tadpoles
Our Tadpole classes are designed for babies who have either progressed from our Tadpole beginners class or who have either attended other lessons or are regulars in the water.
By now your baby will be feeling rather confident and should have learnt or be learning to hold their breath when they have an underwater experience.
Over the courses your baby will have more opportunity to swim underwater even being released. Your baby will swim towards you as you go underwater to receive them.
This is an amazing experience, watching your baby swim towards you with their bright eyes open and their wonderful facial expression they have too. You may even watch your baby swim through a hoop – now that’s a circus trick you didn’t expect to see!
By now your baby will be far stronger on their back and be able to support themselves more and more when their in the water. You will see them interact with you a lot more.
We will teach them blowing bubbles as breath control is a huge part of swimming. We will inspire your baby to continue splashing whilst encouraging the movement of their arms and legs.
But focusing on water safety techniques, for example: how to enter and exit the pool safely, teaching your baby how to hold on and what to do if they were to fall into water out of the depth. Activities will be based with lots of singing and fun and introducing new swim toys, floats and the woggle.
