Aqua Babies Global

Aquababies classes aim to educate parents whilst teaching them how to teach their child. We are the pioneers in structured lessons where each class is different.

Swimming is a very repetitive sport so skills must be repeated until the child’s motor skills develop and they can put movements together. This is taken into in to consideration when the lesson plans are designed. Children have a short attention span, we teach essential skills and add variety to help them absorb information whilst having FUN.

We must manage the parent’s expectations too; co-ordination comes with age and size so swimming takes time. They should exercise patience and just enjoy their swimming experience together.

WHY OUR METHOD IS SO SUCCESSFUL!!

We have different teaching strategies for different age groups.

Babies: We have over 25 different lesson plans for babies.

Toddlers: The lessons are broken down into stages but repeated more than the babies to help toddlers swim as early as possible.

PRE-SCHOOL: We teach the foundations of structured lesson with an element of fun. It’s important that children enjoy their learning process the class should not be regimental.

OUR TEACHERS ARE ALL QUALIFIED AND TRAINIED THROUGHLY

The teachers have aims and objectives, children need songs to help them listen and relax but need to learn swimming skills so instead of classes that are just nursery rhythms we match songs to exercises to help them learn each skill eg kicking songs.

SAFETY is paramount, our teachers ensure that the parents are aware of the safety measures that must be put in place in any swimming environment.

THIS TECHNIQUE IS WHY AQUABABIES ARE THE WORLDS LEADING SWIMMING COMPANY!

The method of teaching used by Aquakiddies/babies swimming classes was first pioneered in Australia during the 1960s. Our founder was one of the first children to be taught this way and she went on to be a competitive swimmer. Julie-Ann James spent many years researching baby swimming to create a program to teach parents how to teach their children with health & safety being one of the main objectives, she then brought this revolutionary technique to the UK in 1991.

Combining Experiences into a Single Program

Our experience of developing and delivering successful baby and toddler swimming programs for the past 15 years has given us a unique insight into this market. Parents are always commenting that they are getting a work out too during the classes, an unexpected bonus. We are constantly evaluating our swimming program in our desire to be the best and it was through this process that we began to look at how we could incorporate more structured exercise into the baby swimming classes and so Parent & Baby Aqua was born.
