Water Babies at St Martins School is a prominent baby swimming school located in Oswestry, Shropshire, offering exceptional swimming lessons for babies in the surrounding areas of Shrewsbury, Telford, and Wolverhampton. With a focus on providing a nurturing and enjoyable environment, Water Babies Shropshire, Mid-Wales & The Black Country aims to promote the development of babies through swimming while facilitating a strong bond between parents and their little ones.
The benefits of enrolling in baby swimming lessons are numerous. Not only do these lessons contribute to the physical development of children by strengthening their heart, lungs, and muscles, but they also foster coordination, balance, and an increased appetite, as well as improve sleeping patterns. Furthermore, the time spent in the water allows for precious bonding moments, a chance for skin-to-skin contact and eye contact that strengthens the connexion between parent and child.
Ensuring the safety of babies is a top priority at Water Babies at St Martins School. The swimming lessons teach essential safety skills from an early age to prevent any fear of water that may develop later in life and to equip children with the knowledge to keep themselves safe. Additionally, the progression and achievement gained from these lessons contribute to building a child's confidence both in and out of water, which encourages them to try new things.
Swimming lessons also promote social skills as babies have the opportunity to interact with other infants in the class. Parents can also engage with like-minded individuals, creating a supportive community. Furthermore, research has indicated that the movements and cognitive stimulation experienced during swimming lessons enhance learning abilities, particularly in areas such as mathematical reasoning and reading.
Water Babies at St Martins School ensures that their lessons are tailored to each baby's individual ability, teaching water skills through engaging activities such as songs, play, and repetition. The classes are kept intimate, with a maximum of 10 babies accompanied by a carer per child and a dedicated teacher. Each lesson lasts for 30 minutes, an optimum duration that allows babies to make the most out of their swim.
To make swimming lessons accessible to all families, Water Babies at St Martins School offers manageable monthly payments to spread the cost.
