We
believe water safety is about
learning good habits around
water.
Water safety begins at 4 months
with our swim
baby programme and continues
through our
kids lessons.
Water safety for babies
Babies (and parents)
learn water safety routines
which develop with your child's
age.
These safety routines come
together as the
Water Safety Sequence where
children are able to jump in,
turn around underwater, swim
back to the poolside and climb
out.

Water safety lessons for
kids
Every child takes
part in our water safety
lesson which takes place
on the penultimate
lesson of every term.
We purposely deliver our
water safety message on
this specific lesson as
it tends to fall in line
with holidays, a time
when children may be
around the swimming pool
or sea and most at risk.
Water safety lesson
format
On poolside,
teachers go through the
water safety code and
age specific pictures to
help get the water
safety message across to
their class.
Older children then
have the opportunity to
swim in their clothes,
this helps them to
understand the huge
difference in weight and
effort required to swim
while clothed. |
