Before Your First Splash

Find out how our baby and toddler lessons work and what to expect when you join us.

Which class should I choose?

Baby Beginners is for babies aged 3–12 months who are new to swimming or still building confidence. Baby Advance is for children aged 12–24 months who are comfortable in the water and ready to progress. Toddler Beginners is for children aged 2–3 years who are ready for more structured swimming activities.

Age is a starting point. Your child’s confidence and previous water experience also help us choose the most suitable class. If you’re unsure, contact us and we’ll help.

Does a parent or carer join the lesson?

Yes. A parent or carer accompanies their child in the water throughout Baby Beginners, Baby Advance and Toddler Beginners lessons.

Our instructor guides you through the activities, helping you support your child as they explore the water and develop new skills together.

How long are lessons?

All three class types last 30 minutes, with time for guided activities, practice and playful exploration.

How many children are in each class?

Classes have a maximum of six children, each accompanied by a parent or carer. This keeps groups small and gives our instructor time to support each family.

What happens during a lesson?

Activities vary with your child’s stage and may include songs, toys, bubbles, supported floating, kicking and moving through the water.

As children progress, we introduce more structured activities to build confidence, body control and independence, with parent or carer support throughout.

Can we try a lesson before joining?

One complimentary taster is available for each new swimmer, with no obligation to continue.

Select “View Taster Slots” on the class that suits your child, or visit our free taster booking page to choose an available session.

What should we bring and when should we arrive?

• Arrive up to 15 minutes early

• Bring swimwear and towels for both adult and child

• For all under-4s, use an inner disposable or reusable swim nappy plus a snug reusable neoprene outer nappy

• One parent or carer accompanies each child in the water

• Submersions are never forced; activities are child-ready and parent-led
