Preschool Lessons
We recognise that preschoolers are at a key stage of their development, so our approach to lessons for this age group is using an activity-based programme that builds confidence and introduces fundamental swimming and water safety skills. We ensure that we take lessons at a pace that students are comfortable with, whilst providing opportunities to be challenged in a fun and supportive environment.
Our 30 minute Preschool classes are for children 3 & 4 years old.
These classes are limited to a maximum of four children per class.
