Starfish classes are repetitive, but that’s how we learn. Remember that your baby swims for 30mins once a week. A few tips to receive the most benefits from your classes:

  • Teach safety as a priority
  • Use strong simple repetitive cues such as “wait”, “ready go”
  • Don’t let your experience get in the way of what they can really do
  • If you have any concerns or questions don’t hesitate to ask

All starfish babies are required to wear a Little Toggs reusable nappy ABOVE ALL: ENJOY YOUR TIME WITH YOUR CHILD
