‘Pre-school’ Programme

Q: How warm and deep is your pool?

32 degrees - sometimes even a balmy 33! The shallow end is 0.9 and the deep end is 1.4m. We have platforms for children to stand on as well.

Q: When do I (as a parent) get out of the water?

Group lessons - Parents are required in the water until the child is at least 3 ½ years. This is based on the depth of our pool and the maximum benefit the child can get out of having the parent in the water vs potential for progression. You may choose to stay in the water until they are 5 years old. However, it is highly recommended that you discuss this with your instructor because there are pros and cons of both decisions ( further information here ). Private lessons - there is no exact age, as it comes down to what’s best for the child and their needs. We take into account many different factors such as personality and temperament, experience, expectations and developmental stage of the child. If you have siblings sharing a private lesson, it can be beneficial for both swimmers if there is an extra set of hands. However we are also aware that dynamics can mean that they would benefit from more independence from the caregiver. Ultimately, the decision to stay in the water with your child should be based on your child's comfort level, the instructor's recommendations, and the goals you have for the swimming lessons. It's important to communicate openly with the instructor to ensure the best possible learning experience for your child. Read More

Our approach to preschool swimming lessons strikes a healthy balance between allowing children to guide their own learning and offering challenges that push them just beyond their comfort zones.

‘Pre-school’ Programme

We believe that a child’s potential is maximised (and they become safer in the water) when they experience both self-directed exploration and expert guidance.

Recognising that every child is unique, we work closely with parents to ensure that learning to swim is a positive and rewarding experience.

By making lessons enjoyable, relaxed, and focused on water safety, we create an environment where children can thrive.

Parent/child classes

Parents/Caregivers may choose to come out of the water from the age of 3 ½ after discussion with the Teacher.

We are not rigid with age in the classes below, it’s more important for us that the class is a right fit for where your child is at in their developmental and swimming journey.
