Bubs n Us
Foundations
Our Foundations classes are designed for babies under 9 months and their parents, focusing on gently introducing little ones to the beach and water in a safe, supportive environment.
At this early stage, babies' ability to regulate their body temperature is still developing, making them more susceptible to cold stress. Due to this, we may spend more time on sand-based activities and parent-led play at the water’s edge than in the water itself. This approach allows babies to become familiar with the beach environment and water in a gradual, comfortable way. We will also provide information about activities you can do at home to develop these skills, including a kids book.
Suitable for babies under 9 months
$120 for a 10-week term
Crawlers
