From the moment you enter the water at our swim school we will be teaching you to ‘water parent’, enabling you, the parent, to respond to your baby’s body in the water and to follow their natural movements and reflexes.

Water Parenting is based on a respect and acceptance of each baby and of each parent-baby pair in a growing relationship which sets foundations for life. Promoting the pleasure and benefits of moving in water with playful and effortless skills inspired by cutting edge research about infant development and the properties of water. We encourage free movement in the water at a time when a baby is both physically and emotionally ready. Don’t worry if you are a non-swimmer, we will accommodate and help you to feel relaxed and at home in the water with your little one.

Going under water is encouraged yet not forced. We teach how to understand your baby’s signals and reflexes, understanding when the time is right to submerge underwater together. This is done gradually and at the pace of both you and your baby.
