Each 30 minute lesson includes a wide variety of water toys and games to gently simulate babies/toddlers and to encourage development of the key water skills.
Our cosy indoor, private, heated pool has a fabulous light system, with LED coloured lights and underwater lights, to help stimulate baby. We have ocean lights and disco lights too, and at Christmas, snowflakes and snow effect lights. Our light-up water toys are a favourite with the babies, especially the spraying frog and whales!
Our jet current machine produces a gentle stream of calming bubbles, which the babies love to splash, float, and play in. The unique action of the water current encourages babies to move their arms and legs in the water.
We play fun games and songs to help your baby learn, such as treasure hunts with toys, singing nursery rhymes with actions, and using animal floats and toys in rhymes and movement games.
We have a modern sound system where we play calming dolphin call sounds, wave sounds and sea shanties, accompanied with gentle twinkling lights, helping to relax baby.
What are the benefits of Baby Swimming Sensory Sessions?
Building your child’s water confidence.
Bonding with your little one through activity.
Developing your child’s coordination, muscle strength and motor skills.
Our Baby swimming sensory sessions provide significant developmental advantages by combining water, movement, and tactile stimulation to boost neurological, physical, and emotional growth. Classes stimulate sensory systems, enhancing cognitive development and building water confidence from a young age. These sessions improve muscle tone, balance, and coordination while fostering parent-baby bonding through close, skin-to-skin contact.
