About our baby and toddler swimming lessons
The baby classes are designed for babies under one year old.
The gentle structure of the lessons allow you and your baby to be happy and have fun in
the water, whilst building confidence and enjoying the experience of early swimming both
on the surface and underwater. Throughout the programme of 3 x 10 week terms, babies will
advance to moving their legs and splashing their arms and will love chasing small toys -
balls, fish around the pool or floating on animal shaped floats. Following this is one
final 10 week course, the pre-toddler class, progressing to using woggles and mats and
preparing them for the more energetic toddler classes
The toddler classes
are designed for toddlers up to 4 years of age. Toys such as balls, fish and egg flips
are used to encourage movement in the water and use of animal shaped floats, floating
mats and woggles are used to build confidence and independent swimming. The lessons are
based on you both having fun whilst learning.
To maintain pool cleanliness and health & safety, if your child is still in nappies,
then a double nappy system is appropriate - wearing a disposible swim nappy and a
'Splash About Happy Nappy'.
You can purchase a 'Splash About Happy Nappy' from Blue Water or direct from
the Splash About website.
