The Baby Swim Foundation Programme is a new, unique and exciting scheme aimed at babies from birth. It was created because there was a gap within baby swimming, that addressed the needs of the baby and parent. The teachers involved are very passionate about swimming, they are people who want to learn from each other, who want to share and explore old and new ideas. The Baby Swim Foundation Programme will continually be developing, making it the most comprehensive, up to date programme there is.

Its purpose is to teach you and your baby vital lifesaving & foundation swimming skills working towards actual long term surface swimming. The scheme is split into four levels and when your baby passes a level, you can purchase a certificate. These certificates are really special as they detail what your baby has achieved; therefore they will still have meaning when your baby is all 'grown up'.

Within each level there are 10 elements that are progressive throughout the whole programme enabling this to be a scheme which will meet each and every baby's individual needs and ability as well as yours, the parent. There is a 3 point focus at each level which recognises the growth and development of both you and your child within swimming.
