Baby

Our Duckling Series

Babies are born with natural swimming reflexes. At O'Tooles Swimming School we teach techniques that stimulate these natural reflexes with the ultimate aim of turning them into conscious swimming movements. We are dedicated to helping parents and their children enjoy the water safely. Our instructors are all qualified swimming instructors and have had additional specialist training in Infant Aquatics. Our classes are an ideal environment for mothers and their new babies to bond, for children to begin to socialise and for whole families to spend quality time together.

There are no short term goals with the O'Tooles Swimming School approach, just an aim to encourage a lifetime of love for the water. We want to give each parent baby pairing an opportunity to bond, have fun and progress entirely at their own pace. We will guide you through the necessary steps to ensure your child makes excellent progress.

Toddlers can also join in the fun with O'Tooles Swimming School, it doesn't matter if they have not had any previous experience in the water. The emphasis in these sessions is on play and fun, building confidence and physical strength.

Once your child is comfortable in the water and familiar with the surroundings they will be able to take part in classes without the parent in the water.
