Babies and Toddlers

Splish Splash


Help your child become comfortable and confident in and around the water with Splish Splash Aqua Playgroup at Lakeside Leisure Centre! 

Lessons are designed for babies six months and under, catering for infant, toddler and preschool participants attending with their parents/guardians or appropriate adult carers.

We understand that your first playgroup session can be daunting but with a fully trained and accredited swim teacher present at all times, there's no need to worry.

Lessons are non-structured and designed with you and your baby in mind. With a gentle introduction into the water in a safe and welcoming environment, infants can start to enjoy the water from 3 months to 6 months.

Please be aware that parents should have an understanding of water skills and safety that they can introduce to their child. If required, we can offer parents/guardians further aquatic education with mainstream adult swimming classes.

Lesson Times

Lessons are held on Tuesdays at 9.30am. Please call 02 49872039 to book and join in the fun!

Did You Know?

When babies repeat an action over and over, they’re starting to master a new skill and working towards strengthening their neural pathways.

Splish Splash Aqua Playgroup is amazing for familiarising your child with the water and for early childhood development.

You can get your baby prepared for swimming before you even get to the swimming pool. Use bath time at home to get your baby used to the feeling of splashing and being in the water.
