BABIES / TODDLERS - Avilable year round at HOME POOL
These are water confidence sessions aimed at giving you the parent ideas, games and play, to introduce your child to the water and build their water skills.
Through songs and chants, the aim is to build familiarity with repeated cues. These cues prepare the child for each stage of the session. For example readiness to go under the water with the use of verbal, visual and manual cues.
