Baby Squids Salisbury & Andover

One of the questions we’re asked most often over this half term, is whether we offer swimming classes during the summer holidays… so this year we’re excited to launch our Summer Holiday Skills Splash sessions! 💦

These special classes are designed to help little ones continue practising their swimming skills, build confidence in the water, and keep the learning going during the six-week break.

We know many families enjoy fun swims together over the summer (and we absolutely encourage that! ❤️), but a structured lesson can help provide that extra repetition and consistency that supports your child’s swimming journey.

Whether your little squid is just starting out or already making great progress, our Summer Holiday Skills Splash sessions are the perfect way to enjoy some extra time in the pool with our fantastic teachers.

☀️ Practise skills
☀️ Build confidence
☀️ Keep learning going
☀️ Summer fun in the pool

All our existing customers will have an email incoming 👀

Next week at Baby Squids we’re exploring our Fast and Slow theme through songs, movement, play and swimming activities.

Moving at different speeds helps little ones develop body awareness, balance, coordination and listening skills. Whether they’re zooming like a racing car or gliding slowly like a turtle, they’re learning important skills while having lots of fun!

🥚 Bex’s Favourite Swim Song 🥚

Next in our teacher favourites series is Bex, whose top pick is the Baby Squids version of Humpty Dumpty! 💙

We often use this song when practising jumps into the pool, helping little ones build confidence, develop water skills and have fun through play. 💦

There’s always lots of excitement as our swimmers get ready to be just like Humpty and make a big splash! 🐙✨

🚀 Jodie’s Favourite Swim Song 🚀

As part of our Play theme, Jodie’s favourite swim song is Zoom, Zoom, Zoom! 🌙✨

This song is perfect for encouraging little ones to practise their propulsion as they kick, glide and zoom through the water like rockets heading to the moon. 🚀💦

Imaginative play helps children learn new skills while having fun, and there are always plenty of smiles when it’s time for our Baby Squids astronauts to blast off!

🎵 Amber’s Favourite Swim Song 🎵

Did you know that play helps little ones build important brain connections, develop coordination and grow in confidence? 💙

That’s one of the reasons we love using play and songs in our lessons!

Ambers favourite swim song is ‘if you’re happy and you know it splash your hands’, a fun way to encourage movement, interaction and plenty of smiles in the pool. 🐙💦

What’s your little one’s favourite song to splash along to?

🎵 Teacher Favourite Alert! 🎵

As part of our Play theme this week, we’re sharing some of our teachers’ favourite swim songs!

This time it’s Kathryn’s turn. 💙 Her favourite is ‘I’m a little teapot’ because it always brings out the biggest smiles and splashes, and is great for safe leaning jumps into the pool 🩷

🎶 PLAY is our theme of the week at Baby Squids! 🎶

Did you know our teachers all have their own favourite class songs? From action-packed splash songs to gentle floating tunes, music is such an important part of how we learn through play in the pool. 💦

This week we’ll be singing, splashing, exploring and playing our way through lessons, helping little ones build confidence, coordination and lots of skills along the way. 🐙💙

What’s your little one’s favourite song in the pool? We’d love to hear which tunes get them excited in our classes!
Here is Donna’s favourite song, and we will be sharing more favourites across the week 🎵✨

Welcome to our June-July term and our theme of play! 🩷💙

Play isn’t a break from learning, it is the learning!

We are celebrating International Children’s Day on the 1st of June and Childhood Day on the 5th of June - the perfect opportunity to highlight the power of play for your child’s development 💦

When your little one splashes, reaches for a toy, pours water from the sprinkle cup, they aren’t just having fun. They are conducting tiny scientific experiments and developing amazing brain building function in the pool! 💭

Water play is a massive power-up for Sensory Processing and Cognitive Development. The unique resistance and texture of water send billions of nerve signals to your baby’s brain, building new neural pathways. It refines their fine motor skills, helping them to grasp toys, share and builds emotional resilience through pure joy 😄

We can’t wait to see you in the pool next week!
