Stingrays Babies at 3-1-5 Swim School
All you need to know about Stingrays Babies swimming lessons!
To wriggle and giggle is great when you’re small, it brings water confidence and fun for all. Little Rays love to learn how to move, push and glide with our Chief Stingers close by their side. They’ll soon want to be free, swimming on their own, to fly through the water to ventures unknown.
Adult and Child Mini Mantas
Swimming Lessons for Babies (0 - 12 months)
Our baby swimming lessons take place in the warm waters of our learner pool. We introduce little ones to the water in a calm, nurturing environment designed to build confidence from the earliest stages. Babies are naturally born with reflexes that support movement in water, and our classes help develop those instincts into early aquatic skills. Using gentle holds, songs, and structured routines, babies learn to float, kick, and become relaxed and happy in the pool.
The benefits go far beyond swimming. Research shows baby swimming supports early brain development, strengthens muscles used for crawling and walking, and helps improve sleep patterns. For parents, it’s a special bonding experience and a chance to build confidence handling your baby in water. With warm water, small groups, and highly trained instructors, Stingray makes those first aquatic moments safe, memorable, and developmental.
We offer structured 30-minute Adult & Child lessons Monday – Saturday, 48 weeks of the year, at £36 per month. Alternatively, our Splash and Explore sessions are pay-as-you-go and provide a more relaxed environment, with an aquatic expert on hand to support you and answer any questions you may have.
Adult and Child Mini Mantas
Swimming Lessons for 1-Year-Olds
Our baby swimming lessons take place in the warm waters of our learner pool. At one year old, children begin to show more independence and mobility, and our lessons are designed to harness that growing curiosity. Through playful activities, supported movement, and simple water-safety skills, little swimmers start learning the foundations of confident swimming. They practise kicking, splashing, floating, and turning to the wall- all essential early-stage skills presented through fun, sensory-rich games.
The benefits of swimming at this age include improved coordination, balance, motor development, and early water awareness. Children also develop trust in their instructors and begin to follow simple cues and routines. Parents remain in the water to support their child, making each lesson a positive, shared experience that boosts confidence for both swimmer and parent.

Adult and Child Mini Mantas or Pre-School Little Rays
Swimming Lessons for 2-Year-Olds
Two-year-olds are energetic explorers, and our lessons channel that energy into structured skill-building. Classes focus on developing early independence in the water, such as pushing from the wall, back floating with reduced support, and using flotation equipment safely. Through repetition and play, our instructors help children understand basic safety rules like holding on, waiting their turn, and reaching for the pool edge.
Swimming at this age strongly supports physical development—strengthening major muscle groups, building coordination, and enhancing balance. Emotional development also flourishes, with children learning to follow multi-step instructions and building confidence through gentle achievements. Parents remain in the water for the remainer of the adult and child programme but will begin to see their child wanting to “do it myself,” a milestone we encourage in a safe, controlled way as they transition to our little rays programme.
From 2.5 years, children can join Little Rays, our pre-school programme, which allows them to attend independently without an adult in the water. Structured 30-minute lessons run Monday–Saturday, 48 weeks of the year at £36 per month. Alternatively, our Splash and Explore sessions are pay-as-you-go, offering a more relaxed environment with an aquatic expert on hand to support you and answer any questions.
Pre-school – Little Rays
Swimming Lessons for 3-Year-Olds
By three years old, many children are ready to take their first steps towards independence in the pool we deliver this in small group environments. Grown ups are not required to accompany children in the water in Little Rays but welcome to observe from the poolside (or take half an hour to themselves in our onsite cafe) whilst our instructors introduce your little ones to the magic of swimming.
Lessons focus on water confidence and introduce short swims, floating skills, and early kicking technique. Our structured progression ensures each child learns at their own pace, with fun themes, creative games, and encouragement that keeps them engaged.
The benefits at this stage are profound—improved stamina, body coordination, and water competence, along with social development through group participation.

Pre-school – Little Rays
Swimming Lessons for 4-Year-Olds
Four-year-olds thrive on being challenged and many are ready to take their first steps towards independence in the pool we deliver this in small group environments. Grown ups are not required to accompany children in the water in Little Rays but welcome to observe from the poolside (or take half an hour to themselves in our onsite cafe) whilst our instructors introduce your little ones to the magic of swimming.
Starting to introduce more technical skills such as kicking, streamlined body position, early breathing skills, and independent swims over increasing distances. Children learn to use aids purposefully and begin practising elements of the four strokes within a fun, encouraging environment.
This age group benefits from improved strength, endurance, listening skills, and confidence in group settings. With safety at the heart of every lesson, children leave feeling proud of their progress and excited to continue their swimming journey.
