Fun-filled water play & learning for your little ones

Our experienced instructors create a fun and engaging learning environment where children can explore the water with confidence and excitement alongside their parents. Through playful games, catchy songs, and age-appropriate activities, we make each lesson an adventure.

Our baby swimming lessons ensure a gradual and safe progression, beginning with general confidence-building exercises like sprinkling water on their head and ending with more advanced movements like rolling independently.

We understand that every child is unique, and that’s why our instructors provide a supportive and encouraging space where both children and parents can feel comfortable and relaxed. This not only aids swimming development but also strengthens the bonds between parent and child.

Key learning outcomes

  • Level 1: Develops comfort being moved in the water, having water sprinkled on their head, splashing independently, and being happy laying on a float.
  • Level 2: Builds upon the first stage with a cup of water poured over their head, supported rotations from front to back, early interactions with pool toys, and holding onto the wall with support.
  • Level 3: Introduces submersion straight up and down facing an adult and moving around the pool on a front and back chest hold with an adult supporting their legs for kicking motions.
  • Level 4: Establishes safely entering the water with support and encourages comfortably rolling from front to back and back to front with one hand for support.
  • Level 5: Enhances water confidence with independent rolling with some support, pushing off the wall with full support, and starting to move around the pool on their front or back whilst kicking.
  • Level 6: Focuses on greater independence, empowering them to enter the water safely, hold onto the side, and roll from tummy to back, as well as achieving more comfortable submersion.
