๐Ÿ‘Summer Holiday Club - "Activities Seem Too Grown Up For My 5,6,7 year old."

๐ŸซฃClimbing walls, swimming pools and ice rinks for a 5, 6, or 7-year-old.

๐Ÿ‘‡We know that might sound alarming at first glance. So let us walk you through exactly what those sessions look like:

Children learn basic technique, wear harnesses, and climb entirely at their own pace. No child is ever pushed beyond what they're comfortable with. Our instructors are experienced with young beginners and build confidence gradually.

Skating aids are available and most younger children use them, which is completely fine. The session is about fun and getting comfortable on the ice, full stop. Not mastering certain moves or racing around the ice. Just fun.

๐Ÿช„ These aren't scary activities. They're just often the first time they've ever tried any of these things and that makes them even more special!

๐Ÿ’ฌ "I can swim with friends!" โ€“ Elise, age 8

๐ŸŠ Elise is currently working through Swim Skills 4 as part of our Learn to Swim programme.

๐Ÿ‘ She's been putting the work in with our friendly qualified coaches, who follow Scottish Swimming's National Learn to Swim Framework, and it really shows.

๐Ÿ’ฆ Her favourite stroke? Back crawl. But if you ask Elise what she loves most about swimming? It's that she can swim with friends!

๐ŸŽฅ Watch Elise share what she loves most about her swimming lessons with Active Stirling and discover why the pool is so much more than just learning to swim.

โค๏ธ Give this post a like to celebrate Elise and every child who's found their people in the water!

๐Ÿ’ง Water Safety Isn't Just About Swimming

โš ๏ธ Slips and falls around the edge of pools are one of the biggest risks for children near water.

๐ŸŠ At Active Stirling, our swimming lessons teach children how to move safely in and around water, not just how to swim.

๐Ÿ‘ฃ From controlled entries to floating and treading water, every skill is practised repeatedly until it sticks.

๐ŸŒŠ Because knowing what to do in the water (and around it) could make all the difference.

๐Ÿ’™ As a finalist in the Scottish Swimming Learn to Swim Provider of the Year Award 2025, we're proud to be one of Scotland's most trusted swimming lesson providers.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Looking to get your child started with swimming lessons? Comment SAFE and we'll send you the link to book kids swimming lessons with us, at one of our 5 venues across Stirling.
