Pre-School Swimming Classes (Ages 3–4 Years)
Our pre-school swimming classes in Newcastle are specially designed for children aged 3–4 years. At this early stage, the focus is not only on swimming skills but also on developing confidence, safety awareness, and comfort in the water.
We keep classes very small – either 1-to-1 or 1-to-2 – so that every pre-school swimmer receives personal attention. By combining fun games, gentle movements, and encouragement, our teachers help little ones develop positive associations with the water from the very beginning.
Key Skills Your Child Will Learn
Breath control – understanding how to blow bubbles and hold their breath
Floating – finding balance and buoyancy in the water
Kicking – developing strong, controlled leg movements
Body position – building the foundation for effective swimming strokes
These fun, play-based sessions provide the perfect preparation for moving onto our Learn to Swim programme. They also help children grow in self-confidence and independence, both in and out of the water.
