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.

Antoinette P

Outstanding in every way. I was very nervous taking my baby to swimming lessons after not having a great experience with my daughter at another centre a number of years ago.

Outstanding in every way. I was very nervous taking my baby to swimming lessons after not having a great experience with my daughter at another centre a number of years ago. From the moment we walked in for our first lesson we have enjoyed every moment. Staff are very welcoming, attentive and friendly, facilities are excellent and immaculate, pool is lovely and warm. Most importantly my baby loves it. We’ve now had 6 lessons and it’s such a lovely bonding experience each week. Would highly recommend.

I couldn’t recommend First Swim enough. Having attended most of the other groups there really is no comparison, First Swim are in a league of their own when it comes to the facilities

I couldn’t recommend First Swim enough. Having attended most of the other groups there really is no comparison, First Swim are in a league of their own when it comes to the facilities, swim teachers and overall atmosphere. If you are lucky enough to secure a place for your little one hold onto it…you definitely won’t find better out there!
