Adult and Child 6 months+
The aim of this class is to develop water confidence and movement in water through fun and games. Parents/carers accompany their child in the water for a fun 30 minute instructor led session using a range of water toys and equipment.
Pre-School and Pre-School Plus
This class is for 3-5-year-olds to gain water confidence and experience of being in a class environment, with the emphasis on developing basic swimming skills through fun and games.
- 1-2-1 support throughout the whole class meaning faster progression.
- eases any anxiety/nerves.
- you copy the instructor and show your child the movements in the water.
- helps with concentration so key swimming and water safety skills are learned quicker.
- it’s a fun thing to do together!
There is no pressure for parents of our existing pre-school swimmers to get in the water, but we do actively encourage it.
Did you know that according to Swim England,
96% of youngsters stop their lessons too early?
By keeping them enrolled in lessons, you’ll ensure that your child will meet these 4 core competencies Swim England recommend as a minimum ability:
- be able to swim at least 100 metres without stopping
- be able to tread water for at least 30 seconds
- experience swimming in clothing
- ‘float to live’ (performing a star float on their back for at least 30 seconds)
