PLAY - WITH PURPOSE 💖LEARNING AS PLAY💘
Play isn't a break from learning-it is the learning!
It's International Children's Day on 1st June and Childhood Day on 5h June and the perfect opportunity to highlight the power of play for your child's development.
And all those wonderful childhood memories you are making in the pool together.
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!
The Developmental Benefit:
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 pool joy.
What is your baby's absolute favourite pool toy or nursery rhyme right now? Tell us in the comments below and we'll make sure it's part of lesson plan!

The wonderful has shared her swimming journey with us and its so lovely to see how her gorgeous family are having so much fun and making wonderful progress in the pool!
She says: "I have been taking Little Miss Wi******er to classes at since she was 4 months old and it was one of the best things I chose to do. These classes are great because:
🩵The themed classes and games. Every week is so different and centred around a different topic. It's fun for the kiddos and you (as a parent).
❤️The imagination of the teachers to create these bespoke classes every week - just incredible!
The teachers are amazing. Little Miss Wi******er has had two teachers since starting Alex and Naomi (and we only had to change teachers due to me returning to my day job after mat leave.) They have been ever so kind, warm, friendly, caring, understanding and so knowledgeable. They really have shaped how confident LMW is now with water and I couldn't be more grateful.
🩵Small classes means that LMW has loads of personal attention which I believe has helped her excel so much in her swimming.
❤️The hospital swimming pool facilities are great. The pool is so warm, so perfect for really little ones. And the changing area is huge. Large cubicles, easily fitting two adults and a child (as sometimes it takes both of you) and also they come with changing mats.
🩵The classes have taught LMW water safety techniques which are essential life skills as well as teaching her to have fun in water!
These classes I just would highly recommend as they really are the highlight of mine and LMW week. I am so excited to now begin that journey again with Junior Wi******er."

Giant leaps of confidence! Look at you go!
One, two, three... SPLASH! 💦 It’s Jumping
Week!
Jumping into the pool is a milestone
moment for every Baby Squid.
It’s the ultimate test of trust and bravery. When
your little one takes that leap, they are
gaining:
Safe Entry Awareness: Learning where and
how it is safe to enter the water.
Explosive Leg Strength: Building the power
needed for kicking later on.
Confidence Boosts: Overcoming the big
splash fear builds a can-do attitude and
great sense of achievement that stays with
them long after they dry off.
Who’s ready for a big jump today? Lets
1,2,3 Go Baby Squids!
Every splash has a story and every game has a goal. That’s the Baby Squids way!
