Our curriculum is delivered by a team of highly qualified teachers led by Dotty Harris, the founder of Little Fishes and teaching professional with over 18 years experience developing swimmers of all ages. Dotty combines her years of swim teaching and education practice to deliver an amazing programme that empowers parents to teach their babies to swim underwater, developing core swim techniques and confidence in children as well as life saving skills from a very young age.\n<div class=\"row middleBlock\">\n<div class=\"col-sm-8\">\n<h3>Why Choose Little Fishes?<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"fishesList\">\n \t<li>Great fun \u2013 Our classes are designed to be enjoyable and fun for babies, children and parents too. Your children will enjoy learning to swim with us, giving them confidence in the water from an early age. It\u2019s also a great place for parents to make new friends.<\/li>\n \t<li>Fantastic value for money \u2013 Being parents ourselves we know how expensive it can be to bring up children, that\u2019s why we keep our prices as competitive as possible.<\/li>\n \t<li>Experience \u2013 Dotty\u2019s wealth of experience teaching children and babies to swim has allowed her to develop a unique program which teaches children important swimming and lifesaving skills whilst remaining fun and enjoyable. Our young swimmers gain confidence and self-esteem as they achieve the goals set through our programme. All of our instructors are qualified and experienced.<\/li>\n \t<li>Health \u2013 Swimming is great exercise for children and helps to develop the muscular system, heart, lungs as well as improving co-ordination and motor skills. Parents also benefit, it\u2019s a terrific way to help get back in shape after pregnancy.<\/li>\n \t<li>Bonding \u2013 teaching a baby to swim at an early age can be an experience that helps strengthen your natural bond with a baby. It\u2019s a great way for Dad\u2019s to get involved too.<\/li>\n \t<li>Small Groups \u2013 We keep our group sizes low to allow our instructors to spend time with each participant individually. We find the children benefit from this individual attention and ultimately learn to swim faster.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<strong>Classes in Westerham, Caterham, Godstone and Oxted.<\/strong>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"featured_media":2182,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"directory-category":[446],"class_list":["post-2181","business","type-business","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","directory-category-baby-and-toddler-swimming"],"acf":[],"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thefamilygrapevine.co.uk\/west-kent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/business\/2181","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thefamilygrapevine.co.uk\/west-kent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/business"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thefamilygrapevine.co.uk\/west-kent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/business"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/thefamilygrapevine.co.uk\/west-kent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/business\/2181\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51142,"href":"https:\/\/thefamilygrapevine.co.uk\/west-kent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/business\/2181\/revisions\/51142"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thefamilygrapevine.co.uk\/west-kent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2182"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thefamilygrapevine.co.uk\/west-kent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2181"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"directory-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thefamilygrapevine.co.uk\/west-kent\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/directory-category?post=2181"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
