Pre School Swimming Lessons

TEACH YOUR TODDLER WATER CONFIDENCE AND SAFETY WHILST HAVING FUN. (2 years – 4 Years)

Our swimming program has been developed to work along a child’s development. This class is essentially a Beginners class with parents assisting in their child in the pool. 

WHAT WE TEACH

The focus is on getting your child independently confident in the water. Content will include basic stroke technique, how to climb out of the pool, jumping into the water and a balance of fun, learning and discipline.

All beginners class swimmers will wear floatation belts and woggles as they learn to swim independently, keeping them safely above water while they work towards the “Duckling Awards” scheme.

Brilliant! The teachers are so friendly and have such a way with kids. My daughter does an intensive course with them every summer and improves so much within a week. She also really enjoys herself and looks forward to it every day. Cannot recommend highly enough!
