Gym Nippers
Try our fantastic music and movement programme, Gym Nippers to keep your little ones fit and healthy. Gym Nippers consists of weekly classes across 9 leisure centres delivering structured, fun, movement and co-ordination lessons using large and small apparatus. Gym Nippers is split into two sections:
Parent and Toddler – for children aged 18months to 3 years we have P & T classes that aim to improve co-ordination and motor skills through song, dance and movement. Our coaches are all pre-school qualified and highly experienced working with this age group.
3 – 5 years - Three to five year olds can attend gym nippers sessions that will develop self confidence and social skills. Landing and shaping, locomotor and dance, rotation and rebound are covered in theses sessions. Young gymnasts will also learn about levels and direction, balances and shapes, swing and turns and twists.
Both these classes will help your child develop their agility and balance skills as well as enhance their listening, language and social development skills.
In addition to these we also have Gym Swim available at Portobello Swim Centre. ‘GymSwim’ is a combined programme of preschool adult and child swimming and adult and child gymnastics, encompassing two of the three recognised fundamental activities for preschool children and therefore attaches huge health benefits in addition to skill development, social development, language and listening skill enhancement....and of course they'll have fun just being with you! This will be open to Parents and Toddlers (2 – 4years only).
