Toddler Time
This non-teaching led session is ideal for parents and guardians to come along with little ones.

The pool will be equipped with pool toys, soft ride-ons, diving aids and more. Please note that as this is a non-bookable session, therefore normal capacity rules apply.
Adult and Baby Classes
A 30 minute teacher led lesson where babies (5 months to 18 months of age) learn the core aquatic skills and confidence in the water with parents/guardians. This will be taught through structured play teaching technique (games, sing songs, etc) to create as fun an environment as possible. Children are in the water supported by accompanying adult. One adult to one child is the ratio in the class and the class size will be 15 adults/15 children. Floor depth 0.65m.
