Thinking of what to get your little one for Christmas? Why not buy a term at Baby Swimmers and give a gift that keeps on giving!
It can be so hard to buy meaningful presents for little ones under the age of 18 months. They usually have all of the cuddly toys, building blocks and musical instruments they need! And to be honest, half the time they’re more interested in the packaging than the present itself. So why not give them something that will make them light up with squeals, week in week out. And something that will help their development come on in leaps and bounds.
Introduce your little one to the enjoyment of water!
Baby Swimmers & Swimmers Academy offer swimming classes for babies from 6 weeks to children up to 14 years in Leeds, York, Harrogate and Bradford. A term of classes makes a wonderful gift for both you and your child to spend quality time together or for the older ones to learn or improve their swimming technique.
Baby Swimmers classes are fun swimming classes for babies from 6 weeks old upwards. They’re a great workout, with singing and fun activities to build a foundation to swim unaided and learn water safety skills. They follow a structured Awards Programme, using STA Starfish and Stanley Awards so you can see your babies and toddlers progress to a confident little swimmer.
There are great benefits for babies swimming at such a young age, which include helping to develop physically, with greater muscle control and hand-eye co-ordination, as well as strengthening baby’s heart and lungs. Alertness is also improved through word association and responding to commands such as “kick, kick kick” or “hold on”. Socially your baby will interact with other babies and join in the fun and games and as they get older sing along to the songs!
Local Mum Gemma says
“My son is now six months old and enjoys the lessons so much. From the second we get into the changing rooms he always starts smiling and the smile never leaves his face the whole lesson! Once in the water he starts moving his arms and splashing everyone and everything in his path. He has no fear of going under the water. Taking a young baby swimming may seem daunting but I can guarantee Baby Swimmers lessons are worth it.”
Swimmers Academy run classes for children from beginners at 4 years old through to advanced levels for teens. Children are encouraged to feel confident in the water and learn life-long swimming skills by fully qualified, experienced teachers. Focus is on stroke technique, distances and lifesaving skills, following the STA Awards from Stanley all the way up to Gold in both survival and swimming.
