Service Description

Babies have a natural affinity to the water because they have spent 9 months developing in a safe, warm and liquid environment. This affinity reduces over time but by introducing your child to water early it has a significant impact on their comfort and skill in water. It has proven psychological and physiological benefits to infants and baby class is fun!! The SSI Baby SWIM Programme is designed to grow their comfort, skills and strength the bond between you. Using games, touch, and sensory experiences, we work with you to show you how to have fun time in the water safely. From the beginning we focus on safety skills like comfort, back float, wall skills and being safe around water, whilst developing kicking and pulling skills - all to help them develop as safe swimmers. What happens in a Baby Class? A parent or guardian is required to be in the water. You will be shown how to do the skills with your child by the in-water swim teacher. We use songs and games to make sessions more enjoyable for you both. Where are lessons held? We use a private pool in Selsey, we have exclusive access in sessions. How long are the lessons? Each lesson is 30 minutes, you teacher will be in the water with you for every minute. How many in a class? A maximum of three babies and their parents. Do I have to pay in one lump sum? We take a deposit when you book online and then the rest is paid before your lessons begin. We have an installment plan, just ask after paying your deposit for details. Do I need any equipment? You will need your swim wear and it can help to have goggles as you progress, your teacher will talk you through this. We will provide everything else you need.
