Aquatic services offered by Pisces Aquatic Academy

1. Prenatal and general aqua aerobics

Prenatal aqua aerobics provides expectant mothers with a gentle, low-impact way to remain active in the water during pregnancy. General aqua aerobics is also available for those looking for a joint-friendly form of aquatic exercise. Exercising in water can support mobility, cardiovascular fitness and overall physical well-being while reducing pressure on the body.

2. Baby hydrotherapy

Pisces Aquatic Academy offers baby hydrotherapy for babies from two weeks to six months old. An instructor is in the water during every session, guiding each baby through a considered programme rather than simply placing them in a float. Sessions support balance, body awareness, head control, strength and early water confidence. They also provide valuable screen-free bonding time between babies and their parents or caregivers.

3. Infant massage

Infant massage gives parents and caregivers an opportunity to connect with their babies through gentle, intentional touch. These sessions can complement a baby’s early developmental journey and help caregivers learn techniques that encourage bonding, relaxation and body awareness in a calm, supportive setting.

4. Baby swimming classes

Baby swimming lessons introduce little ones to the water through positive, age-appropriate experiences. Classes focus on building familiarity, confidence and foundational water-safety skills while helping babies become comfortable in an aquatic environment. These early lessons prepare children for the next stage of learning to swim and encourage a healthy relationship with water from a young age.

5. Learn-to-swim lessons

The learn-to-swim programme is designed for children who are beginning their swimming journey or developing greater independence in the pool. Swimmers progress through foundational skills at their own pace, with an emphasis on water confidence, safe movement and correct swimming basics. The supportive teaching environment helps children build skills without unnecessary pressure while making swimming lessons fun and rewarding.

6. Stroke correction and gala readiness

Stroke correction lessons are suitable for swimmers who have mastered the basics and are ready to refine their technique. Instruction focuses on improving efficiency, correcting swimming habits and developing stronger, more controlled strokes. Gala-readiness training helps swimmers prepare for swimming events by strengthening technique, fitness and confidence, supporting their progression from recreational swimming towards more advanced performance.

7. Adult swimming lessons

It is never too late to learn how to swim or improve your existing ability. Pisces Aquatic Academy offers adult swimming lessons for beginners, adults who are nervous in the water and swimmers who want to improve their technique. Lessons provide a supportive environment in which adults can work towards greater water confidence, fitness and swimming independence.

Why choose year-round swimming lessons?

Swimming is more than a seasonal activity. Consistent lessons help swimmers retain their skills, continue progressing and maintain their confidence in the water. Year-round swimming can support cardiovascular fitness, strength, coordination and endurance while also contributing to mental well-being.

Continuing with swimming lessons during winter helps prevent long breaks that may affect a child’s confidence or delay progress. Pisces Aquatic Academy’s indoor heated pool makes it possible for babies, children and adults to keep learning and developing throughout the year.
