With the emphasis on fun, our lessons are carefully planned to develop early years confidence. Emphasis is on the development of very basic motor skills and an introduction to water and the swimming environment through fun and games.
Baby swimming for children from 6 months and up, come and share a special bonding experience and give your baby the best start in life learning about water confidence, safety and enjoyment.
Our lessons are conducted in a playful, stress free environment where each child is respected as an individual and encouraged to develop at their own pace. Sessions are interactive with adult, baby and the instructor all in the pool together.
Within each lesson all activities have a specific teaching aim which we make fun through a series of songs, rhymes, interactive games, individual and group activities appealing to a child’s natural sense of curiosity and play.
Each session will offer an element of continuity and repetition encouraging babies to master key techniques and develop confidence.
We will encourage you to float and swim with your baby (you do not have to be able to swim yourself) and develop your own confidence in holding and moving your baby through the water. Our courses do include submersion techniques. Our structured underwater swimming activities are designed to be fun, relaxed and are only introduced when you and your baby are ready.
Lessons take place on a Sunday morning term time only in Basildon Essex.
