Swim School Pre-school Stages
Our pre-school swimming programme follows the Swim England framework, with clearly structured stages that support children from their first experience in the water through to more independent swimming.
Introduce your baby to the water with our engaging and nurturing swimming lessons. We focus on creating a joyful experience through songs, games, open play, and a variety of fun activities. Our sessions are designed to gently build water confidence and lay the foundations for early swimming skills.
This course continues to build water confidence while gently introducing water safety awareness. It’s also a wonderful opportunity for your little one to enjoy a social environment, developing both water skills and social confidence in a supportive setting.
In this course, we focus on developing and encouraging independent swimming skills through carefully structured lessons tailored to each child’s ability. Swimmers will build on their water confidence, learn to move more freely without support, and begin developing basic techniques such as floating, kicking, and arm movements.
In this course, children will build their confidence and develop independent swimming skills while working towards the Swim England Duckling Awards. Our fun, engaging approach ensures that each child progresses at their own pace in a supportive and encouraging environment.
Nappy Policy
To help us keep the pool clean and safe for everyone, all babies and toddlers who are not fully toilet trained must wear a swim nappy during lessons.
We recommend a double nappy system, using a disposable swim nappy with a reusable neoprene nappy over the top for added protection.
Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and enjoyable environment for all swimmers.
