Class structure moves between songs, games, and circuits to keep the class engaging for the adults while providing the skill repetition your baby needs to learn. Our lessons will keep your baby engaged and progressions will adapt to be easier or more challenging depending on your child’s swimming ability.

"Surrey park swimming club is a fantastic centre that facilitates for all ages from babies - mature aged adults. I’ve been taking my child for over 12 months now and she has become so confident in the pool. The educators are fantastic and make the lessons engaging, instructive and fun."

"Swimming lessons at Surrey Park Swimming have become such a great part of our family routine. To see my baby become comfortable and happy in the water has been awesome, and it’s amazing to see her progress with skills like being underwater. The instructors are lovely, passionate, and knowledgeable. The mineral pool has been great for her skin."

"My baby started lessons at 6 months old and after clinging to us in the first lesson has warmed up and now loves to attend her swimming lessons. It is now one of the highlights of her week! At 2 years old, she can now climb out of the pool, wait before jumping in, submerge underwater with confidence and just loves the water. We highly recommend the baby and toddler swim lessons at Surrey Park Swimming!"
