Teaching Babies and Small Children to Swim (Birth to 4 years)

Each course runs for a duration of 1 lesson per week (30 minutes) for 5 weeks. This is so that there is no long term commitment. Parents are invited to renew at the end of each term.

Babies (0-1yr) and Toddlers (1-4yr) progress through stages as their ability improves.

Courses need to be pre-booked through our office and your name is added to the register. For prices and details please call:

Our pools are heated to a minimum of 31°C

Babies are required to wear a swimming nappy.

A parent/carer is required in the pool with the child at all times.

NHS guidelines state that babies can be taken swimming at any age and before their immunisations (see NHS - Baby Swimming Advice) The water treatment requirements for public swimming pools make it extremely unlikely that any of the diseases the vaccine protects against could be transmitted.

Allow at least 1 hour after feeding before you take your baby swimming. It is preferable to feed after their lesson. Most of our babies then have a long sleep – however, this is not a guarantee!!

Never bring your baby swimming if they have an illness such as cold or ear infections. If in doubt seek Doctor’s advice.
