Brighton WABC2009 will be an exciting participatory exchange of different ideas - covering babies AND young children and on in to early teaching of strokes - that will greatly boost the ways you teach and administer your program.

WABC2009 is a mix of some 'favorite' presenters from previous conferences as well as 'fresh' presenters with different ideas to help you succeed. 

What in the World are you doing with your teaching & programme?

You will be excited to see and hear about the amazing growth in the UK in aquatic programs for babies and young children.  They are excited to show what they have accomplished and learn what works for you in other parts of the world.
