Baby Swimming or Infant Aquatics

These classes are designed for parents and babies who would like to begin relaxing and bonding with their baby in the water. Objectives are to develop the child's physical and mental skills and to build self-confidence in a water environment. Babies may be introduced to the water from 12 weeks onwards.

Classes are structured to include:
     Learning to hold your baby in positions that stimulate the movement of the arms and legs.
     Discover going under the water, either by submerging, diving or jumping.
     Singing songs, playing games and having fun.

Water offers your baby new experiences: touch, hearing, sight, taste and smell. Initially, emphasis is on safety and gaining confidence in the water while enjoying fun, singing and games. Don't expect your baby to swim straight away - it is typically by two to three years of age that they can manage to swim.

Swimming nappies: We insist on special baby swimming nappies. These are available from us at the poolside.  Baby wetsuits are also available, they make your baby easier to handle and keep them warmer, particularly if you take your child on holiday to a cold swimming pool.

In addition to qualified Birthlight instructors, a pool lifeguard is present for every class.
