Splash and play - fun awaits in our swimming pool

Tuesdays 8:15-9:15 (session one) and 8:45-9:45 (session two) | £12.50 per session

Get ready for giggles, splashes, and unforgettable bonding time! Our splash and play sessions transform swimming into a joyful adventure during which toddlers explore the water with confidence and excitement. Held in our warm, welcoming pool, the children will enjoy playful games, gentle water activities, and tons of encouragement as they develop coordination and early swimming skills. 

Parents and carers will join their toddler in the water, alongside our trained swimming teachers, creating a special opportunity to support their toddler’s confidence while sharing in a memorable early swimming experience. 

With family changing rooms available for your convenience, the whole experience is as easy and enjoyable as it is enriching. 

Tots in motion: music and movement - dance, sing and play together!

Wednesdays 8:45-9:45 | £7.50 per session

Tots in motion is a fun, high-energy session where toddlers and their parents or carers get to groove, move, balance, sing and explore the world of music and movement! Each week at our tots in motion classes, we mix it up for a whole lot of fun!  

Movement: 
Tumbling, balance challenges, and exciting obstacle courses! These activities are designed to build strength, coordination, and confidence while having fun together. Your toddler will be moving, giggling, and growing in every way - as will you, too!

Musical exploration: 
Sing, dance, and tap along to your toddler’s favourite tunes! With instruments like tambourines and maracas, toddlers will experience the joy of music in a fun and interactive way, perfect for introducing rhythm, sound, and melody.

Parents and carers will be alongside, helping guide and cheer on their toddlers through every activity. It is the perfect opportunity to bond, laugh together, and help develop essential motor skills.
