Aquatic
Water is a fun and enjoyable environment for children. Time spent in the water assists in a child's physical and intellectual development. The ability to safely enjoy the water benefits us throughout life. Positive experiences begin from birth - bath time is the ideal introduction to the aquatic experience. Parents and carers can encourage children to feel comfortable in the water by playing and making bath time fun.
What is Keep Watch?
