A wonderful way to introduce your little one to the water in a fun, social setting.

Designed for babies aged 3–6 months, these free classes help build confidence and comfort in the pool for both babies and carers.

Using engaging techniques like play, song, and repetition, each session focuses on important water skills such as safe entry, floating, and building water confidence at your baby’s own pace.

By the end of the program, your baby will be ready to continue their swimming journey in our Discovery levels. Plus, our infant swimming lessons are a great way to meet other parents and enjoy bonding time. Your baby can learn in a caring environment and start early with water familiarisation.
