adult and child - pre-school (termtime only) Bookings for the spring term being taken now!
Our goal is to teach your baby to swim and learn how to be safe around the water, using play and song. Learning to swim at an early age reduces chances of children developing a fear of the water. Please note: a parent/guardian must be in the water at all times.
