Baby Swimming Reepham:

Learning to Love the Water

Developmental Progression

Our lessons are structured to follow your baby’s growth and development. We begin growing your confidence in the water with your newborn, through sensory work, processing of reflexes and introducing age-appropriate developmental skills.

Water Confidence

As skills are taught and trust between parent, child and the water grows, so does the confidence of both the parent and the child.

Safety Skills

We teach a safe and healthy respect for the water by introducing safety skills early on. Jumping in, holding on, waiting for permission to enter the pool…..all these are taught and more!

Bonding

Swimming with your child is a very special bonding moment: through enjoying movement, songs and rhymes together, eye contact, praise and love, and LOADS of fun . . . along with plenty of cuddles!

Dads & Kids

Who says mums get to have all the fun? Dads are welcome to join in with ANY of our classes.

We love to see daddies having fun and spending quality time with their children in the water. In some classes, where space allows, we are able to encourage both parents to bring their babies or toddlers swimming, so that it can be a special, family bonding experience. (max no. of adults allowed in the pool during a toddler/baby lesson is 10)

FAQ

How old does my baby have to be?
Babies are welcome from newborn, as soon as mum feels ready to come into the pool after the birth.

What should my baby wear for swimming?
The pool is lovely and warm, so a wetsuit for baby is not needed. Baby just needs to wear a DOUBLE LAYER, a swim nappy with another layer over the top.

I’m not a great swimmer…
Parents do NOT need to be able to swim to join in with a class. We are there to help you and teach you how to hold your baby safely in the water.

How long is a swimming lesson?
We offer 30 minute sessions, there is no rush and lots of time to enjoy bonding with your baby.

Do I need to bring armbands or anything else for my baby?
We don’t use armbands at Smart Swim. Any floatation devices we need, and any other equipment, is all on site. Plus we have changing mats, high chairs and travel cots for your use on pool side and in the changing rooms.

Smart Swim number ratios:
Baby and Toddler swimming: 6-8 child and parent pairs
3-5yrs Toddler Swimming: 5 children to 1 teacher
After School swimming: 9 children to 2 teachers
Private lessons: 1-4 children to one teacher

Do you offer private lessons?
We do offer one to one private lessons for both children and adults to cater for those who want a tailor made lesson to suit their own individual needs. These cost from £30 for half an hour.
