Aquatots
We have three groups; Aquatots 1 for children between 4months and 1.5yrs old, Aquatots 2 for children between 1.5 and 2.5yrs old and Aquatots 3 for children between 2.5yrs and 3.5yrs old.
​
All classes are 25 minutes and an adult is required to go into the water.
It is a very dynamic class with lots of colourful toys, singing, splashing and a set routine to build confidence and familiarisation in the aquatic environment. We work on motor development, spatial and body awareness, hand development, vision, balance and posture.
Early swimming lessons are an amazing opportunity to bond with your child through close contact and no distractions.
​
We work in a group of maximum 9 children, every child however practices their skills at their own pace and level.
