Exciting news!! We are going to be starting our Little Swim 2:1 classes for pre school children in Westbury Park / Henbury on a Thursday and Saturday afternoon.
These classes are perfect for young children, as there are only 2 children per a teacher, who is also in the water.
These lessons are extremely popular, so please contact the office asap, if you are interested 

Drowning Prevention Week, 21st – 29th June 2014

Top tips on how to ensure that your child is water safe this summer : )

With the summer holidays around the corner, many of us will be heading off for our annual summer vacation to spend fun time at the beach or by a pool. However as accidental drowning is the 3rd highest cause of death in young children, we wanted to provide you with some top tips to keep your children safe:

• Make sure your child can swim – regular swim lessons are not only fun but give your child essential life saving skills
• Only swim at life-guarded pools and beaches and ensure children are supervised at all times
• Take notice of warning signs. If abroad, water safety signage can be different so find out what local warning flags and signs mean
• Check the tides before you swim and make sure you won’t get cut off from the beach by the rising tide
• Safety at home is important too – ensure that paddling pools and buckets are emptied

Teach your children the importance of water safety and particularly never to enter the water to try to save someone –  call 999 for assistance.

So for safer dips, please take care to follow our water-safety tips, and help ensure your vacation goes swimmingly!

Happy holidays!

We have some new friends arriving for our babies and toddlers to enjoy in the pool. The hardest bit has been choosing which ones to invite!

These bathtime toys are made from natural rubber and hand painted with non-toxic paints. They are water resistant and are completely PVC, BPA and Phthalate free. Their soft, flexible, lightweight texture makes it easy for tiny hands to grasp and handle and babies can chew and mouth them with total safety.

Natural rubber is constructed from the  sap or milk of the common rubber tree know as Hevea brasiliensis. It is harvested sustainably without the use of herbicides and is readily biodegradable.

Look out for them floating around the pool soon!
