Building water confidence through play and parent-and-baby bonding.

Sessions remain parent-assisted and focus on building genuine water confidence through fun, repetition, and positive reinforcement.
Learning Objectives
- ✓Developing independent water confidence with parental support
- ✓Kicking, splashing, and basic arm movements
- ✓Introduction to floating with minimal support
- ✓Gentle breath control through supervised water play
What to Bring / Requirements
- •Parent or guardian must be present in or beside the water
- •Swim nappy recommended for younger babies in this group
- •Sessions are designed around short attention spans
Common Questions

How long are sessions for this age group?
Sessions are typically 30 minutes, structured to keep babies engaged and comfortable without overstimulating them.

My child has never swum before. Where do they start?
We assess each child individually before placing them in the appropriate group. Complete beginners are very welcome. We start right from the basics and progress at each child's own pace.
Will my child learn water safety?
Yes. Water safety is integrated throughout the entire programme, not just swimming technique. Every child learns to respect and respond safely to water.
