"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!"
