Our BabySteps Swim Program
BabySteps is designed to help babies, from 6 weeks old, and toddlers build water confidence, develop essential safety skills, and foster a lifelong love of swimming - all in a fun, supportive environment.❤️
Each class follows a clear, gentle progression tailored to your child’s stage of development, supporting not only their swimming skills but also their confidence, independence, and overall development. Our swim teachers are experts at helping children settle in gently so they can still have a positive, stress-free experience in the water.
But of course, not every day is a “happy chappy” day. Some sessions your little one will be full of excitement, and other days they might be a little unsure or clingy - don't worry, that’s completely normal.😊
Across the 12-week program, you’ll see your child grow in confidence as they build strong foundation skills - from early water familiarisation through to moving independently for several metres in the correct body position. Every milestone is acknowledged and celebrated along the way.🌟
A key part of BabySteps is the gradual transition from learning alongside a parent or carer to participating independently with our teaching team. By the end of this program, your child will be ready to begin their SwimSteps journey, where we continue to build on the skills and confidence developed in BabySteps. 🏊♂️
You can easily track progress, achievements, and level advancements through our online portal and app, making it simple to celebrate every success.

"Hampton's offers a very well-planned program that transitions children through each learning phase of swimming appropriate to their age. Each of the stages link together with gentle progressions ensuring swimmers are progressing but not overwhelmed. I feel like my kids are learning such important skills and that they could help themselves if they ever fell into a body of water."
"I love the staff, swimming teachers and support team. My children love sticker week and moving up to new levels and I am thrilled with their new skills and how far they've both come in the pool. Hampton Swim School has quality programs and are ever evolving with things like the new online portal."
"HSS has given our boy the ability to believe in himself - he achieved every couple of weeks, slow and steady! Pushing somebody that isn't ready will never work - but quality coaching will make anybody feel ready ?."
"The classes teach pool safety in a fun and engaging way. We've been very impressed with the program. The constant progression and sticker week are also loved by our boys."
"I like the convenience of managing my children's enrolment online. I also like the prompt replies to my emails from staff."
