Adult and Child Classes
For ages 4 months to 3 years old, these classes are the ideal way to
give your child the early stage skills needed for swimming whilst having
a great time! The teacher will lead fun, playful and purposeful swimming
activities with songs, toys and games. Splash teachers have undergone
additional training for this age group to ensure that your child is safe
and has an appropriate lesson to help their entire development. One
adult per child is needed in the water, if this is difficult for you
(e.g. twins) please contact us to find out if an additional helper is
available. Children move up between 3 and three and a half years old to
Ducklings. |

Ducklings
For children aged 3 and 4 years old. Swimming activities are often
changed to hold the young swimmer’s attention, building water confidence
and developing fundamental swimming techniques through structured play
and toys. Children who are nervous, or find it difficult to follow
instructions may initially need an adult in the water.

back without any buoyancy aids to Non-Swimmers. |
