Parent and Baby Swimming Lessons in Ferndown. Available as Pay as you go, or a monthly direct debit membership!
Our Parent and Baby swimming classes involve lots of play, songs and games to help the children learn and build towards swimming independently, happily and safely in the water. One Parent/Guardian can be in the water with little one at a time, you are welcome to rotate each week and spectators are welcome.
Parent and Baby swimming classes involve lots of skin-to-skin contact strengthening the bond between parent and child in an activity that you can both truly enjoy together. Baby can start swimming with us from just 6 weeks old.
For baby, swimming helps develop strength and coordination aiding their early physical development, and joining in with the baby swimming classes allows them to interact with you, the teacher, and other babies in the fun class environment, which along with the sensory experience of being in the water, helps stimulate baby’s social and psychological development.
The Parent and Baby swimming classes allow baby to have fun exploring an environment that will feel safe and familiar to them after their time in the womb. Swimming helps to maintain this natural water affinity and develop a water confidence that will stay with them always, throughout childhood and beyond.
We also use child-lead submersion techniques to help the children feel confident in the water and to reinforce the natural breath-holding reflex and learn breath control. We do not use forced submersions in our classes. During our Parent and Baby swimming classes, we also teach the children the key safety skill of entering the water, turn around, and swim back to side by themselves.
Children that have attended our Parent and Baby swimming lessons are often able to swim completely unaided before they even start school.
