Our adult and child swimming lessons are the perfect introduction to the water for babies and toddlers. 🌊

No previous swimming experience is needed, lessons are designed for parents or carers to join their little ones in the pool.

👉Adult & Baby Lessons (0 -18 months)
Structured swimming classes to help babies become comfortable and confident in the water, whilst also teaching parents safe holds, water confidence techniques, and early swimming skills. These sessions follow a progressive learning plan with songs, activities, and guided exercises.

👉Adult & Toddler Lessons (18 months - 3 years old) Focus on helping toddlers explore the water, build confidence, and enjoy time with their parent or guardian. While there may be some guidance or activities, they are generally less formal than lessons and centred around fun, movement, and social interaction.

⏰Various time slots are available on Sunday mornings, book here : https://ow.ly/vgmr50ZmtXn or via the Active Bolton app.
