SENSITIVE SWIM SESSION

Our ‘Sensitive Swim’ session is tailored for children aged 2 to 4 years old. The 30 minutes session runs on a Wednesday afternoon at 4.25pm (term-time only). Sometimes conventional group sessions can be too overwhelming for children who are sensitive to their surroundings. These classes can be too busy, too loud, fast paced and this can be stressful for both parent and child as they try to work with various instructions of a larger mainstream group setting. Our free flowing session is designed to support you and your child’s individual needs in a calming environment where stimulation and instructions are kept to a minimum. Both parent and child can then take the time to enjoy the aquatic playground together learning new skills at their own pace. We create an environment where the parents and children are not under pressure to conform to a set target, sometimes it’s just an achievement to get into the pool and feel safe. Just like our group sessions we still provide a fun environment where we support parents in teaching their toddlers and pre-schoolers water safety and the confidence to aid their pathway to independent swimming. These classes are small with no more than 5 parent / child pairs in a class and up to 2 parent / carers can attend these sessions.

PRICE

Our price for a 30 mins ‘Sensitive Swim’ session is £14. We do not operate on a ‘pay per class’ basis. Payment is required in advance of joining the sessions for the half-term block.

WHY US?

“We enrolled our daughter onto the Sensitive Swim classes with Carla as she was hesitant around the water and nervous in group situations. After just two terms the progress was outstanding. Her confidence grew from week to week and she now attends the Tuesday morning group session and is so excited and eager to attend each week. The calm and supportive environment during the Sensitive Swim sessions helped my daughter feel safe. She has quickly gone from clinging onto me to now independently getting in and out of the pool, pushing off from the side, independently floating using the woggles and even putting her face in the water which would have been distressing to her before. She remains engaged throughout the sessions and it is remarkable to watch her follow instructions with enthusiasm at only two years old. Thank you for making this experience so positive and for turning our nervousness into confidence with your patience and kindness. We are looking forward to continuing with more lessons and seeing even more growth and progression. I would highly recommend your swim school to any parent in our situation!” Feb 2025

“My little boy, after nearly 2 years of lessons, had started refusing to go in the pool and was not happy in the water. I contacted Carla to see if she could help. She was positive that he would benefit from the Baby Swim Splash SENsitive swim sessions.
What a transformation! He now loves going swimming and spends most of the session smiling and laughing. I definitely recommend if your child needs to build the confidence to enjoy being in the water.” Marissa North April ‘24
