Little Dippers (2 - 5 years)
Preschool swimming classes that develop confidence and teach your child to swim.
This class gently introduces some new skills in preparation for the Dippers class. Your child is beginning to enjoy the water with some new-found independence. Our Little Dippers are often extremely proud of themselves as they realise they can demonstrate many important water safety skills on their own. They can enter and exit the water safely, gradually learning to swim short distances on their own. Little Dippers continue to swim with balls and woggles, making learning to swim relaxed and enjoyable. Bubbles introduce rhythmic breathing and activities with the hoop make independent swimming fun and achievable. Simple key words enable the Little Dippers to respond directly to the teacher, promoting self-confidence and responsibility. Repetition with tiny progressions advance swimming skills naturally.
Many customers like to purchase a badge and certificate to show how clever their child is in the water! We offer our own Puddle Ducks cloth Little Dippers badge which can be purchased as soon as your child joins a Little Dippers class. Once your Little Dipper is ready to move into Dippers, they will have achieved many new skills, some of which also meet the criteria for level 5 in the STA Starfish Awards
Little Dippers classes are suitable for any child over the age of two, but for a child to move from Little Dippers to Dippers they must have achieved certain key skills.
New-found independence
Fun with Mum!
