aquatots
Our friendly comprehensive swimming programme is spread across 29 progressive
levels suitable for the early introduction of babies, from 10 weeks old in our
Level 1, right through to children of approximately 7 or 8 years in our Child
Level 29. We not only teach the children how to swim but also, water confidence,
water safety and when older, snorkeling, rescue and how to use underwater
scooters! And you can choose between many venues with weekday or weekend classes
Not only has the Aquatots programme been carefully enhanced and adapted over the
22 years to be the best Baby, Toddler and Child swimming program available, but
we also take care to ensure that the babies and children are swimming in a
suitable and warm environment. For example our baby classes will always be
taught in warm, shallow private pools ensuring the perfect relaxed surroundings
for new parents and first time swimmers. Once the children are able to swim
independently, we move to bigger pools providing the extra space required, so
all swimmers are encouraged to develop their skills to their maximum potentials.
We also want and need our parents to join us in the water throughout the
programme, even into the later swim levels. This not only keeps this activity as
a shared family event ensuring learning continues outside of our lessons, on
holiday for example, but also avoids that common issue in many other swim clubs
without parents, where children sadly spend lots of wasted time waiting for a
Teacher to swim with each one individually. During that time they often start to
get bored and lose their enthusiasm. Having a parent in the water ensures that
each child has a personal assistant at all time, to enhance and speed up the
learning process altogether.
