Free swimming for parents with toddlers at H2O Xtream

Upper Hutt’s H²O Xtream aquatic centre continues to offer supervising adults free entry when bringing their under-5s to the pool.

UPPER HUTT, Wellington NZ, 09 JUN 2016—H2O Xtream is committed to providing a cheap entry price to parents and caregivers with toddlers. The price of entry for children under 1 year old is $2.00, and for children under 5 years old, the price is $3.10. Adults supervising these children get free entry.

Knowing about water safety and how to swim are vital skills best learnt at an early age to gain respect and awareness of the water. H²O Xtream believes that all children should have access to an environment where they can learn these skills and set them up for life.

The benefits of introducing your child to the water at an early age can stimulate their senses to increase physical independence, self-awareness, and language development while instilling good social skills and improving confidence.

“A child who regularly swims is less likely to panic in the water giving them a better chance in the event of an incident while also setting up the foundations for an active lifestyle in the future,” says Krisna Rose, Team Leader of Aquatics at H2O Xtream.

H2O Xtream runs several programmes specifically for toddlers.

Toddler Time is a fun, relaxed, and safe atmosphere where you can introduce your child to the water, with a qualified instructor available at all times. Toddler Time runs Tuesday and Thursday during the school term from 10.00 to 11.00 am and operates on a casual drop-in basis at no extra charge above the entry price. There are no waves or features operating during this time.

Xtream Toddler Time is a special event run during the school holidays where the whole facility is available for toddlers. The Xtream Toddler Time is on Saturday 16 July, from 8.00 to 10.00 am, and costs $4 for toddlers, which includes admission and a slide pass (supervising adults are free).

H2O Xtream’s Wavebreakers Swim School also offers swimming lessons for toddlers during term time. More information is available on our website: www.h2oxtream.com/wavebreakers-swim-school/learn-swim-preschool/
