Water Awareness (Babies) Classes

These Club Swim classes are designed to introduce children to the water and allow them to gain confidence at their own pace. A parent or carer participates in the water with the child playing games and singing songs providing a comfortable and fun environment. Our water awareness lessons consist of a range of activities that promote water familiarisation, including fun and enjoyment, exploration and independence, social interaction, water safety education, skill acquisition and parent education.
