*PLEASE NOTE: You cannot book our Young Tadpole classes online. As these are free lessons and there is usually a waitlist at each facility, you need to contact the facility you are interested in directly either via email or phone and they can help you with this process.

About Infant and Baby Swimming Lessons:
One-to-one fun in the pool
Our infants and baby swimming programme helps babies and small children to become confident in water. It’s also fantastic fun – games, songs and entertaining activities make every moment enjoyable. Each child has an adult partner in the water with them – a parent, family member or caregiver. This person learns how to hold, move and submerge the child safely. Water activity is proven to help with cognitive and motor skills development; it’s also a great way to build the bond between child and parent.
Basic water skills
Initially children learn how to be happy in and under the water. As they progress they learn how to safely enter and exit the pool, kick, turn around, roll onto their backs to float and swim back to the side. The emphasis is on basic water skills that prepare the way for learning how to swim.
Experienced teachers
Every Hilton Brown swimming instructor working with babies and small children has received special training to ensure lessons are safe and fun. Our unique teaching methods are the result of years of experience – we know what works.
