Aqua Adventures
Make a splash with St Michael’s Aqua Adventures, our parent and child swimming programme for babies and toddlers aged 3 to 24 months. Designed to be fun, engaging and age-appropriate, our sessions help children develop water confidence and fundamental swimming skills in a safe and nurturing environment.
Led by our experienced Swimming Coaches, each session combines play, exploration and progressive skill development, helping little ones feel happy and secure in the water while strengthening the bond between parent and child.
At Aqua Adventures, our focus is on building confidence, encouraging development and creating positive early experiences in the pool. Whether it is your child's first introduction to swimming or the next step in their aquatic journey, we aim to lay the foundations for a lifelong love of the water in a welcoming and supportive setting.
We can't wait to welcome you and your little one to the pool.
