Only a few days now until we open the online booking for our new swim term at FIRST SWIM SANDYFORD. Register your interest by signing up for our newsletter and you will get all the updates and alerts ahead of the calendar going live on Monday 18 May at 10am. SANTRY bookings are now open.

We run swim term classes for children from 10 weeks to 3 years old, 7 days a week in our own onsite swimming pool, kept at a balmy 33°C. This is the perfect place for parents to further develop the bond with their baby in the water whilst teaching them a life skill at the same time. The new 10 week swim term starts w/c Monday 01 June, 2026.

Our main focus is for children to learn how to swim but we also recognise the importance of the whole experience from the moment you walk in the door to the time you leave the centre. Comfort & safety are key and the entire centre has been designed around the needs of parents and babies, making it unique in every way.

We have a customer-only cafe where parents can relax and connect with others before or after their class creating a social hub. Enjoy barista coffee and tasty snacks in our cafe that also has feeding high chairs, comfortable adult seating, free WIFI and bottle feeding stations.

Our heated changing rooms have 8 spacious cubicles to change in and all have baby change wall units. There is also a family size changing space with shower facilities onsite. We also run swim trial classes for babies from 4 weeks old.

Designed by parents, Loved by babies.

Our gentle and engaging Little Dipper baby swim cl

Our gentle and engaging Little Dipper baby swim classes, for ages 10 weeks to 22 months, are grounded in scientific research.

Each lesson incorporates sensory play, touch, positive interaction, and fun to support your baby’s development and strengthen the unique bond you share.

It’s a space where you can slow down, connect, and enjoy meaningful moments with your little one whilst simultaneously teaching them basic water safety skills.

Central to the First Swim experience is our private pool, which is heated to a soothing 33°C.

This carefully controlled temperature helps babies and toddlers feel relaxed and secure in the water, supporting both their physical comfort and confidence.

Unlike many public swimming environments, First Swim maintains a calm and focused atmosphere by hosting only one class in the pool at a time.

This allows for a more personalized experience, where each child can receive individual attention and parents can feel at ease without the distractions or noise of multiple groups sharing the space.

Located in Sandyford & Santry. Designed by parents, Loved by babies.
