Adult and Child Classes for Children aged 2 to 4 years

​

Happy children lead to confident children and we have found that nothing makes a child happier than sharing an activity with their parent/caregiver.  We also understand that every child is different, so while we do take children into our classes without their adults from 3 years, we realise that some children are just not ready to leave the safety of their parent at that age.  We provide adult and child lessons up until the age of 4 years. 
 

We believe in a child-centred swimming philosophy.  Our children progress from skill to skill at their own pace. Our classes are structured and progressive and all instructors have a vast knowledge of alternative practices for any children struggling to achieve particular skills and likewise for those children who are excelling within the group. 

We promote safety skills, a sense of confidence and independence plus a love of swimming for all of our children.​
