Natural Born Swimmers Water Babies have been running classes across Sheffield for the past eight years. And the good news is that it’s never too early to take your baby to the pool - as long as the water’s warm enough. The multi award-winning Water Babies course teaches using voice commands – learning to respond to these is excellent for your baby’s mental development. Lessons last half an hour and provide a complete physical work out. Swimming is also excellent for enhancing the bond between parent and child. And, with the emphasis on having fun, lessons are a great way of making new friends. The other obvious benefit is water safety. With carefully structured training, babies can be taught life saving skills such as turning onto their backs or swimming to the nearest solid object following a sudden submersion. Water Babies is tremendously proud of the fact that, in the last two years alone, they’ve had five of their tiny clients save themselves from the tragedy of drowning. Water Babies next term will start from 22nd November. We use a number of venues across Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley and Doncaster For more information on the UK’s leading baby swim school look at www.waterbabies.co.uk or call 01924 223844.

What do you think about our new look What’s On?

We have had requests by parents to have our What’s On guide to be even more user friendly and to be organised by areas in Sheffield.

Because Sheffield City Council have split the areas in Sheffield by Community Assemblies we have decided to arrange our What’s On guide

this way (please see map at front of booklet).

We’d love to hear what you think about our What’s On guide whatever your comments...

Email: [email protected]

For more details regarding Community Assemblies please visit www.sheffield.gov.uk/in-your-area/communtiy-assemblies

If you’ve found this What’s On guide useful, we’d love to tell you more about the other things we do here at SIL. We’re constantly developing our service so we can support you even better, and we send out a regular e-newsletter

to keep our customers up to date with what’s going on.

To sign up to the e-newsletter, go to www.sheffinfolink.org.uk and click on the ‘Other SIL Services’ box, then go to the ‘Find out more about SIL’ page. You’ll find a link from there to a short sign up form. Or you can email [email protected] - just tell us your name, email address and that you

want to sign up to the e-newsletter, and we’ll take it from there.
