We recognise that preschoolers need a different style of teaching compared to school age children to help keep them engaged and take into account their stage of development. We us an activity based programme that builds upon the fundamental swimming skills. These fun activities are designed to reinforce the skills learnt by the swimmers. Learning through structured play / fun activities is a hugely important part of the learning process in preschoolers. We strongly believe that our method is the best way for your young children to learn and enjoy at the same time. This method keeps the class very interactive for the children; in turn keeping the children interested and focused, so they ultimately learn more.  Just as importantly it means that the children have great fun in a structured environment and want to keep swimming!

Our Preschool classes are limited to a maximum of only 4 children per class and all lessons are 30mins long. We have three Preschool levels for our 3-5year olds, as detailed below.
