To book a course, please send an email to here. When making your booking, please be sure to include:
- Your child’s name
- Course IDs that reflect the bookings you would like to make
- Your preferred time slot
- A second time slot if you can (incase your first choice is fully booked)
- A day and evening phone number
When viewing the schedules below, please bear in mind the following things:
- Instructor change. Mandy will be teaching the tadpole groups in May and June and Fiona will be teaching the July and August groups. All important information will be passed on from Monday to Fiona as in past years and Mandy will still be on poolside in July and August.
- Feel free to book multiple courses. As May is usually a busy month, the May courses are once a week only, but I encourage you to book two courses so that your child can swim twice a week. Monday and Wednesday courses pair together perfectly. Students who swim twice a week are much more settled and progress more than those that swim once a week.
- Age range is more of a guideline than a hard fast rule. If you are interested in a course that is different from your child’s actual age, please send an email to discuss.
- Tadpole siblings. if you have two children under the age of three you, you may book both children into the same course, provided you one adult in the pool per child. Chose the course that suits the older child's age and then we will adapt the lesson for the younger one where necessary.
- Older siblings in need of 1:1 lessons. If you have another child who is 3 or older who you wish to have lessons at a similar time as you and your tadpole, please let me know at the time of booking. I won't be able to book your older child in for 1:1s yet as that schedule is not ready yet, but it is helpful for me to know in advanced so that I can do everything possible to have all your children swimming at a similar time.
- Shaded courses are fully booked. Please ask to be placed on the waitlist if the course you wish to take is fully booked. Cancellations are rare, but there is always a chance. Also, it is possible that more courses may open. In this event, those students that are waitlisted will be contacted via email.

Benefits of swimming
There are many reasons to enroll your baby into swimming lessons.
These are the main ones: 
- To provide a safe and positive environment for a child’s first water based experiences
- To develop motor-skills linked to swimming
- To develop skills that might help them in a survival situation
Baby swimming lessons will not make your child safe around the water. Often the child will gain confidence and develop a love of the water which can make him more of a danger to himself around the water. Parents must be even more cautious when your child is around water.
There are other non-water related benefits as well. Swimming can also help to:
- Stimulate appetite
- Encourage good-quality naps and sleep
- Improve balance and co-ordination
- Develop neck and back muscles used during tummy-time
- Introduce rolling
Click here to view a 3-minute video clip of a tadpole lesson. All of the students in this video are between two and three years old. These babies are all in their second or third year of swimming lessons.
Private groups
There are pre-allotted courses available to arrange a private group for yourself and up to nine friends. Time allotments are limited for private groups, so book early to avoid disappointment. For more details, please click here.
Newborns
After leaving the womb, babies quickly forget the sensation of being in liquid, but with a few lessons, you, the parent, can learn how to help your child retain that memory and continue to feel safe and comfortable in the water. The minimum requirements for swimming lessons are that your baby’s umbilical chord has completely healed and that you have had approval from his/her pediatrician. For more details, please click here.
