Discovery Duckling 1

Discovery Duckling 1 is a gentle introduction to the water for our youngest swimmers, starting from 12 weeks old. These adult-and-child lessons use songs, games and supported activities to help babies feel safe, relaxed and comfortable in the pool. Children are grouped with others of a similar age, allowing each class to be tailored to their stage of development.
