Next week,they will be taking part in their third charity partnership event with Tommy’s and Peppa Pig, looking to raise money with their babies who are doing sponsored swims dressed as Princesses and Pirates in the pool for ‘Splashathon.’

William Andrews said: “Our Bexhill babies and toddlers, along with all those we teach, are amazing and love their swimming.

“It’s a great opportunity to raise awareness and money for a fantastic cause while having a great time teaching our babies and toddlers to swim and be safe in and around the pool.

“We swim at St. Mary’s school on Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sunday’s and all of our Bexhill classes will be taking part in Princess and Pirate themed swimming lessons.

“That’s over 50 local babies and toddlers supporting an amazing cause.”
