Unfortunately we cannot put a time frame to the learning and development process for all children. The time taken to learn how to swim is unique to each individual as it depends on their age, coordination and confidence in the water. Swimming lessons help develop motor and social skills. Ongoing consistent participation and repetition aids the learning process.

• Children can join Parent and Baby classes from 6 months of age. One parent, family member or close friend can accompany the child in the water along with the instructor.

• From the age of 2 years old children can start swimming lessons with an instructor in the Seahorse or Starfish Level.

• Encourage your child to attend every lesson.

• Acknowledge all successes and ignore failures; have a positive approach.
