Babies have a natural affinity with the water. That’s why we develop classes which offer a fun and safe environment for you to experience learning to swim together.

Our SWIMBiES swimming lessons have a strong emphasis on your child’s enjoyment, aiming to help you:

• Build water confidence for you and your baby
• Bond with your little one through exercise
• Develop your child’s coordination, muscle strength and motor skills
• Understand safety exercises to ensure both you and your baby are protected
• Try games and songs to help your child learn

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 eight essential Baby & Toddler swimming skills:
