Toddlers (from 2 years and 6 months) swimming can be the most enjoyable lessons to watch. The teachers and swimmers have so much fun, even though occasionally the toddlers are unpredictable!

While the children are so young, style and technique are of minor importance, whereas enjoyment and achievement are of much greater relevance.

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.

They work extremely hard!
