The activity

Swimming, explained

Swimming lessons teach water confidence, breath control, floating and stroke technique step by step. At Aqua-Tots Dubai, the youngest start in Parent & Tot classes from 4 months old, swimming alongside a parent, and children then move up through the school's swim levels as their skills grow, up to age 12. Each lesson lasts 30 minutes, which the school says is the length young children can focus for while still having fun. Regular lessons build fitness, coordination and a genuine safety skill in a city full of pools and beaches, and progress is easiest to see when children swim every week.

Who it's for

At Al Quoz, children of all abilities from 4 months to 12 years old; babies start in Parent & Tot classes. Ask the Baniyas school which ages and levels it teaches.
