Toddler Swim at Edenbridge Leisure Centre

Toddler Swim has a number of activities held in both of our pools at Edenbridge which present a fantasitc chance for toddlers to take there first steps towards proper swimming lessons. It is fantastic value and is available to all.

The first step in teaching children to swim is to ensure they are confident and having fun in the water.  Our toddler swim classes are a fantastic way of doing this and there are some fun games you can play at home in the bath to support the learning.  To help teach young children their first set of water skills try slowly working through the below fun tasks, either in our pool or at home in the bath where appropriate:

• Running, hopping and skipping through the water
• Getting hair wet - making it rain in the water, big and little splashes (try singing ‘It’s raining it’s pouring’ and use a watering can to pour water over their hair)
• Floating like a twinkle star on front and back
• Humming, whistling and blowing bubbles in the water – try to blow George the fishes birthday candles out...
