Our Swimming Programs

AQUATOTS – BABIES & TODDLERS

In the AquaTots classes babies & toddlers will learn to become confident in the water. As an adult assisted class parents (or adult caregivers) are completely involved during the session. It’s a special moment between you and your infant. This class promotes parents and babies happy interactions. Each class is a fun and vibrant one with an abundance of energy. These classes teach basic technique through the medium of games, songs, colorful toys and many laughs and jokes. AquaTots classes help babies & toddlers have an earlier head start in their swimming journey.
WATERSTARTERS – PRESCHOOLERS
(For 3 to 5 Year Olds – Non-Adult Assisted)
The aim of this class is to build your child’s confidence and independence in the water. Basic practice of swimming and safety are taught in order to make water a comfortable environment. Ideally, this class isn’t assisted by an adult. It will be the first step for independent swimmers. This class is designed to be a route for young swimmers, who are relatively confident in the water, but lack experience of learning the correct swim technique or different strokes.
