“Robins Garth” is a swimming instructor and swimming pool located in Henfield, West Sussex. The facility has been offering swimming lessons since 2009 and is known as one of the most successful privately owned pools in the area. The pool is situated at the foot of the Southdowns, providing stunning views of Bramber Castle and the river Adur, and is located on the edge of the Southdowns National Park.
The pool at Robins Garth has recently been renovated specifically with swimming lessons and pool hire in mind. Careful planning has gone into the design, ensuring that amenities such as parking and changing rooms are optimised for the best use of space. Set in the beautiful countryside, the location offers a relaxed and picturesque environment for parents to bring their babies to learn to swim. The facility is popular among toddlers and preschool children, who enjoy the toys, games, and the occasional sighting of animals in the surroundings.
At Robins Garth, every child is made to feel welcome and comfortable in the pool. Many children attend lessons with their friends and classmates from local village schools in Henfield, Steyning, Ashurst, Storrington, and Horsham. The instructors at the facility understand that the first experience in a swimming pool should be positive and relaxed for the children. In fact, they have even had babies drift off to sleep while floating through the starry tunnel, as baby swimming has been proven to aid sleeping and feeding patterns and tyre babies out positively.
Water safety is emphasised at Robins Garth, particularly due to its proximity to the sea and river. Only the best swimming companies in West Sussex are invited to be partners with the facility. One such partner is Crest Swim School, which offers lessons for babies and toddlers using a fun approach that allows children to gain confidence in the water. Their preschool lessons, without parents in the pool, are aimed at children aged 3 and 4 who are happy and confident in the water and have some previous experience.
They also cater to children aged 4+ with various levels of experience, from beginners to advanced swimmers.
Another partner is SLK Aqua Yoga, which offers aqua yoga classes for individuals of all ages and abilities. Exercise in water allows for a greater range of movement and is ideal for those who struggle with land-based impact exercise or are recovering from surgery or illness. SLK Aqua Yoga's classes are 40 minutes long and include relaxation and meditation, providing a mental reboot in our busy lives.
Water Babies is also a partner at Robins Garth, teaching babies from birth to preschool. They are the largest baby swim company in the world, teaching over 35,000 babies every week in the UK. Their unique instruction programme is designed to ensure that both parents and babies gain as much as possible from each lesson. Additionally, all Water Babies teachers have completed the same training programme, guaranteeing continuity even if one moves homes.
Water Babies has chosen Tommy's as their charity and has raised hundreds of pounds for the organisation.
Robins Garth is dedicated to providing excellent swimming instruction and a safe and enjoyable environment for all ages. Whether someone is looking for swimming lessons for their baby or wants to hire the pool for private use, Robins Garth ensures a positive and rewarding experience.
