Water Babies at Moorlands School in Leeds is where infants dive into a world of fun and development. Lara, the organiser, ensures each session is safe and nurturing, perfect for new swimmers and their caregivers.
Swimming with your baby offers countless benefits, and Lara’s programme is designed to boost both physical and emotional growth. The little ones build their heart, lung, and muscle strength while improving coordination and balance. Plus, precious moments of bonding happen through skin-to-skin and eye contact during each swim, creating meaningful connections.
Water safety is a big focus for Lara. Teaching these skills early on helps prevent fear of water and gives infants the know-how to stay safe. Lara’s aim is to instill water confidence, offering them a sense of achievement that goes beyond the pool.
Beyond physical benefits, these classes are social hotspots. Babies interact and play, while parents connect with others, building a supportive community around them.
Swimming is also linked to accelerated learning, and Lara incorporates songs, play, and repetition to boost cognitive skills like mathematical reasoning and reading. With classes of just 10 infants, each 30-minute session is tailored to meet individual needs, ensuring personal attention and maximum engagement.
Parents rave about Lara’s Water Babies at Moorlands School, calling it a fantastic journey for both baby and caregiver. With an exciting blend of fun and safety, Lara’s programme offers a perfect environment for infants to thrive in their swimming adventures.
