Our Parent and Baby classes at Ascot Swim School are taught by Karen Franklin. Karen is a very experienced ASA Level 2 teacher, with an additional ASA Parent and Child qualification. Our classes are run with the emphasis on fun and teaching water confidence. Classes for babies age 6-42 months are to introduce children to the water through the use of toys, floats, singing and games. We also teach the parent how to hold and treat a child in the water. From the age of 2 1/2 until about 3 1/2 years we carry on the introduction to swimming and start to introduce the use of floats. At the age of 3 1/2 onwards your child is now able to progress to being taught swimming strokes and techniques.
It is recommended that as young children lose heat very quickly, an all in one thermal swim suit is used together with an aqua nappy if your child is not toilet trained.
