Our Foundation stage programme, will help your little one to gain early water confidence, the development of motor skills and an enjoyment of being in the water.
The sessions below are delivered by specialist teaching staff.
- Discovery Ducklings | 0-2yrs are the perfect start for babies and toddlers. Staying close to adult support, they will get used to being in the water and grow in confidence.
- Ducklings | 2-4yrs are great for increasing water confidence and independence in the water. This is the perfect foundation to get your youngster ready for Waterwise Swimming Lessons.
Please be aware that a parent/guardian is required to be in the pool with the child during the lesson.
4 & Over
Whether it’s their first time in the pool or they’re already working up through the stages 1-7 of the Swim England Learn to Swim Framework, you can watch as they turn into experienced swimmers.
Our teachers help develop children’s coordination, agility and balance and core aquatic skills like streamlining, aquatic breathing and buoyancy. Your child will earn badges and certificates as they pass through the different stages.
Parents are not required to be in the pool with the child.

Water safety is crucial, especially in our coastal communities, where children are frequently exposed to oceans, rivers, and pools. Learning to swim at a young age not only builds confidence but also significantly reduces the risk of drowning, a leading cause of accidental deaths among children.
Swimming lessons teach essential skills such as floating, treading water, and safe entry and exit techniques, ensuring kids know how to react in emergencies. By prioritising water safety and early swim education, we can create a safer environment for our children and help them enjoy the water responsibly.

1:1 & 2:1 Lessons
In addition to our group lessons, we offer 1:1 and 2:1 sessions to help your child gain confidence in the water more quickly and overcome any fears they may have. These private lessons are also perfect if you’re looking for them to improve specific skills or feel a quieter setting would be more suitable for their learning.
If you’re interested in 1:1 or 2:1 lessons for your child/children, please contact your local venue to check availability. Please note, all 1:1 and 2:1 lessons are subject to availability.
