Adult & Child (from 4 and half months to 3 years)
These classes follow a similar format to our toddler classes, the main difference is that parents join their children in the water. This is a great class designed to build children's water confidence with the support of their parents.

Toddlers (from 2 years and 6 months) 
The children are in the water on their own with parents watching from the poolside. The classes have a maximum of 6 children in the class, with a teacher and a pool helper in the water with them.

The sessions revolve around constructive play, which gains their trust resulting in that special teacher/ pupil relationship. Teachers are extremely sympathetic to any nervous toddlers and the confidence is gradually built up by playing with many toys in the pool. The children really enjoy this, pretending to be speed boats or sea horses with the noodles. They play with different toys, sing activity songs, and adore making the biggest splashes when jumping in. The children learn water skills as well as swimming in order to help with good body positions in the water and strong arm and leg actions.

The little ones are encouraged to float on their backs and front, until they become totally relaxed, and then armbands, if worn, are gradually deflated or removed in a controlled teaching environment.

The teachers and swimmers have so much fun, even though occasionally the toddlers are unpredictable!
