Ducklings
We have two Ducklings levels, our Junior Duckling is for babies 12 months to 18 months and Senior Ducklings for babies 18 months to 24 months. These classes usually run on a Sunday morning.
​
Our Duckling Levels provide a great stepping stone for babies and caregivers eager to develop water skills and safety. Our instructors will guide you individually through fun and interactive lessons that will build both your confidence and your baby's abilities.
​
As in all our levels we provide a non pressured environment for you and your baby to learn these essential skills. Our instructors are experts at choosing the appropriate scale for your child whilst maintaining a fun and positive atmosphere.
Class Details
In the Duckling level all classes are 30mins long. Caregivers are in the water at all times and will receive encouragement and individual help from their instructor.
Wherever possible we recommend the same caregiver attends all lessons.
Class Content
These levels encourage a lot of fun parent to baby interaction through the use of songs, games and activities.
Ducklings will continue to work on their submersions as well as build upon their water safety responses. Babies in this level will also start to develop independent movement in the water.
