At Kingswim we know that taking your tot to swim classes can be daunting. We also know that looking after a little one brings up a lot of challenges, often unexpected ones at unexpected times!

We’re all about providing a warm, relaxing and inclusive environment for your tot to learn in. We keep our pools at a temperature of 32-33 degrees, just right to keep babies and small children warm, and we recommend babies of 3 to 6 months spend no longer than 30 minutes at a time in the water.
The Basics: Baby Swimming Skills
In our Foundation Program, your little one will get comfortable in the water in a 100% safe and warm environment. We have Baby Whisperers on hand at all times to guide you.
At Kingswim we aim for our classes to be the first step to a lifetime of you enjoying the water together, and we’re sure you’ll be amazed at how quickly your tot builds up their comfort, confidence and baby swimming skills.

The tots also get the chance to start being around other babies and little ones and experience a new social situation, which will develop their budding confidence.
As for the practicalities, everything is taken care of. All of our programs take place at first class pools with warm changing rooms and baby changing rooms for your comfort – all year round.
