The Aquatots programme is the most advanced and enjoyable water safety and swim training curriculum available, designed to follow a child's natural physical and psychological development, through baby, toddler and child years. Coming along to Aquatots is a lot of fun and for many families forms the highlight of their week. The children simply love the in water play and the social interaction with children of their own age. Lots of lasting friendships are made through meeting other young families at Aquatots and many social activities planned too.
Aquatots unique training is delivered through our rewarding fun based learning system over 24 levels designed especially for Babies, Toddlers and Children. Our swimming programme is divided into the 24 levels, each stage designed especially, taking babies from 10 weeks old through to 6 years of age.
We require the babies to be under 18 months to start on the Level 1 (Ducklings) beginners’ course and over this age they can join our Foundation programme for new swimmers from 18 months to 6 years of age. Most Baby Swim programmes provide just a few basic splash lessons with your baby over a few weeks, providing little if any, long term learning or retention of water safety skills. Aquatots system is a complete, safe, enjoyable easy way of learning water safety and swimming whilst having fun. Amazing results and life saving skills are often obtained in just a few lessons. They learn for instance to breath hold, turn to the side and kick from the bottom, all of these important water safety skills that may save your baby’s life some day, making them less likely to panic should they accidentally fall into any body of water.
Most babies are about two and a half to three years old before they have the muscle co-ordination and motivation required to actually lift their head up and breath above water. So until then, make the most of it and let them have the opportunity of early adaption to water. The earlier you start and the younger your baby is the better.
For parents, it’s a chance to meet many people with young families and arrange other social activities, for your children, it’s a gift for life.
Bonus - The Aquatots Advanced Programme also includes: Snorkelling, Under Water Scooters and In Water Rescue skills from child levels 14 and upwards. We have four, five and six year old swimmers regularly achieving unbelievable 1000 and 2000 metre badges.

My children have being going to Aqua Tots since they were 5 months and they love it. Their confidence in the water is growing all the time. The teachers are really good making the lessons fun and enjoyable and they are just the right length of time.
I remember the first time I realised how amazing the Aquatots programme was... I was at the local swimming pool with my son (who was not yet 2 years old) and numerous parents were watching in awe as Jack jumped off the side into the water and turned back to the side to hold on, time after time after time. All done with the biggest grin on his face and without armbands!! Astounding.... he's now an amazing snorkeler and recently swam 500 metres - makes mummy very proud when others in his class at school have only just completed 10 metres!
We've been swimming for more than 6 years now and still enjoying it, just gets better and more fun with scootering, snorkelling, life saving techniques learned. My son went through a phase where he just didn't want to do anything he's told to so I thought of giving up swimming until one day at the age of 21/2 he fell into a pool. No one was near but when my husband heard a splash he ran out the house just to fond he's turned around and went back to the side to hold on., one of the first life saving skills Aquatots taught him. My husband needn't go into pool, just picked him up from side. That's when I realised again why I was doing it and why we would continue together with all the fun the children have.

I would recommend Aqua Tots as it actually works. My 4 year old can swim confidently which led us to booking our 1 year old. The teachers are really good and use language and tone that children can understand and respond to. The staff are very helpful although it would be great to be able to rebook online.
