All over the world, babies from as young as five days old enjoy the social and physical benefits of learning to swim. Using techniques proven by a number of specialist in this field, Tinco Water Activity Centre will teach you and your child the skills needed for a lifetime of water confidence and enjoyment.

Babies love the fun and freedom of swimming, and sharing this experience with your newborn is one of the most exciting and rewarding activities you can do. Using word association, movement, games and songs we create sessions that are informative as well as fun - teaching you to teach your child. Water safety is also a priority. With progressive training your baby will learn vital life-saving skills such as turning onto their back or swimming to the surface following a sudden submersion.

The first year of your baby's life is crucial in terms of development - being the time when their brain grows more rapidly than at any other stage in their life. Regular exercise plays a vital role in this, with every movement they make helping to strengthen their brain for new learning. Uniquely, swimming provides the perfect exercise as water allows a baby's muscles to move freely without constraints of gravity.

Playing in warm water is the perfect bonding experience, where you act as support for your child. However, our unique techniques also enable your baby to swim underwater from very early on. For a tiny infant, dependent on others for every aspect of its life - this is an exhilarating and empowering experience and one that will increase your confidence as much as your child's.

Throughout the course you will accompany your child in the water - creating an excellent opportunity for the two of you to interact, bond and learn together. Don't worry if you do not swim yourself, you will never be out of your depth and you can use the opportunity to increase your own confidence in the water.

Teach your baby the basic water safety skills which could one day save his life: - jumping in, turning around, holding on, swimming back to the side and back floating.
