Our Parent & Baby classes welcome little ones from 12 weeks old, once they have had their first immunisations. We offer age-appropriate classes that grow with your child, helping them build confidence and develop a lifelong love of the water.

Yes. Our Parent & Baby lessons take place in a warm 31°, comfortable teaching pool, that you can stand up in all the way around. Our learner pool is perfect for helping babies and adults to relax and enjoy their first experiences in the water. We recommend bringing a warm towel (top tip; wrap your towel in a hot water bottle and keep on poolside for straight after your lesson) or changing robe to keep your little one cosy after the lesson.

Babies should wear a reusable or disposable swim nappy, along with a snug-fitting neoprene splash nappy to help keep the pool clean. Don't forget a warm towel, changing mat and a spare nappy for afterwards. We also recommend bringing a drink or feed for after the lesson, as swimming often makes little ones hungry!

Not at all. Our Parent & Baby classes take place in shallow water where you can comfortably stand throughout the lesson. Your teacher will guide you every step of the way, so no previous swimming experience is needed. You're likely to learn some new confidence skills yourself, so make the most of your time in the pool!

That's completely normal! Every baby settles differently, and there's no pressure to take part in every activity. Our teachers will support you both, and most babies quickly grow in confidence as they become familiar with the environment.

Bring your baby's swim nappy and splash nappy, a towel, a changing mat and a drink or feed for afterwards. Arriving a few minutes early will help you settle in before the lesson begins.

One adult accompanies each baby in the water, but additional family members are welcome to watch from the viewing area where available.
