Active Movement in Water
You may have read about the Active Movement programme, which is underpinned by research that shows there are fundamental movement skills that are critical for healthy brain development in a child’s early years.
Active Movement in Water is an early childhood initiative that aims to raise awareness of the importance of a holistic approach to early childhood aquatics.
