Our Tadpoles programme consists of three progressive levels and is perfect for babies who have progressed from our Tadpole Beginners classes, are already confident in the water, or are at an age where they're becoming more independent, sitting confidently and starting to explore through movement and play. 

​

As your little one grows, our carefully structured lessons build on their existing skills, encouraging greater confidence, independence and enjoyment in the water. Through fun activities, songs and games, babies continue to develop their water confidence whilst creating positive experiences that will support them throughout their swimming journey. 

​

By this stage, many of our Tadpoles are becoming increasingly confident underwater and are beginning to develop the skills needed to move through the water more independently. Lessons provide opportunities to explore underwater swimming, practise safe submersions and build confidence both with and without parental support. 

​

Throughout the programme, we introduce activities that encourage balance, coordination, body awareness and propulsion. Babies begin learning breath control through fun bubble-blowing activities whilst developing stronger arm and leg movements that form the foundations of future swimming skills. 

 

At the heart of every lesson is fun. Through songs, games, challenges and a variety of swimming equipment, we create a positive and engaging environment where children can learn, explore and thrive. 

 

Water safety remains a key focus throughout the Tadpoles programme. Children are introduced to important life-saving skills, including safe entry and exit techniques, holding on to the poolside and developing confidence in and around the water.
