Hey did you know that babies can have swimming lessions from a few weeks old? When my children were very young, young babies actually, I had heard about babies swimming from a few weeks old !! They seem to have no fear at that age, fear is a form of conditioning, they certainly aren’t born afraid of things!
Well there were “new baby” classes, but in London, and seeing as I lived nowhere near London, they weren’t an option for me ! I would have loved them for my babies. If you live in North Lancashire or in Cumbria though, these classes are available! Not just for young babies, but toddlers and older children too. Piranha Swimming School are amazing, with their expert instructors who work with a passion for you and your babies/children.
I recently met with Deven McAlister from Piranha’s Swimming School and was blown away by some of the stories that she told me of how children learn and progress with their swimming, which is also about balance, co ordination, communication and bonding, not to mention lots and lots of fun, but shouldnt swimming be fun!!
As well as being a fitness instructor and a Piranha swimming instructor, Deven is also qualified to teach aquacise in pregnancy and works with mothers in the postnatal period too.
What a great way to meet other pregnant women, then keep in touch afterwards and meet up with your babies, to continue with that all important postnatal support network that most mothers value and appreciate ?Why dont you check out their website?
