Parents/Guardians are required to get into the water for this class. The class is suitable for children aged between 3 months to 3 years before they make the transition into the stage 1 class where their parent/guardian is no longer required to get into the pool and the teacher takes over. This class is aimed to get children familiar with the pool and surrounding environment. The children will learn basic water confidence and water skills to prepare them for stage 1. Fun and enjoyment are critical at any stage of learn to swim but particularly at this stage. The main emphasis is placed on developing water confidence whilst working with the parent or accompanying adult. The stage takes babies from the initial introduction to the water through to achieving independence. Children who complete this stage are ready to move straight on to level 2, the beginner stage.
