Baby Swim Classes (2 weeks to 3/4 years)  

You will find a SwimMania baby course very different to other swimming lessons. Our pool is always extra warm (32c+) and your baby will love the sensation of floating in such a warm, calm and friendly atmosphere. Your little one can join our swim classes from just a couple of  weeks old, you will be amazed at what all our babies can achieve in the water. At SwimMania our courses are carefully structured, with progressive lesson plans for each week. Each lesson we try and teach you and your little swimmer something new, fun and exciting so each session is different. Our lessons are so much fun and babies and parents always leave the pool happy learning such an amazing skill! The babies are usually ready for a good long nap after their swim class and we have been told the little ones tend to sleep really well at night on a swimming lesson day! Our baby swim classes are perfect for you and your little star and our lessons will really help with all the babies senses, it's also an excellent bonding activity for you both! Baby swimming is completely natural; having spent months surrounded by fluid in the womb, babies have a real affinity with water! We look forward to teaching you and your little one very soon for lots of fun!

Big Kids Classes

Our baby swimmers progress into these classes so the parents can take a step back and watch the swimmers progress from our Viewing Gallery. The more advanced classes are for our swimmers who have completed our beginner classes where we will work on all the four main strokes - Front Crawl, Backstroke, Breastroke and Butterfly. We also include in our big kids classes life saving and water polo so all the swimmers are learning these fun skills while learning to swim. 

Angelfish  - Our angel fish classes are split into two levels: weak and strong. These classes are for our pre school swimmers who are able to swim in the water without a guardian. Swimmers must be able to follow instructions and hold on safely to move to this level.

Penguins - Beginner swimmer who are new to the pool or who still needs aids to swim. We have weak and strong classes for this level. (Stage 1/2)

Rainbowfish - Weak Swimmers who are happy to swim without aids on front and back for around 5 meters. They must be confident under water and be happy to jump in the pool. With no aids needed to swim. We have weak and strong Rainbowfish classes (stage 2/3).
