Does my child need to be immunised?
Research has been done that now states it is safe to swim babies prior to immunisation.
Children don’t have the co-ordination or muscle power to be able to swim on top of the water under 3 years, however at Flippers &
Fins we teach them to be happy swimming under the water and to be water safe.
Will my child be able to swim once we have completed your course ?
Do I have to come in the water with my child ?
Depending on the age and also the height of the child you may be required to come into the water with them.  All baby and toddler
classes require a carer in the water.
