Polam Swim School Classes

Aquanatal


A qualified midwife and swimming teacher offer an exercise, relaxation and informative session for both ante-natal and post-natal swimmers. As your bump grows and body changes, immerse in warm pools for relaxing exercises with soothing music at Polam School's Aquanatal classes.

Parent and Toddler


Each child is accompanied in the water by a responsible adult. The teacher is in the water with the class and there is a fully qualified assistant teacher on poolside. Babies are required to have had their immunisations in order to participate within the course.

Tadpoles


Children from the age of 3 years split into small classes with the teacher in the water. There is a qualified non-teaching assistant on poolside. Children remain in the Tadpole group until they start full-time school.

Teaching Groups


Once children start full-time school, usually aged 4-5, they progress into our teaching groups. The pool is split into three separate classes according to ability.
