 AquaKids Beginners Parent and Child 

The Beginners class is for Parent and child. We use the Shaw Method of Swimming which is all about alignment in water and learning to swim stress free.

These classes teaches the parent how much support to give, as and when required in the water, so that you can practice at your leisure. We don’t use any form of floatation aids, as this gives a false sense of the water, inhibits movement and can put children off balance and out of alignment.

This course is great for building confidence in children who are afraid or lacking confidence and for those who are confident and are almost swimming independently but just need that little bit extra guidance. Being in the water every day makes a massive difference to once a week. Anything that you are learning to do from reading to riding a bike or swimming, if practiced every day is learnt a lot faster and conquered quicker.

Up to 10 children in a class.

Age 3-7 yrs (I do take children slightly older in this class)

This class also caters for some children with SEN

This class is for children with Special educational needs that would struggle to join in my other classes.

In these classes I use the Shaw Method of swimming which is all about alignment in water and swimming stress free, along with some of the concepts of the Halliwick Method of swimming, which teaches balance control, floatation, rotation, up thrust, turbulent gliding, and simple swimming progression.

We don’t use floatation aids as this inhibits movement, puts children off balance and out of alignment and gives a false sense of the water, so the adult is also being taught what support to give as and when is necessary.

I also use some signing in these classes, along with a communication board for those that would like to use one.

Up to 8 children in the class.
