Newborn Floatation Sessions

A Calm and Gentle floatation session offering the perfect introduction to water for you with your baby. Laying the foundations that lead onto and prepare you for baby swimming classes. The sessions run several times a week and are led by a qualified teacher.

Born from water, babies have an innate ability to move freely in this aquatic environment. Re-introducing them to the water as soon as possible after birth has many benefits. They feel re-connected to their womb experience and whilst gently floating in warm water babies are able to relax and bond on a deeper level with their mother and father.

Benefits of newborn baby swimming:

  • Improves sleeping patterns
  • Relaxing for both parent and baby
  • Promotes healthy development
  • Parent learns to read their baby's own unique language and how to respond effectively
  • Birth trauma can be healed for both mother and baby
  • Improves a parent's confidence in handling a new baby
