| Catherine swimming like a fishy! |
Parent & Baby Classes are highly specialised and as such, the swim
school owner, Vicky Rothwell, teaches these classes herself. The benefits are sensational, with proven sleeping and feeding
patterns improved. There has been much recent press highlighting the special bonding which can take place in the swimming
pool, as these classes take place on a weekend it is a great idea to get Daddy involved too!
Babies that take part in regular swimming lessons are proven to be happier,
stronger and generally develop faster than babies that do not.
Babies and Toddlers under the age of 3 years are accompanied in the water by
the teacher and a parent/guardian. We run classes 3- 18 months and 19-36 months. I would suggest that 90% of my 3-year olds
that have been swimming for a year with me can swim unaided and love the water. All Adult and Child classes are relaxed, sociable
and good fun. We use the Swimming Teachers Association badge structure and a certificate will be awarded each term. We strongly
recommend you purchase a specialist baby swim suit which will keep your little one warm and comfortable. An additional charge
of £20 will be made to your account to cover this and the suit will be waiting at your first lesson.
We have two classes available at all of our locations:
Adult & Baby Classes 3-18 months
Baby classes are an introduction to
the swimming environment and the instructor will spend a lot of time with the parents showing them how to hold their baby,
where to stand and what to do. It is a joy to teach babies as the benefits of swimming are seen almost immediately with improved
sleeping and feeding habits, increased strength and awareness. Please note that a water nappy must be worn on all babies and
children still in nappies, they can be purchased at large supermarkets.
Adult & Toddler Classes 19-36
months
Toddler classes are taught through
the use of songs, games and toys. Toddlers respond best to play and interaction, not only with the parent but also the other
children in the class. We have a varied stock of water toys, colourful floats and specialist equipment that will encourage
the toddlers to work hard and learn to swim without them realising it! We teach submersion, floating and swimming on the front
and back.
