About Our Parents & Tots Classes
These playful, parent-and-child sessions are designed to introduce toddlers to the water in a safe, enjoyable and pressure-free environment. Every lesson includes songs, gentle movement, and simple activities that support early water awareness.
With you in the pool beside your child, they feel secure and ready to explore at their own pace, and always guided by our experienced instructor.
Our focus is on relaxation, bonding, and building the early foundations that prepare children for future swimming lessons.
