Aquatots is a renowned baby swimming school located in Sevenoaks, offering a comprehensive and progressive swim programme for babies to primary school children. With over 25 years of experience, they are at the forefront of the baby swimming industry, ensuring that children not only learn how to swim, but also develop water confidence, water safety skills, and even advanced skills like snorkelling and rescue techniques.
The Aquatots swim programme consists of 29 progressive levels, starting from Level 1 for babies as young as 10 weeks old, all the way up to Child Level 29 for children approximately 7 years old. The programme has been carefully enhanced and adapted over the years to be the best baby, toddler, and child swimming programme available. They offer a variety of venues and classes on both weekdays and weekends to accommodate different schedules.
One of the unique features of Aquatots is their emphasis on creating a suitable and warm environment for babies and children. For example, their baby classes take place in warm, shallow private pools, providing a relaxed atmosphere for new parents and first-time swimmers. As the children progress and become more independent in the water, they move to bigger pools to provide the necessary space for further skill development.
Aquatots also encourages parent participation throughout the programme. They believe that involving parents in the water not only makes swimming a shared family event but also enhances the learning process. Having a parent in the water ensures that each child has a personal assistant, speeding up the learning process and keeping children engaged and enthusiastic. This approach sets Aquatots apart from other swim clubs where children often end up waiting for a teacher to swim with them individually.
Founded in 1997 by Evy Bentzon-Jones, a mother of two, Aquatots started with just 20 swimmers in two pools. Within a year, the programme expanded to five pools and 104 babies swimming with them. As the demand grew, Aquatots introduced the first three levels and continued to expand under the guidance of Evy's passion, enthusiasm, and teaching ability. By the early 2000s, Aquatots had already established itself as a leading provider of baby swimming lessons.
At Aquatots, they believe that swimming is a gift for life. Their friendly and nurturing environment, combined with their comprehensive swim programme, ensures that children not only learn valuable swimming skills but also develop a lifelong love for the water. Whether you have a baby, toddler, or older child, Aquatots offers a range of classes and venues to suit your needs. Join Aquatots and give your little one a gift they will cherish for a lifetime.
