub

• It gives you a chance to spend quality time with your child without any distractions
• Swimming helps develop muscle tone, co-ordination and balance
• Research has found swimming lessons for babies help children reach developmental milestones earlier. 
• Your child will be more confident and learn quicker when they move to learn to swim classes without parents/carers
• SLEEP! The word parents dream about. Your child should sleep and eat well after swimming

What do we teach you and your bub

• Floating front and back
• Putting their face in the water confidently
• Climbing out the pool and safely entering into the pool
• The confidence to know what to do with your child in the water
