HORSHAM SWIM SCHOOL

Your baby will be developing and learning, from building confidence and strength to nurturing co-ordination and language skills. You will have the pleasure of seeing your baby having a whale of a time, whilst simultaneously strengthening that bond between you. These Horsham Swim School sessions are a great way to make friends too – plenty of our groups meet up away from the pool.

After spending so many months suspended in fluid in the womb, it’s not surprising that babies have a natural affinity for water; in fact, floating in a warm pool will feel more familiar to them than being on dry land.

This confidence in water can diminish as babies get older, possibly leading to fear. This is one of the main reasons we believe it’s best to start swimming as early as possible — even from birth. And starting early, especially when including underwater swimming, means it’s especially important to understand and work with the natural reflexes. Underwater work is an important and exciting part of our courses. However, it only constitutes a tiny proportion of the work we do: about 95% of the lesson takes place on the surface, and underwater swims only ever last a few seconds.
