Water Workshops

The Workshop

A dedicated space and time for you to connect with your baby. You will learn to become highly attuned to your baby’s cues, allowing you to communicate effectively. Co-regulation is a key concept of Aqualight baby swimming, therefore time will be spent ensuring that you feel safe, confident and relaxed in the water with your baby. Receive advice on hand from highly trained baby swimming teachers and practitioners specialising in child development and attachment. Regular workshops around Northamptonshire. Contact Aqualight for more information.

Each family is entitled to a FREE WORKSHOP for families with children aged 0-2yrs providing you have been referred by your midwife, health visitor or doctor
