πŸ’¦ First Swimming Adventures At The PEAK, Stirling

πŸ€”Got a little one aged 6 months to 3 years?

πŸ’™ So how about joining our adult and child swimming lessons? They're made for babies and toddlers aged 6 months to 3 years.

🎈 Here's a few things that parents love about them:

βœ… It's proper bonding time, splashing about and having fun side by side.
βœ… It's a gentle, relaxed way to build water confidence, with no pressure at all.
βœ… It sets your little one up perfectly for the next stage of our Learn to Swim journey, while you both meet other parents along the way.

πŸ‘©β€πŸ« Every class is led by two friendly, qualified coaches who follow Scottish Swimming's National Learn to Swim Framework, so you know your child is in safe, experienced hands from day one.

πŸ•’ Classes run at The PEAK.

πŸŽ‰ Preschool Beans Week 3 - What's Coming Up?

🧸 Beans is our preschool programme at The PEAK, Stirling, for wee ones from 6 months right up to 5 years.

πŸ‘Ά Our youngest Bouncing Beans (6 months to 21 months) are diving into sensory play this week, exploring our sea urchins with hands, feet and giggles.

πŸƒ Our Jumping Beans (21 months and up) are going for gold with an athletics theme, taking on javelin throwing and running over hurdles.

πŸ§— Every session also involves our big kit! This is our obstacle course of ramps, tunnels and climbing frames, set up fresh every fortnight for the Beans to explore.

🧠 It's brilliant for cognitive development, and it works those gross and fine motor skills without the kids even noticing.

πŸ” We change it up every two weeks so there's always something new to master.

πŸ“… New Beans are always welcome, so if you've not joined a block yet, today's a great day to start.

πŸ’· It's just Β£6 per class when you block book, with this current block running right up until the October holidays, taking care of your morning activity for a few weeks, just like that.

πŸ“ We're based at The PEAK, Stirling, with free parking and a cafe onsite for a post class coffee/catch up.

πŸ‘‡ Comment BEANS below and we'll send you a link to learn more and get booked in!

πŸ’§Small Improvements Matter When Learning To Swim

πŸŠβ€β™‚οΈ Meet Caleb, one of our swim teachers who has been with Active Stirling for 2 years now.

✨ We asked him what he enjoys most, and it's the small stuff, a child putting their face in the water for the first time, or moving up a level after finally mastering front crawl.

😊 Progress doesn't always look big from the outside, but every little step forward is worth celebrating.

πŸŽ“ Caleb is one of our fully qualified coaches, trained under Scottish Swimming's National Learn to Swim Framework, so you can trust your child is learning the right way, right from the start.

πŸ‘Ά Our Learn to Swim lessons across Stirling are for children from 6 months upwards, from first splashes to advanced strokes.

πŸ’· Our swimming lessons start from just Β£25.33 a month, run over 7 days a week across 5 venues in and around Stirling.

πŸ“² Interested in learning more about our Stirling Learn to swim programme? Visit https://www.activestirling.org.uk/classes/learn-to-swim or send us a message if you've got a question and one of our team will get back to you ASAP.

πŸ§— Three Reasons Your Child Should Try Climbing…

1️⃣ It gets them moving. Climbing helps develop strength, balance and coordination while they’re having fun.

2️⃣ It gets them thinking. They’ll need to work out routes, make decisions and figure out their next move.

3️⃣ It gives them a sense of achievement. Making it higher than last time or even reaching the top for the first time is a great confidence boost.

πŸ™Œ And there’s no need to commit to a course!

πŸ‘Our Come & Try Climbing sessions at The PEAK Stirling are available as one-off Saturday Give It a Go sessions, bookable one week in advance.

πŸ‘§ 5–7 years: 45 minutes | Β£7.50
πŸ§’ 8–15 years: 1 hour | Β£8

πŸ“… Just book a session when it suits you and let them give climbing a try!

πŸ™Œ If they love it? They can do the same the following week.....or they can join our main climbing programme.

πŸ‘‰ Learn more and get them booked in for their first sessions by visiting - https://www.activestirling.org.uk/classes/try-climbing

πŸ₯Œ New Season, New Classes At The PEAK, Stirling

πŸ† Do you remember the start of the year when Team GB brought home Olympic silver in curling?

πŸ‘€ If you watched and wished you'd given it a go but didnt get a chance then, you can now.

πŸ™‹ Our Try Curling sessions are the perfect first step, no experience needed.

πŸ” Already curled before and want to build on it? Move up into our Beginners course.

πŸ§’ Junior Rock Stars runs for ages 8 to 17 and takes children from first timers learners , ready to join our Junior Development programme.

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘§ Adults new to the sport can give our try curling sessions a go and then choose beginners course. We've got some new Get Into Curling Sessions this year too if you know you want to take a course rather than a one off session.

πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ "They can already swim, so why keep going?"

⏳ Here's something most parents don't realise.

πŸ“‰ Swimming skills can fade fast if kids stop practicing.

🧠 One term of lessons at five doesn't carry them to fifteen.

1️⃣ Without regular practice, water confidence quietly slips away. Keeping lessons going protects the progress you've already paid for.

2️⃣ It's one guaranteed screen free hour every single week. No tablets, no phones, just movement.

3️⃣ Better coordination and core strength don't stay in the pool. They show up on the football pitch, the climbing wall, even just carrying the shopping in.

🏊 Our qualified coaches follow Scottish Swimming's National Learn to Swim Framework, so nothing your child's learned goes to waste.

πŸ“ We run learn to swim lessons across five different locations in Stirling, so it's easy to keep the momentum going.

πŸ† We were finalists in Scottish Swimming's Learn to Swim Provider of the Year Award, and we'd love your child to be part of that story too.

⛸️ Badge 1 Skill Spotlight: Getting Up After a Fall

πŸ‘‡Falls are all part of learning to skate.

☝️ That's why one of the very first skills skaters learn is how to get back up safely and confidently!

πŸ™Œ Here, some of our Badge 3 & 4 skaters are demonstrating the technique:

➑️ Onto your knees
➑️ One knee up
➑️ Hands on your knee
➑️ Big push up!

πŸ‘€We've slowed the video right down so you can see it in action more clearly.

❄️ A simple skill but an important one that helps build confidence from day one on the ice.

πŸ“² Want to join us on the ice for weekly lessons? Visit https://www.activestirling.org.uk/classes/learn-to-skate for full details.

⁉️ At time of this post our main learn to skate programme has a waiting list. Spaces can change on a weekly basis so it's still worthwhile adding your child's details to our waiting list and we'll be in touch once a space becomes available.

πŸ€” Has your child ever tried their hand at archery before?

🎯 Well, this October at The PEAK Holiday Club, they'll get the chance to give it a go.

🏹 It's coach Melissa's favourite activity to run and you can understand why.

πŸ˜† There's something about lining up a shot and watching it hit the target that gets every kid hooked, no matter their age or ability.

🧠 Target sports like archery are brilliant for building patience, concentration and hand-eye coordination.

🎯 It teaches kids to slow down, steady themselves and have another go if it doesn't work first time, without them even realising they're learning something useful.

🏹 Archery runs as part of our multi sports sessions at Holiday Club, alongside a good mix of other games and activities.

πŸ™Œ It sits alongside a dedicated climbing session on the Tuesday, swimming session on the Wednesday and a curling session on the first Thursday of the October holiday week.

😊 So there's always something a little different for them to look forward to each day.

πŸ‘¦πŸ‘§ It's all open to kids aged 5 to 11, right here at The PEAK in Stirling.

🚨 Early bird price is £30 a day if you book by Monday 31st August. After that date, it goes up to £33 a day, still a great price for a full day of active fun (8.30am to 4.30pm).

πŸ“² It's quick and easy to get booked in (particuarly if you've attended one of our Holiday Clubs this year) so visit https://www.activestirling.org.uk/classes/october-holiday-club for more details.
