Water Baby
Most babies adore being in the water. After all, it was their natural element for nine months! That's why they'll really fall for Raindrops...fun, half-hour swimming sessions with Mum, Dad or a carer (plus lots of toys) in the water with them!
The course is specifically designed to encourage water confidence, co-ordination and early safety skills in children aged 6 months to 3 years. Every session is full of songs, games and laughter - and is a great way to develop fitness, strength and social skills in the pre-school child. Classes are taught by qualified and specialist staff who hold relevant qualifications with both the Amateur Swimming Association and Royal Life Saving Society.
Children who have attended this introductory course will automatically be given a place on Harrogate District's Rainbow Swimming Development Scheme when they are approximately 3 years old. Some are already strong and confident swimmers by this age!
If you'd like to help your child enjoy and respect the water at the earliest opportunity, Raindrops is the very best start you could give them. Classes are held at each of our four pools throughout the week and at weekends.
Why not book your little one onto a Raindrops course today! Simply contact our Site Teams, or the Swimming Development Team.
