Description

GoggleSquad Swim School offers swimming lessons for babies and toddlers in calm indoor pools in Claygate and Burwood Park in Walton-on-Thames.

Swimming classes are taken by GoggleSquad founder Nicola Ayers and lead instructor Suzan Laverick. Both are early years developmental specialists who are highly experienced at working with very young children, where understanding child development - physical and emotional - is key to delivering engaging, effective and progressive lessons.

GoggleSquad is a member of the Swimming Teachers Association (STA) and Aqua Sensory and Aqua Education bodies and we take the very latest learnings to offer an extensive and well-rounded programme of early years lessons.

The early years are so important for helping children get a ‘feel’ for how their bodies move in the water. The pool can be a daunting place for a small child, so they must feel in control at all times and having a parent or carer in the pool with them up to the age of three is essential.

For instructors, being able to read a child's body language (non-verbal communication) is imperative, and teaching parents to read the signs is also vitally important. This leads to children who are happy and confident in the water and ultimately, better learning outcomes.

Not surprisingly, play is the essential foundational component to all early years lessons, encompassing schematic, imaginative, exploratory and constructive play.

The lovely indoor pool at Claremont Place is 10 metres long and 5 metres wide; the shallow end is a metre deep and the pool is 1.5 metres at its deepest, with hand rails at each end for convenience. The pool is warmed to around 31 degrees and has changing rooms, toilet facilities and ample parking nearby.

The stunning indoor private pool at Burwood Park is 1.2 metres deep at the shallow end and 1.8 metres at its deepest. It is warmed to between 30 and 31 degrees and has a changing room with a toilet and ample parking close by.
