Pre-school Swimming Classes (2-4yrs)
We grow with your child
As parents, we understand that your little ones are growing and evolving with each passing day. At Bobbin Babes, we celebrate this journey of growth and development, and we're committed to tailoring our lessons to accommodate these changes. Just as your babies are taking their first steps, uttering their first words, and reaching new milestones, we aim to ensure that our swimming lessons align with their evolving abilities and needs. Our instructors are well-versed in recognizing these stages of development and adjusting their teaching approach accordingly. We believe that as your children grow, their swimming experiences should grow with them, promoting not only water safety and confidence but also fostering a sense of accomplishment and continued enthusiasm for the water. Your child's aquatic journey is a dynamic one, and we're here to support and guide them at every stage.
Swimming lessons for 2-4 year-olds
At Bobbin Babes, we firmly believe in celebrating each child's unique journey in the realm of swimming. We understand that chronological age doesn't necessarily define their readiness to dive into the pool independently. We offer a delightful array of classes designed to cater to your child's current needs, ensuring a personalized and enjoyable experience.
Our child-centered approach places happiness and confidence at the forefront of our mission. We're not just about teaching children to swim; we're dedicated to igniting their enthusiasm for lessons and fostering a lifelong love for swimming. Unlike some rigid swim schools, we reject the notion of dictating when children must swim alone or with a particular group. We respect the individuality of each young swimmer's journey and strive to make every lesson enjoyable and pressure-free.
When choosing the right class, it's crucial to consider your child's comfort level, attentiveness, and ability to follow instructions. If you find yourself uncertain about their readiness, our parent and child options provide an engaging introduction. This is a valuable opportunity for them to become acquainted with our team, the aquatic environment, and the routines. When they reach a point where they're confidently navigating the water, we can explore transitioning to a different class. Our diverse range of classes below offers various options tailored to your child's unique needs and developmental stage.
STAnley Series
2-5 year olds
The STAnley First Steps Series is an exciting series of 7 progressive awards specifically designed to teach learners from 2 years – with or without an accompanying adult – basic swimming and water safety skills.
A child’s first learn to swim experience is one of the most important in terms of capturing and retaining their interest. We believe the best way to achieve this is to create safe environments in which children can be introduced to the water whilst having fun and by providing a progressive learn to swim programme that is both challenging and rewarding.
This series culminates with the STAnley Star award, which covers all the skills in the 7 awards ensuring that the learner is competent and confident in and around water.
Octopus series
5-8 year olds
The Octopus series is an exciting series of 3 progressive awards specifically designed for child aged between 5 to 8 years old.
This enables older children to access the Learn to Swim pathway and develop their confidence, knowledge and skills. We believe the best way to achieve this is to create safe environments in which children can be introduced to the water whilst having fun and by providing a progressive learn to swim programme that is both challenging and rewarding.
On completion of the Octopus series, learners can progress through the Learn to Swim journey and move on to the Goldfish, Angelfish and Shark series. A child’s first learn to swim experience is one of the most important in terms of capturing and retaining their interest.
