About
Water Babies at Aquamira is a baby swimming school located in Shrewsbury, Telford, and Wolverhampton. Their aim is to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for babies and their parents to learn and bond through swimming. The school offers a range of classes tailored to the developmental needs of each baby, and also offers underwater photography sessions to capture precious moments in the water.
One of the main benefits of baby swimming lessons at Water Babies is the development of strength and coordination in infants. Swimming helps strengthen the heart, lungs, and muscles, including the arms, legs, and neck. This not only improves their physical abilities but also enhances their appetite and sleeping patterns.
Another important aspect of the lessons is the bond that is built between parent and baby. Spending focused time in the water allows for skin-to-skin contact and eye contact, which strengthens the emotional connexion between the two. It provides a unique opportunity for parents to connect with their baby away from the demands of daily life.
Water safety is a crucial skill that is taught from the very beginning of the lessons. By introducing safety skills early on, babies are less likely to develop a fear of water later in life and are equipped with the knowledge to keep themselves safe wherever they are.
Swimming lessons also contribute to a baby's overall confidence. When they grasp new skills in the water, they gain a sense of achievement that translates into confidence in other areas of life. Additionally, interacting with other babies in the class helps develop their social skills.
Moreover, research has shown that the movements and activities learned during baby swimming can accelerate a baby's learning ability, particularly in mathematical reasoning and reading.
The lessons at Water Babies are designed to prioritise the needs of each individual baby. Classes are kept intimate, with a maximum of 10 little ones per class, ensuring personalised attention from the teacher. Each lesson lasts for 30 minutes, allowing the babies to fully benefit from the swim without feeling overwhelmed.
The teachers at Water Babies employ a variety of techniques to teach water skills, including songs, play, and repetition. This ensures that learning is fun and engaging for the babies.
Water Babies also offers underwater photography sessions, allowing parents to capture the special moments of their baby swimming underwater. With 15 years of experience in underwater photography, the school guarantees high-quality and captivating images. Each baby is assessed individually prior to the shoot to ensure their comfort and safety.
