Parent & Baby and Toddler Activities at Horizon

At Horizon, we know how important it is for little ones to stay active, explore new environments, and bond with their parents. That’s why we offer a range of parent and baby sessions, from swimming lessons that build water confidence to toddler groups where little explorers can play, learn, and make new friends. Whether you’re looking for a fun activity to enjoy together or a chance to meet other parents, we’ve got something for everyone!

Parent & Baby Swimming Lessons

Our swimming programme includes the Discover Duckling Awards, an ideal starting point for babies, toddlers, and pre schoolers beginning their swimming journey. These lessons focus on developing water confidence while ensuring little ones feel safe and supported with their parents close by. Through a structured yet enjoyable approach, children gradually build essential skills, preparing them for independent swimming in the future.

The Discover Duckling Awards consist of various stages, each with its own certificate and badge, marking your child’s progress. This structured programme encourages young swimmers to develop at their own pace while making learning to swim a fun and rewarding experience. To sign up for these lessons, simply visit CoursePro.

Parent & Baby Group

If you’re looking for a relaxed yet engaging way to spend quality time with your baby, our Parent & Baby Sessions are perfect. These sessions provide a welcoming and friendly environment where parents can bond with their little ones while participating in gentle activities. Whether you’re looking to meet other parents or simply enjoy special one on one time with your baby, these sessions offer a great opportunity.

In addition to the fun filled activities, we regularly welcome guest visits from GPs and The Breastfeeding Network, offering valuable tips and advice for parents and babies. These sessions take place every Friday at 10:30am at Horizon Waterlooville, and there’s no need to book- just turn up on the day and enjoy!
