A New Wave in Baby & Toddler Aquatics
2 days of inspiration, connection & transformation in the water
For swim professionals ready to create safer, more soulful and sensory-aware spaces for families.
Maybe you’ve wondered:
How to take your swim lessons to the next level with more meaning, not just more moves.
How to truly support each child’s unique development and sensory needs, not just follow a method.
How to hold space for parents with confidence, care, and connection.
You’ve likely been to conferences, taken CPDs, and still left with questions.
The truth is: child development is evolving and our industry needs to evolve with it.
Aqua Share is for the pioneers, the practitioners and the professionals who are ready to do things differently.
To connect, to reflect, and to share the way forward, together.

Get ready to make your baby and toddler swim programs more meaningful.

Jo is looking forward to sharing her new material around sensory harmony in water.
This conference promises to be very special. We have kept conference numbers small to create more impact and accessible participation for European aquatic leaders, with equal weight for the water work and the dry presentations.
