Babies
The Aquatots baby program has been developed by infant in aquatic specialists who are passionate about teaching babies to swim and survive at an early age. The program will not only enhance your child's enjoyment of the aquatic environment but will build on their strength, co-ordination and motor skills.
Our baby programs cater for babies from 6 weeks of age through to 3 years of age. The levels are split by age as there are different motor skills that are required for each of the activities.
The program is engaging for the babies with fun activities that not only teach your baby a skill that may one day save their life, but also build on their over all development.
Studies have shown that children who have an early introduction into an aquatic environment are not only ahead of their peers in vital swimming skills but in physical and brain development as well.
Allow us to teach your baby a skill they will have for life.

The Aqua Bubba program is an aquatic development program that has been created using medical professional and aquatic industry specialist input. The program will work on your baby's strength, co-ordination and motor skills using the benefits of the aquatic environment. For 9 months your baby has been surrounded by amniotic fluid. A warm water environment is very natural to infants. The quicker we can reintroduce your baby to this wonderful aquatic world the more natural it is to them.
Your baby has been born with the ability to swim and move through the water using reflexes. Our award winning team can show you how to encourage these reflexes in a gentle and nurturing manner that will enhance your baby's enjoyment of the water and ability to swim at an early age.
Studies have shown that babies who start their aquatic experience at an early stage will not only learn to swim and survive early in life but are ahead in physical and metal development.
Give your baby an aquatic start in life and come and experience this beautiful bonding experience in our warm clean facilities.

Our Jelly Fish 5 class is a hybrid class for children 3 years or older that may not be ready to seperate from their primary carer. The class is a Sea Horse program taught by our qualified instructors in a group situation with carers and children in the water together.
This level is a great step for children that may need a little bit of extra time to progress to the instructor lead program.
In this level children will learn how to be comfortable in the water and skills from submerging, bouyancy, propulsion through to basic strokes.
Once your child is showing readiness to spereate from their carer in the water your instructor will put in place the support required to make a change into the Sea Horse program
Class is 30 minute duration
