Baby & Toddler Term Classes

At First Swim, we run 3 core  programmes: Little Dippers, Kickstarters and Aquatots. These 10 week group lessons teach children to be happy and safe in the water and the classes are adapted to the various life stages and age groups from tiny babies up to busy and independent toddlers.

10 weeks – 22 months

This group is for the very little ones up to pre-toddler across 7 levels. These classes are gentle and repetitive to help babies become comfortable in the water.

2 - 3 Years Beginner

Kickstarter Levels are for toddlers who have never had structured swimming classes before or who are perhaps too young to move into the Aquatots classes.

2 - 3 Years Advanced

For more experienced toddlers, our Aquatots group has 6 levels. This is when the children start to swim more independently using goggles and flotation aids.

Loving First Swim classes with my little one and we look forward each week. Teachers are so friendly and amazing in teaching different holds and positions to get baby comfortable with water.

Loving First Swim classes with my little one and we look forward each week. Teachers are so friendly and amazing in teaching different holds and positions to get baby comfortable with water. We love singing all the songs as we repeat them quite often at home so baby knows whats to come when we mention ‘ let’s go swimming’. The changing facilities and the coffee area are spacious and very well thought about for babies and their families.

Joining up First Swim was the best choice we could have make for our little one! Liam absolutely loves it! He adores his teacher Chloe! We didn’t got a chance to meet all of the staff

Teachers are engaging, remember all the kids names and enjoy what they do. All the other staff are brilliant and helpful too! Looking forward to many more lessons.
