There are four specialised stages in the Swim England Learn to Swim Programme.
Pre-School Framework
This is an ideal introduction to water through fun and games for children from 4 months old. Made up of two stages, Adult and Baby and Duckling Awards for toddlers.
Adult & Baby sessions allow you to be in the pool with your child, whilst being guided by the instructors. In the Discovery Duckling and Duckling Awards, your children progress to swimming without you in the water, but guided by our qualified teachers.
