Whether it's your baby's very first swim, or your little one is having regular swimming lessons, our Under 5's session is perfect for your baby, toddler or pre-schooler to enjoy swimming in our lovely warm water without the noise from the bigger kids!
We know that babies small children can sometimes find the noise and excitement of older children a little overwhelming. That's why we've created this special swim session just for them!
Our pool is a lot warmer than a standard pool, heated to around 33 degrees for hydrotherapy, which is also perfect for small children who can get chilly quickly in a regular leisure centre pool. Your little one will be able to enjoy the water for the full session without needing a baby wetsuit to keep them warm or getting out of the pool early.
We have sensory lighting and baby-friendly music playing for the children (and parents!) to enjoy, and floats and pool toys are available for you to use during your session, or you are more than welcome to bring your own.
Starfish Hydrotherapy pool is also smaller than many of the bigger leisure centre so it's a much quieter environment, we only have one session running at a time so it never feels too busy or overcrowded. We have plenty of free parking and level access to the pool.
We welcome all parents and carers, so if it's your baby's first swim both parents can join your baby in the water, you could even bring grandparents too.
Before you attend the pool you’ll need to book and pay for your session in advance. When you arrive you’ll just need to give one of our friendly team your booking reference and you can come right in! We understand that little ones can be unpredictable and sometimes circumstances mean you’re not able to attend, so if you need to move your booking to another date or time you can do this simply online or by calling the pool. We hope to welcome you and your little one to the pool very soon!
