Our Classes

Our lessons have no more than 4 babies/children and parents/carers pairs per group ensuring that you and your child receive more personal attention from your teacher. The lessons are 30 minutes and have a carefully balanced set of activities including group and individual work, songs and toys, games, swimming, floating, jumping, safety skills. We will do everything we can, to support your child and help them relax and learn to love the water.

Baby lessons

Baby lessons are designed for your baby to experience the wonderful sensory world that the water can bring. Teach methods that promote the physical, personal, social and intellectual well being of babies.

We learn through sensory discovery play and songs while boosting water confidence and building trust. Focus on relaxation, floating, and gentle movements. Through your involvement in the pool, our lessons promote bonding with your little one and learning your child's needs. The lessons provide lots of eye contact and encourage freedom of movement and skin to skin contact.

Toddler/Preschool lessons

Older children's classes create a safe and happy learning environment, where they can explore, develop and learn. Lessons are delivered to nurture positive experiences with you in the pool that can bring them a lifelong love of the water.

The lessons are:

designed to ensure that your child has fun whilst learning (fun sensory toys, games, discovery play and songs)
adapted to suit your child’s age, individual experiences and developmental stage
develop confidence to give your child the freedom to swim independently, build confidence for those who are more nervous,
promote safety around water
teach life saving skills

After school lessons (YR, Y1, Y2)

School age children classes are on Monday afternoons. The groups have a maximum of 4 children and parents/carers pair per lesson with the teacher in the water.

In our lessons we would like you to be part of your child's swimming journey.

3 reasons why parents are in the water with school age children in our lessons:

Enjoy each other’s company while learning water confidence and swimming skills. In this busy world it can be difficult to find quality time together. There are plenty of after school clubs/weekend clubs that your child can enjoy but all of these activities are without your involvement. In our lessons you can have fun together.
Another good reason to be part of your child's lessons is that we can also teach you the activities/skills as you hear some great tips from your teacher and learn the teaching methods. So you can carry on assisting your child on your holidays/family day outs in leisure centres.
Not least is your wallet. Would you prefer being in the water with your child and playing/learning/working for 30 mins or would you rather sit on poolside and watch your child sometimes waiting 5-10 mins for their swim buddies to have their turns? With your involvement in the pool the class can all swim together.

“You will never have this day with your children again.

Tomorrow they’ll be a little older than they were today.

This day is a gift.

Just breathe, notice, study their faces and little feet.

Pay attention.

Relish the charms of the present.
