Specialised Lessons

Aquababies
Classes are broken down into age groups 0-6 months, 6-12 months and 12-18 months so lessons are specific to the age of baby in the class. Each baby must be accompanied in the water by an adult, with up to ten babies in the class.

• 0 - 6 months covers how to support baby correctly in the water, submersion techniques and builds on confidence of the adult and baby. Includes songs and games.
• 6-12 months continues to develop confidence and introduces specific practices suitable for this age, with an emphasis particularly on back work and transitions from front to back. All sessions include submersions, songs and games in a group environment.
• 12-18 months starts to encourage some independence in the water, introduces to swim aids for part of each session and interaction with the class instructor. Each class with a focus on a certain aspect of swimming e.g. body position, breath control, arm actions etc

Fitness and Elite classes
This class is designed for children who have completed our Swimskool or for children who are able to cover 100m front crawl, back stroke and breast stroke and 25m butterfly correctly.

It is described as a mini club-session without the competitive element (that can often put children off swimming). Strokes and stamina are exercised during this hour long session with an additional focus on starts, turns and the laws of the sport. It can still lead on to a competitive swimming club therefore serving as a stop gap, or used to keep interest in the non-competitive element of swimming.

Private Lessons
Private one-to-one swimming lessons are available for individual tuition. Call the centre for full information about their Private Swimming Lessons.

Preschool Lessons
Pre-school lessons are aimed at children 18 months - 3yrs. These lessons encourage a independence in the water, introduce swim aids for part of each session and also interaction with the class instructor. A focus for each class targets certain aspects of swimming e.g. body position, breath control, arm actions etc.
