Playroom is usable indefinitely, and of course free of charge. To place a stroller club members can use the designated areas before entering the club itself. There are covered “parking” places for strollers, on the site of the club. At the reception of the club it is also possible to borrow for free to shackle lock the stroller if you have forgotten your at home.

Their many years of experience with children from the very smallest to preschoolers is a guarantee of quality services in the specialization. This fact is confirmed by the positive reviews from our past and present clients.
We try to make our approach to our members was not only at a high level, but we also want to have the club still in the highest quality. In the last year we in your club decided to make major reconstruction and modernization of the pool and of the rest of the club.

Why is infant swimming popular?
Infant swimming became part of a healthy lifestyle for many families. Primarily, when the infant goes swimming, is to ensure that children get the basic skills in contact with water and to make not afraid of water. It is a practice of motor skills, improving the health and significantly contributes to the social aspect – deepening the relationship between the child and the parent and the child and other children. In swimming courses infants and toddlers is the baby in close contact with the parent who attends a course with him. Baby so intensively perceives that can rely on parents. Thus between them they create a very intimate and strong relationship. Swimming provides active movement and teaches children to feel body movement as something indispensable and useful. Bathing and swimming in addition brings joy, increases self-confidence and is an ideal way for active recreation and relaxation. Swimming is beneficial not only for healthy children but also for children with physical or mental disabilities.
The purpose of organized swimming for infants, toddlers and preschool children is primarily to build a positive relationship with the child in the water, so that rejoiced in moving and advocate a healthy respect for this environment.
Our experienced instructors overseeing the safety program ensures appropriate age, physical and mental level of children, help solve individual problems and provide expert advice, so that they stay in the water has become a pleasant experience for both child and parent.
When to start with a swim in the club Bublinka?
In Bublinka we focus on baby swimming practically from birth to preschool. For the very smallest we offer bathtubing. It is appropriate for children approximately 2 weeks after birth (with the water environment the child can start acquaintance ever since, when he healed belly button). Even with bathtubes we offer a variant with salt water.
Swimming with babies and toddlers in the pool in our club we offer from about 5 months of age. In swimming the start depending on musculoskeletal development. It starts in the supine position, this position is the most natural for the child. After mastering the first elevations are moving into position on the belly. Lessons are accompanied by verbal and physical puns, games, rhymes, songs, various water toys and a special swimming aids for children. But it’s not just about playing in the water, but the child also learns by that playing.
Diving and plunging – here many mothers causes a feeling of fear for the child, questions, if it is necessary, whether the child is under water and done so much drinking. Diving and plunging in our club children learn by using so-called “alphabet diving”. It means, that they gradually learn with their parents over several sessions and home “workout” and through pronouncing “signal” followed by overflowing baby in water and then hold their breath. Only after mastering hold their breath, the child can boldly plunge. So there is no reason to worry. :o)
Diving itself is in the eye of an adult observer very attractive, however, should not be the primary goal of “teaching”. Children should definitely not be diving by force – a crying child has nothing to do under the water.
Individually we can also offer lessons for older children, to improve their style, help them avoid mistakes and possibly help them allay fears of the water and of the swimming.
