Ducklings Baby and Toddler swimming classes are suitable for babies from as young as six weeks old. Our classes are small and intimate to allow maximum attention for each and everyone in the class.

 

Ducklings aim to create a friendly, fun, unintimidating and non-competitive atmosphere for you and your child. The classes will help to develop you child's physical and mental skills as well as their self confidence.

 

Research has shown that babies who swim are far better developed physically, socially and mentally with improved eating and sleeping patterns.

 

We use the Birthlight method for baby and toddler swimming, which is recognised as the most proficient and holistic approach and demands the highest teaching standards.

 

Inspired by Amazonian Forest people and developed by Francoise Freedman's fieldwork with them, Birthlight's methods are designed to create an excellent foundation for the child's future in the water. They promote safe practices and confidence.

 

Course info

 

Ducklings courses are normally booked in blocks of 12 - 14 lessons to fall in line with school term time. Lessons are 30 minutes long and one adult is required to be in the water with each child.

 

Crash Courses

 

We also offer crash courses; these take place during all school holidays. Crash courses are perfect for parents who only have 'time off' during school holidays or for swimmers that are awaiting a weekly place.

 

Compulsory Swim Wear

 

For health & safety reasons it is compulsory that all children that are not yet potty-trained wear a 'Konfidence Swim Nappy', plus a second layer of a 'Konfidence Nappicova' (see shop to view products in detail).
