Baby Swimmers are now swimming at Willow Tree School and have classes for babies, toddlers and beginners without a parent in the water.
Our swimming classes for babies follow the Starfish Awards, so your little one will gain water confidence and build a foundation to swim unaided in the future.
We sing songs which are skill-related, and also learn vital water safety skills such as holding on and, when they’re strong enough, climbing out.
We’ll use simple actions accompanied by familiar nursery rhymes, such as ‘Humpty Dumpty’, where your baby will sit on the wall then lean forward to splash into the water, turn around and hold on. By repetitively using the cue ‘hold on’ when doing this activity, your baby will learn to do just that – and before you know it, they’ll be holding on to the side all by themselves!
For toddlers we follow the STA Stanley Awards, so again little ones can gain water confidence and build a foundation to swim unaided. For this age group we still sing songs and have fun with games and also start to teach the basic strokes, continuing with water safety skills and teaching your toddler to hold on, turn, then push off the side to swim to you independently. Classes will focus on floating, learning to tread water, rolling, push and glides, diving for sinkers and more.
For older children, we focus on stroke technique and stamina.
