Active Play and Water Activities for Toddlers

‍

Finding activities that keep toddlers moving, learning and having fun can be a great way to introduce an active lifestyle from an early age. Play-based activities can encourage children to explore new environments, build confidence and enjoy spending time with their parent or carer.

At Active Luton, families can introduce young children to the water through Aqua Tots, an instructor-led session designed for pre-school children.

Aqua Tots at Inspire: Luton Sports Village

‍

Aqua Tots is available at Inspire: Luton Sports Village for children from around 15 or 16 months old.

The sessions are designed to help toddlers become more confident in the water while enjoying playful activities with their parent or guardian.

Each session is led by a friendly and qualified instructor, helping create a supportive environment for young children as they explore the water.

What Can Toddlers Gain From Water Play?

‍

Water-based activities provide an opportunity for toddlers to develop confidence while enjoying movement and play.

Aqua Tots can help children:

• Become more comfortable in the water
• Develop water confidence
• Enjoy active play with a parent or carer
• Explore movement in a new environment
• Build positive early experiences with swimming

‍

The sessions are designed to be enjoyable as well as supportive, helping young children develop confidence before progressing towards future swimming activities.

Aqua Babies for Younger Children

‍

Active Luton also offers Aqua Babies at Inspire: Luton Sports Village for infants from 6 weeks old.

These sessions provide an earlier introduction to the water for babies and their parent or guardian. Babies should have had their first set of injections before joining.

As children grow, Aqua Tots provides the next stage of water-based activity for toddlers.

‍

Booking Aqua Tots

‍

Aqua Tots sessions can be booked online or through the Active Luton app. Sessions are popular, so pre-booking is recommended.

The sessions take place at Inspire: Luton Sports Village, making them a convenient option for local families looking for active activities for young children.
