Baby and Pre-school
Our baby and pre-school swimming lessons take place in our warm, private pool at Ormskirk C of E Primary School.
They're much more than simply learning to swim!
We want our littlest sharks to develop strong life skills, love the water and splash with confidence!
You can view our lesson times, book in for a trial lesson or term of lessons via the links below.

Baby swimming lessons
Our baby swimming lessons, for babies aged 3 to 18 months, provide a lovely opportunity to be close to your baby in a relaxed environment with other parents and carers. From a young age, our baby sharks learn vital water confidence and safety skills like holding on, floating and becoming comfortable with water on their face.
Our baby and toddler classes are 30 minutes in length and have up to 12 swimmers and their grown ups.
Pre-school swimming lessons
Our pre-school swimming lessons, for toddlers aged 18 months to 3 years, are lots of fun. Songs and repeated actions are used to instil good swimming practices like streamlining, floating, breathing, kicks and pulls. Your child is learning to swim with you in the water, so we’ll guide you to make sure you feel confident and calm.

Benefits of Baby Swimming
Swimming is one of the best loved family activities. It's the largest participation sport in the UK and many children say it's their favourite family pastime. One of the big benefits of baby swimming is that it starts building water confidence early.
Parents that have been swimming regularly with their child have told Swim England how their little one had better sleep, improved movement and how they felt happier as a result – three big ticks for any parent or guardian!
Our baby and pre-school swimming lessons provide a relaxed and welcoming environment which help you build the foundations with your little shark that mean they will be a confident swimmer as they get older and, most importantly, safer in the water.
The benefits of baby swimming lessons are extensive; some of which include:
Beautiful bonding exercise for grown up and baby
Provides a social environment for both grown up and babies
Helps strengthen the heart, lungs and brain development
Improves coordination and balance
Builds water confidence - for baby and grown up!
Double Nappy Policy
If your child is not yet toilet trained, we need you to put a Splashabout Happy Nappy over their normal swim nappy.
