Baby and Toddler Lessons

Discover the benefits of our baby and toddler swim lessons, designed for ages 6 months to 3 years. These 30 minute classes emphasise parent bonding, motor skill development, and water safety education through fun activities and nursery rhyme songs. 

Join us for an enriching aquatic adventure that not only builds essential skills, but also creates precious moments for parents and caregivers to bond with their little swimmers. Our thoughtfully planned lessons prioritise shared enjoyment, making each class a memorable experience in the water.
