At Bonnie Wee Bathers Swim School, we provide fun, safe and structured swimming lessons for babies and toddlers aged 10 weeks to 4 years.
Our classes are designed to build water confidence, support development and create happy memories for both children and parents.
Every session takes place in the warm hydrotherapy pool at Woodlawn School, Monkseaton, giving families a calm and comfortable alternative to busy public baths.
Our lessons are run once a week on Tuesday afternoons from 2–4pm, with each class lasting 30 minutes. We combine all age groups into small, friendly sessions, making it easy for families with more than one child to attend together.
The focus is on play-based learning. Using songs, rhymes, simple actions and games, our instructors guide parents and children through activities that encourage confidence, coordination and comfort in the water.

Swimming lessons at Bonnie Wee Bathers help children build early water confidence in a safe and supportive setting. Each session encourages physical development by improving coordination, balance and strength, while also boosting sensory awareness and enjoyment of the water.
From the very beginning, little ones gain valuable water safety awareness, and parents benefit from the chance to strengthen their bond with their child through fun, shared activities in the pool.
