infinity Lessons
ChildSwimming is fun. Young children will start with a programme which introduces them to the water, developing early-years water confidence encouraged through sessions such as infinity Little Ones sessions.
Of utmost importance to us is the development of the child’s fundamental motor and aquatic skills with an introduction to water and the swimming environment taught through fun and games.
If your child has some swimming experience it is best to book an infinity Assessment to assess the level at which they should start.
