What is SWIMBiES?
SWIMBiES is our new exciting Baby and Toddler swimming lesson programme at BETTER. Our baby swimming lessons centre around a child-focused approach, offering a syllabus of fun in the water for confidence that lasts a lifetime.
As a parent, grandparent or guardians you join your little ones in the pool to share first splashes, laughs and fun, with time to share those little moments, as your child develops in the water. It's a fun, safe and calm environment, led by trained and qualified SWIMBiES Teachers who will be with you and your little one every step of the way.
Our SWIMBiES programme takes babies from three months old to age three, preparing them for the next stage of their swimming journey and a lifetime of fun in the water.
Why baby swimming?
Babies have a natural affinity with the water. That's why we develop classes which offer a fun and safe environment for them and you to experience swimming together. Lessons focus on building water confidence for both baby and adult. Swimming will help you bond with baby while exercising gently in the water and improve coordination, develop muscle strength and motor skills from an early age.
Everything from the changing facilities and pool temperature to teacher training is designed to create a safe and calm environment to learn and have fun, alongside:
- Confidence building
- Safety exercises
- Bonding time
- Games and songs
Our programme and classes
To us, a child's emotional development is just as important as their physical development in the water. This is why our SWIMBiES programme features plenty of bonding time as well as developing 8 Essential Baby & Toddler swimming skills:
