Splish Splash: 3 to 6 months
Our Splish Splash program is a free water familiarisation class for babies aged 3 to 6 months. Each session is all about helping your little one feel happy and comfortable in the water with gentle holds and playful interaction.
Infant level one: 6 months to 1 year
These lessons build early water confidence and foundational aquatic skills with the support of a parent or carer. Through playful, guided activities, children are introduced to safe water practices, breath control, floating, buoyancy, and gentle movement - helping develop comfort, awareness, and early swimming readiness in a secure environment.
Infant level two: 1 to 2 years
This level supports the transition from water familiarisation to early independence. With guided activities, swimmers build confidence, coordination, and safe water habits while developing breath control, floating, rotation, and purposeful movement. A key focus is improving mobility and safety, including confidently holding the pool edge.
Infant level three: 2 to 3 years
This level focuses on building independence and confidence in the water. Children learn to control their movements and safety while developing breath control, submersion, rotation, and coordinated swimming actions. Key milestones include entering and exiting the water independently, pushing and gliding toward a target, and safely jumping in and returning to the pool edge.
