Athletics for little ones, from age 3, at St Cyres School Penarth, Monday 5pm.

"At Little Lions Athletics, our vision is to provide fun activity sessions for children, focused on key movement skills and balance, to prepare them for a lifetime of sport and physical activity.  We passionately believe the more positive and the earlier a child’s experiences in sport start the better!
That’s why our fully qualified and friendly coaches recognise the importance of giving your Little Lions the best start to their sporting pathway by enabling them to build strong fundamental skills, through fun games and activities, that they can transfer across all sports.

All of our sessions are fun and are focused on running, jumping and throwing. And don’t be surprised if we ask parents to join in on our sessions too (in fact we strongly encourage this for Little Cubs aged 3-4) as we feel lots of the skills taught should be practiced at home to further develop your child’s agility, balance and coordination."

Learning to swim is a great way to maintain a healthy lifestyle or learn a new life skill. Our swimming lessons make sure that all of our students can swim safely and confidently. We're proud to partner with Swim Wales to teach their Learn To Swim programme. Our swimming lessons start from ages 12 months and up.  

For school-aged children our children's swimming lessons are split into multiple stages. Each stage rewards young swimmers for developing their skills, helping them become confident in the water.
