Baby Swimmers & Swimmers Academy runs classes from 6 weeks old up to 14 years old, with classes in York every day! We have new classes at the Kilima Hotel and also at Emperors Gym starting from September.
Baby Swimmers run classes for babies from 6 weeks old upwards. We have put together a structured Awards Programme, using STA Starfish and Stanley Awards so you can see your babies and toddlers progress to a confident little swimmers. classes are fun with singing and skill related activities. Physically your baby will gain greater muscle control and hand-eye co-ordination, alertness is also improved through word association such as “reach”, whilst looking at and reaching for toys, which also stimulates the natural movement of their arms and legs.
At Baby Swimmers we use simple actions accompanied by nursery rhymes, such as Humpty Dumpty Sat on the wall, where your baby will sit on the wall then lean forward to splash into the water, turn around and hold on. By repetitively using the cue hold on when doing this activity, your baby will learn to do just that and before you know it your little one will be holding on to the side all by themselves, its delightful!
Holding your baby in water is a fantastic bonding experience and rewarding too, as you bond with your baby through interaction and developing trust, letting them float on their backs whilst singing twinkle twinkle little star and looking into their eyes is beautiful. We teach parents to take their baby under water from the very beginning and it fabulous when you get the chance to sit on the bottom of the pool and see your baby swim to you!
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. For parents it is also the ideal opportunity to meet other parents and carers and form lasting friendships as your babies grow
Swimmers Academy run classes for children whatever their age and ability from beginners at 4 years old through to advanced levels for teenagers. We focus on stroke technique and distance as well as lifesaving skills and follow the STA Awards all the way up to Gold in both survival and swimming skills.
