Swimming lessons for babies, toddlers and little ones at Selby Leisure and Wellbeing Hub

We offer a wide range of ways for young ones to get their water wings. Our baby and toddler sessions are about having fun in the water, building water confidence, playing games and making friends before progressing to the Learn to Swim Framework Stage 1.

Information on the Swim England Learn to Swim Framework can be found on their website.

Swim Tots

Our swimming journey starts with Swim tots, a session for 0 to 4 years old. These are drop-in sessions so you can come and go as you please and is part instructor led. Children will be brought together for games and songs and the instructor is there to answer any questions you may have on things like how to hold your child.

Parents find these are a really good introduction to swimming lessons.
