Splish Splash

Splish Splash Aqua Playgroup

Support your little one’s confidence and enjoyment of water from an early age!

Help your child to become comfortable and confident in and around the water in our Splish Splash Aqua Playgroup at Monbulk Aquatic Centre! We believe in creating safe, enjoyable, lifelong connections to water. The Splish Splash Aqua Playgroup is a wonderful way for babies and their parents or carers to develop positive connections in a supportive social environment. 

Sessions are designed for babies aged between 3 – 6 months, catering for infant participants attending with their parents or carers. Sessions are flexible and dynamic, designed with you and your baby in mind.

We understand that your first playgroup session can be slightly daunting, but with a fully trained and accredited swim teacher present at all times, you can relax and enjoy safe and rewarding aquatic experiences with your baby.
