When you sign up to Water Babies, you attend a weekly lesson which is 30 minutes. The lessons are lots of fun whilst being progressive, so you learn new skills each week based around teaching water confidence & water safety. Our aim is to teach every child to naturally learn to swim without ever felling like they have had to – just like they learn to crawl and walk. We have our own bespoke toys and aids to help in the lessons and to also have lots of fun with! Most of our children are confidently swimming short distances by around 3 years of age.
As we work closely with Swim England, the national governing body for swimming, we've woven their learn to swim framework through our programme. Our teachers are trained to the highest possible standard through England's National Governing Body, Swim England. Water Babies teachers exclusively earn the Level 3 Teaching Pre-School Swimming (Advanced) qualification. Your little one will also receive several badges throughout the year to recognise the outcomes they have been working on (no additional cost). Our whole ethos is to teach you to teach your child to swim so even though you are in a group we will do certain skills with you on a one-to-one basis. Please don’t worry if you cannot swim yourself – we have lots of parents who can’t. Our highly trained teachers are always on hand to help. We make sure we build a strong bond & relationship with both you and your child which is vitally important to us, which also ensures we can tailor our skills taught in the lessons where required.
