| The programme is split into three main stages, which are further divided into the three or four levels of each term. Upon completion of each level, your baby will receive a certificate detailing their achievements. The stages are as follows: |
 |
Little Angels
From birth to around 12 months old, this is the foundation stage where you learn the basic holds, how to actively float your baby, swim with your baby and become really comfortable in the water together, as well as have lots of fun.
|
 |
Little Stars
Usually 1-2 years old, your baby will develop many skills at this stage, both on dry land and in the water. The progressive practices within this stage aim to take advantage of these developments, using them as an aid in progressing towards swimming as well as incorporating an emerging sense of fun with many games and songs.
|
 |
Little Clowns
From around 2 years old upwards, your toddler is developing a real understanding of the world around them and an eager need for independence. The practices within this stage encourage this need and provide the opportunity to develop towards swimming independently. As you progress through this stage you will be delighted with the achievements of your child in relinquishing your support and striking out alone.
|
If your baby / toddler is joining us when they are a bit older, we at  will ascertain various facts from you before deciding which stage to start at. For example, it may be that your 18 month old would benefit from joining a Little Angels Level 4 class first, in order to master some of the basic moves, before progressing to Little Stars.
