At Aquatots, we really appreciate the value of family holidays. Having time away from the everyday normal, to make memories with your little ones before they are all grown up, is so important, but those holidays can be over so quickly!! The Aquatots Summer Swimming Term, however, will give you weeks and weeks of fun bonding time over the Summer months, whatever the weather, whilst continuing the amazing progress made already in your Spring Term. Continuing that progress and avoiding…

What makes this event even more remarkable is the age of the swimmers involved and the incredible stamina they display as they continue to swim! It's important to note the concerning national statistic: 1 in 3 children leave Primary School unable to swim, which means that 1 in 3 children by the age of 11 lack this essential skill. On average, Aquatots children swim 5 Meters independently between the ages of 3 and 4. By the time they start Primary…
With the sun out and summer finally arriving, you’re probably thinking of activities to enjoy with your children, and no doubt some of these involve water – dusting off the paddling pool, playing around in other water features, taking a trip to the beach or maybe a holiday abroad. As parents, we love to see our children enjoying the water, but of course, we also want them to be safe and with over 70% of UK child drownings/accidents in water…
Swimming in a combined class? - No problem ! Sometimes it is necessary for Aquatots to combine 2 different levels into one class for the following term. Normally, in our Baby and Toddler programme, the levels that we combine will be back to back (eg. level 3 & level 4) however, very occasionally in our Toddler or Child programme, these levels could be two or three apart (eg. level 19 & level 21). Sometimes you will be aware that your…

Many of our best and most successful swimmers have been in that situation for a while and come through to be our best swimmers!! Sadly this is quite often the time when parents question whether to continue or not. Our advice is…
