‘Teaching your child to swim is one of life’s true pleasures’
Virginia Hunt Newman, World Aquatics Babies Congress.
There are many activities for you to enjoy with your baby and swimming is one of the most enjoyable and beneficial.
Little Floaters are here to bring you and your baby essential water safety in a simple and safe program, introducing babies to buoyancy, which will encourage them to become comfortable and confident in water. We teach you to follow your natural parenting instincts, cuddling and praising your baby therefore transmitting confidence in the water.
Little Floaters encourage an early introduction to water whilst it is still a natural environment (babies have spent nine months in the womb surrounded in fluid), the longer you leave it the more unfamiliar the surroundings and the more likely anxiety or fear will develop. Newborn babies also have an inbuilt natural reflex which enables them to ‘hold their breath’ underwater, Little Floaters will develop and stimulate babies natural swimming skills facilitating the progression to voluntary movements.
Locations include: Ashford, Hastings, Staplecross, Pembury, Maidstone & Canterbury.
