Aqua Play

Aqua play is a group for infants to come and play a full range of water based games and familiarisation activities which are taken by a qualified facilitator in a social setting to encourage aquatic enjoyment. These sessions are to encourage social activity, exploration, safe and fun water practice. The sessions are not structured lessons but are a good stepping stone for program placement.

Children are required to wear an aqua nappy in the water until toilet trained. Cloth or disposable nappies are not permitted in the pool. These nappies need to be a snug fitting and are available for purchase at reception. It is recommended that you bring a spare set with you in case of any accidents. Parents/Guardians are also required to wear suitable clothing such as lycra swimming costumes, board shorts, rash vest or birkinis.
