What you’ll both learn in our lessons

In our progressive programme, we’ll teach you to teach your baby to swim. Our lessons are carefully structured to nurture your little one’s physical and mental wellbeing while teaching water safety and building their water confidence. You’ll be amazed as you see your little one move from kicking and blowing bubbles to independently showing off their swimming strokes.

How it works

Lessons are 30 minutes long, and you'll be swimming each week in the same class. We’ll find the best starting point for your little one.

Underwater swimming

Swimming your little one underwater is key to building their water confidence and safety skills. Babies have a natural affinity with the water, so we’ll build on your little one’s natural reflexes and use word association from the get-go to prepare them to go beneath the surface. Safety is at the heart of everything that we do, so we’ll only ever swim them when they’re ready.

Time spent together

You’ll be with your little one in the pool, so it’s a lovely bonding experience with skin-to-skin contact where you’ll focus on each other away from the craziness of daily life. We sing songs and have fun, while your little one learns movements that will soon transform into swim strokes!

Photoshoot

You’ll also have the option to book onto our underwater photoshoot, where we’ll capture that special moment your little one swims underwater, for you to keep forever as a snapshot of your child’s baby swimming journey. Please note our underwater photo shoot may be at a different venue to the class you book onto.

Getting prepared for the pool

In the pool your little one will need to wear a disposable/reusable swim nappy with a Water Babies Happy Nappy over the top. This neoprene nappy fits snugly around their tummy and legs to prevent any accidents getting in the pool. We also have costumes and wetsuits with the Happy Nappy incorporated.
