About Jellytots Swim School
At Jellytots Swim School, we believe swimming is more than just a skill—it’s a joyful journey for both parent and child.
With over 30 years of experience across three generations of passionate swimming teachers, we have built a trusted, family-run swim school.
What makes Jellytots truly special is the journey we facilitate for parents and their babies. Our lessons are designed to build trust, develop life-saving skills, and create amazing memories in the water.
We encourage children to start from a young age, allowing them to progress at their own pace, while we celebrate every milestone along the way.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long are lessons booked for?
We book our lessons in term blocks to run alongside the main stream schools with a half term break included.
What does my child need to wear?
If your child is still in nappy’s they are required to wear a Huggies Little swimmer underneath a Happy Nappy, such as a Splash about neoprene nappy which prevents any accidents leaking into the pool. If they are dry in the day then they can wear a swimming costume, one piece for girls, or shorts/trunks for boys. For babies under 6 months you may want to put them in an all in one.
Will I need to get in the pool with my child?
Until your child is able to swim on their own you will be required to get into the pool with your child. The usual age for parent free swimming is 3-4 years old, depending on confidence, ability, and previous lesson experience.
Can both parents get into the water at once?
No, we only allow one parent in the water at a time so that the pool isn’t too busy and the child can focus on one parent.
Can my partner watch?
Yes, we allow one spectator to watch while your child is swimming. We have viewing areas for both locations.
Can we take it in turns swimming with our child?
Yes, absolutely. We just ask that you bring your partner up to speed with what we covered in the previous lesson so that the teacher doesn’t need to re explain each week.
Can I book a trial to see if we like it before commiting?
Yes, we are currently offering one free trial lesson. We will say that usually it takes about three lessons for a more nervous child to become comfortable in the pool, so please don’t give up if your first lesson isn’t the easiest of classes. Our teachers are extremely experienced at bringing the best out of your child, so sometimes a little time and patience is needed. The trial is really so you can meet our teachers, view the pool and facilities, and get an idea of what we are about.
