Adult and Baby Swimming
You can introduce your children into our pools from 4 months of age. This is a fun class with nursery rhymes and play activities aimed at increasing babies water confidence. The water provides free movement and stimulates muscle development. Swimming may also assist in their brain development and problem solving skills.
Adult and Child Swimming
This is a fantastic opportunity for you to learn how best to help your children in the water. These classes are for children between 2-4 years old. They are slightly more structured, developing water skills and preparing children for more formal classes.
Gym Nippers
Our pre-school music & movement programme, Gym Nippers, consists of weekly classes across 12 leisure centres delivering structured, fun, movement and co-ordination lessons using large and small apparatus.
For children aged 18months to 3 years we have parent and toddler sessions that aim to improve co-ordination and motor skills through song, dance and movement. 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. These classes will help your child to develop their agility and balance skills as well as enhance their listening and language skills.
Mini Kickers
This is where it starts; where the budding Beckhams and future Figos begin to enjoy the game of football. Our mini kickers football programme enables the children to learn and enjoy the basics of football through a range of fun practices and games. The classes, delivered by SFA coaches, will help develop good coordination and build upon their communication skills. These classes are for children between 3-5 years.
