Why should I take my baby swimming?
There are so many benefits to baby swimming lessons. Not only are our lessons brilliant for your child's development, they're also the perfect place to bond with your little one.
Build their strength quicker
Swimming strengthens your little one's heart and lungs, as well as their arm, leg and neck muscles. All this helps with their coordination and balance. It even aids a healthy appetite and improves their sleeping pattern.
Enhance the bond between you
Focused time in the water builds the bond between you and your baby, through skin-to-skin and eye contact. Swimming gives you that time to really connect, away from the demands of daily life.
Teach them water safety
There's nothing more important than your child's safety. Teaching them vital safety skills from the get-go prevents them from developing a fear of the water later and gives them the knowledge to keep themselves safe, wherever they are.
Give them life confidence
When your little one grasps a new skill, this sense of achievement gives them the confidence to try new things. So you'll soon see them flourish in and out of the water.
Develop their social skills
The pool is the ideal place for your little one to develop their social interaction as they play with other babies in the class. It's also a brilliant way for you to meet other like-minded parents too!
Accelerate their learning ability
All the movements that your little one learns in the water strengthen those brain connections. Research has shown that the time your baby spends swimming can put them months ahead with mathematical reasoning and reading.
How our lessons work
Our lessons are intimate, with a maximum of 10 little ones, a carer per child and one of our teachers in the pool at any one time.
They're 30 minutes long and take place each week, so it's a wonderful way to bond with your baby away from the craziness of life.
Skills are taught through song, play and repetition, so there's never a dull moment when you're in the pool.
Our teachers will tailor each lesson to your little one's ability, so it's only when they're ready that we're ready.
