Swimtoddlers
2-3 years

The Swimtoddlers programme fosters a love of water while preparing children aged 2-3 for Stage 1 of the Swim England framework. Through a structured approach with six progressive levels, children develop essential skills like kicking, floating, and submerging.

Nurturing a love of the water

Our Swimtoddlers programme not only fosters a love of water but also prepares little ones for the next stage of their swimming journey. In addition to developing essential skills like aquatic breathing and pulling through the water with their arms, Swimtoddlers will learn valuable water safety skills.

Giving your little one a head start in the water

Our swimming lessons for toddlers follow a structured scheme from Level 1 to 6, allowing children to progress at their own pace. Little ones will receive certificates at the end of each term, celebrating their achievements and providing ongoing encouragement.

Toddlers will gradually become more comfortable in the water, enhancing their confidence and developing important coordination and motor skills. The lessons emphasise water safety, teaching children how to enter and exit the water safely and become comfortable with submersion.

Importantly, Swimtoddlers provides a strong foundation for progression to Stage 1 of the Swim England framework, where children will learn to swim independently.

Key learning outcomes

  • Level 1: Introduces water acclimation, focusing on comfort, gentle splashing, and early exploration of independent movement.
  • Level 2: Builds on water confidence, introduces supported floating on the back and tummy, and explores early kicking movements.
  • Level 3: Develops independent floating, introduces early propulsion with wall pushes, and explores early rolling movements with support.
  • Level 4: Increases independence in entering and exiting the water, refines propulsion with less support, and develops smoother rolling movements.
  • Level 5: Enhances independence with less support needed for entering and exiting the water, introduces independent rolling, and develops independent pushing off the wall.
  • Level 6: Focuses on independent swimming skills, including kicking, arm movements, and rolling, while introducing advanced skills like face immersion and independent entry/exit.
