baby & toddler swimming lessons

Our aquatics academy will empower and inspire children to challenge themselves on their own personal journey of learning to swim.

The curriculum encompasses a range of teaching methodologies with a real focus on repetitive, accurate and quality practice with elements of guided discovery.

The programme is delivered through structured play, ensuring the lessons are well planned with clear learning outcomes whilst engaging children in fun and relevant activities.

Baby Swimming Lessons

Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers

What age can my baby start swimming lessons?
We welcome little splashers from 6 months old! At this age, babies are naturally curious and love the water — it’s the perfect time to start building confidence and creating magical bonding moments.
Do I need to get in the pool too?
Yes! These classes are all about you and your little one enjoying the water together. Expect plenty of splashes, cuddles, and smiles — you’re part of the fun!
What should my baby or toddler wear to lessons?
All our tiny swimmers must wear a double nappy system — a swim nappy underneath and a snug-fitting neoprene Happy Nappy on top. This keeps things clean and stress-free for everyone! We stock these in our online shop if you need one or you can buy one from any reputable baby swim supplier.
What should we bring?
Here’s your checklist:
​
✔️ Your swim gear
✔️ Baby’s double nappy setup
✔️ A big fluffy towel
✔️ A cosy outfit for after the splash session
Who teaches the lessons?
Our lessons are led by specially trained STA Baby & Pre-School swimming teachers who love helping little ones grow in the water. You’re in safe, friendly hands!
How long is each class?
Classes are 30 minutes long — just the right amount of time for learning, giggles, and floating fun (before naptime hits!).
Do classes run all year round?
We run on a continuous schedule, so you can join at any time! We take breaks during school holidays, and a full yearly schedule is available on our website for your convenience.
Can I try a session before booking a term?
We don’t offer trial sessions — but we know life with little ones can be unpredictable! If you give us 48 hours’ notice, you can book 1 replacement session per block of 8 (based on availability). Replacement sessions must be used within 6 weeks, and we’ll do our best to fit you in.
