Babies love the fun and freedom of swimming and sharing this experience with your newborn is one of the most exciting and rewarding things you can do.

Using word association, movement, games and songs we create sessions that are informative as well as fun. Water safety is also a priority and with progressive training your baby will learn vital life saving skills.

Despite their carefree nature, lessons are built around a carefully constructed programme involving clear aims and objectives.

Ultimately the aim is to teach you how to teach your child to swim as soon as they are practically able- normally at around three or four.
