🎓 GCSE results are in.
For many young people, today is about celebrating and being with friends.
If your teenager is heading out today, now is a good time to Have The Conversation about staying safe, especially if their plans involve time near water.

A simple chat about making good decisions, looking out for friends and avoiding unnecessary risks around water could make all the difference.

Is your little one between 5 to 8 years and not quite ready to leave your side?

These lessons are perfect for nervous or less confident swimmers who will benefit from having a parent/carer in the water with them.

🌊Lessons teach the basics of swimming through play and fun.

♥And is a gentle introduction to swimming without the pressure of separating.
Sometimes having a familiar face besides them is all they need to feel safe and settled and ready to learn to swim.

Behind the scenes at Time2Swim with Jo Keniston 🌊
Have you ever wondered why so many toys?
It might look like a toy shop but every piece of equipment has a purpose from scooping, to pouring, blowing, to reaching, kicking, floating and exploring.
Play is one of the best ways for little swimmers to learn to swim 🧸
