Mother and Baby Aqua Classes
Age 4 months - 24 months, the sooner your baby is introduced to water it helps develop water skills such as :- learning their own buoyancy level, confidence to swim under water, swimming out of their depth and avoid developing a fear of water in their childhood years. Watch your baby relax in the water gaining confidence all the time and develop a life saving skill.
Throughout the weeks you’ll always be with your child in the water creating an excellent opportunity for the two of you to interact and bond, however , don’t be put off if you yourself can’t swim as the water is shallow enough for you to stand up in. ( 1.0m - 3 ft ). Classes are kept small , with a maximum of 7 babies per session, creating a strong sense of group support and unity.
Parent and aqua baby classes should be enjoyable, babies learn through nursery rhymes, play, word association, and repetition. We encourage all our babies to become relaxed and confident with the water.
Taking your baby swimming from an early age can help with their development. The water can improve co-ordination and balance, it allows freedom of movement so is exercising babies, muscle groups, strengthening both heart and lungs. Many parents report better sleeps on the day of the lesson!
Being in the water with your baby helps develop that bond between both of you. This is achieved through skin to skin and eye to eye contact and being on a one to one with each other.
Watch them develop with us through their childhood years, progressing through the different stages all the way if desired, to Gold challenge.
