Welcome to Swimkidz

We are an ASA (amatuer swimming association) affilliated swim school who also work closely with the STA (swimming teachers association).  Our  unique baby and toddler swimming classes are where your little one will learn life saving skills in a caring and happy environment.  Your baby/toddler will gain confidence and water safety skills without the use of armbands or flotation jackets.  Our lessons are fun, energetic and specifically designed around the needs of your child. We promote a strong ethos of putting your child’s happiness first.

Toddlers usually start to show clear signs of surface swimming around 2 ½ years old when they have gained the strength to raise their head to breath.  Most toddlers who join our programme are able to swim at least 10mtrs before they start school and will learn to love swimming for life!!

Instructors are ASA or STA qualified with Specialist baby swimming training, life saving qualifications with baby, child and adult resuscitation.  We also have our own Tutor who delivers ongoing training and assessments for all Instructors.  Instructors and helpers are CRB (criminal records bureau) checked.

We encourage learning through a range of movements and water play. Submersions are a regular and happy part of our programme.  A vast majority of our toddlers are from baby swimming classes who have learnt early breath holding skills.  However, if your child has not participated in such lessons then they will be grouped accordingly and will never be submerged until they are ready.

Our lessons are fun and rewarding and provide the perfect bonding experience for you and your child.  We use pools that are normally heated to around 30 degrees as we find that children respond better in the comfort of a warm water pool.
