Course Information

Our first Starfish swim-level is aimed at introducing babies to the water in a fun, nurturing and safe learning environment.

These swim lessons will promote opportunities for you to bond with your baby alongside social interactions with other mums and caregivers in your local area.

Lessons foster confidence for both the baby and mother/caregiver in the water and provide practical takeaway skills to use at home or any swimming pool.

This introductory water familiarisation class is designed to build basic skills that prepare mums/caregivers and their infants for the enjoyable journey through our learn-to-swim levels.

Skills will be built through play, exploration and repetition starting with basic breath control and conditioning, movement through the water, and building trust.

NB: Terms & Conditions apply.

Don’t forget your towels and see you there!
