Our toddler taster sessions are a great way for you to explore everything First Swim has to offer—without the commitment of a full term. You and your little one will be supported every step of the way by our friendly staff and experienced instructors, so you can feel confident and at ease in and out of the water.
Before or after your session, take a moment to relax with your toddler in our private café—where you can enjoy a tasty barista coffee, a babyccino or a snack.
We’ll provide a free disposable swim nappy and a rental neoprene nappy – both are requirements for swimming in our pool. We have a limit of 6 toddlers/ parents to 1 teacher in the pool at any one time. Our private pool is purpose-built and kept at 33oC so both you and your toddler will be toasty warm!
The changing rooms have individual cubicles with change units in each one. There are also cots and highchairs in the open changing area for those handsfree moments as needed.
The minimum age is 2 and the maximum age is 3 ½ years old.
Our terms run consecutively for 10 week blocks. You can speak to a member of staff after the trial lesson about class release dates. Alternatively, follow us on Instagram and sign up to our newsletter to get the latest news about new term bookings.
No, they cannot wear their own swimsuits or shorts. As part of the Toddler Trial class we will provide your child with a pair of jammer shorts on loan for the trial class.
We teach toddlers who are 2 and 3 years old. If your toddler is currently 3 years old and is due to turn 4 before or during the middle of the next swim term then you will not be able to enrol them for that term.
Not at all. The water depth in our pool is only 1.2m (just under 4ft) so all you need to do is stand with your child during the sessions. We have worked with many parents who cannot swim. Just let us know at the front desk and our instructors will help guide you.
Yes. All toddlers must wear the Splash About Jammer Shorts for both health & safety reasons and to help with their swim technique. These have elasticated waist and thighs preventing air pockets during the swim.
Toddlers who are not yet toilet trained must wear disposable or re-usable swim pants underneath the Jammer Shorts. These are available on our website shop.
We also recommend that all toddlers wear a swim cap and swim goggles. We sell special toddler swim goggles in our shop.

We love our swimming lessons in First Swim. Didier is our teacher and he’s brilliant. The pace of the class is great, he differentiates as needed to meet the needs of all the children in the class…
We love our swimming lessons in First Swim. Didier is our teacher and he’s brilliant. The pace of the class is great, he differentiates as needed to meet the needs of all the children in the class, the lessons are well paced, clear instructions and lots of fun. We’ve met Katie, Chloe and Grace in the pool other days and they were all fantastic too. The facilities for changing are ideal from individual cubicles with plenty of room and a wall hung changing table in all, to the travel cot in the middle, hair dryers, child friendly low music and everything in between. I’m delighted we found First Swim. We started when my son was 3 years and it’s been fantastic for his age as well as for babies. Thanks so much

We’ve been taking our 4-month-old to First Swim classes and it’s been such a lovely experience. The facilities are spotless and perfectly set up for babies, with warm water, comfortable changing areas, and everything you need right on hand. The instructors are fantastic. Each class is calm, fun, and really helps build our baby’s confidence in the water. I’ve noticed such a difference already in just a few weeks! Also, she has the best naps afterwards!
We’ve been with First Swim in Sandyford since the very beginning, when our first son, started learning to swim shortly after they launched. Now, over three years later, his younger brother is there too…
We’ve been with First Swim in Sandyford since the very beginning, when our first son, started learning to swim shortly after they launched. Now, over three years later, his younger brother is there too, and absolutely flying it! From day one, it’s been clear that the owners and founders, have created something genuinely special. The place is modern, pristinely clean, and designed with such care and thought for families. Everything from the layout to the facilities makes the experience so comfortable and enjoyable, not just for the kids, but for parents too. The instructors and staff are incredible, professional, kind, patient, and full of enthusiasm. The education and confidence our boys have gained in the water are amazing to see. It’s also been a lovely social hub, especially for new parents with little ones from newborn to four years old. We’ll be genuinely sad when our boys age out of the program, but we couldn’t recommend FirstSwim highly enough. It’s been such a positive and memorable part of our family’s journey.
