Early Years Swim Programme

Classes start from birth and support babies and children as they develop confidence, movement, and competence in the water.

The programme includes five class levels, from birth to school age.

Classes operate as a 50-week programme, taking a two-week break over the Christmas period.

Cost: £28.00 per month

Our programme is payable by monthly direct debit with no sign-up fee.

If there are no suitable classes please add yourself to the waiting list for all potential classes and venues. The more waiting list classes you select, the sooner you can start your swimming journey
