Four stages of learning
Learning to Swim for toddlers aged 2-4 years old
Swimming with Polly Prawn
Polly guides our SwimTots (2-4yrs) through 4 fabulous stages over a two-year period.
This programme is about helping the swimmers swim unassisted whilst they begin to learn the skills required in different strokes and breathing strategies in the water. Parental support is still required in the pool up to stage 2, providing a bonding experience with their children and building up trust and confidence in their child's abilities in the water.
Did you know? – Prawns are small crustaceans with long thin bodies and spend most of their time on the seabed. Their favourite foods are other fishes leftovers and food that may be drifting in the water.
