Brilliant classes in Bolton with Denise

We have been doing these lessons since our little one was 3 months and we love the classes. They are so engaging and fun, you learn loads through play and song and its amazing to see how confident my son is in the water now. The skills he's learned are brilliant and you build on these each week... me and my husband love the classes. We fight over who gets to do them with him! Denise is brilliant!

The best money you could ever spend.

My baby started at 8 weeks and initially struggled a lot in the water. My instructor, Lucy, was patient and understanding and really made me feel comfortable as a very new mum that a baby crying and taking a while to get used to the lessons is totally normal. Water babies is the most well thought out, brilliant programme and I absolutely love it. My little girl doesn’t cry at all now and is brilliant in the water, getting better week on week. Lucy takes the time to check in and make sure everybody is comfortable. She explains everything so well. I would recommend water babies to absolutely anybody. It’s the best thing I have ever done, the best money I have ever spent and the most worthwhile thing to do.

Very warm pool

To be fair, SO FAR SO GOOD! It’s our 4th lesson and my daughter is coming around so quickly. Lesson teacher was suppose to be Rachael but we have been having Lucy and she’s been doing a nice job. Water babies pool at Jubilee centre, crompton way Bolton, Greater Manchester is a very warm pool even with adverse weather conditions the pool and its environs feels so warm👍🏾. My daughter and I look forward to our lessons each Thursday. 😀

Fantastic

We had our first session with Luci today at new bridge school and my little boy loved it. He’s 5 weeks old and did so well. Luci was very informative and made sure all the parents were comfortable with the tasks. She talked us through everything thoroughly and was just so lovely. Looking forward to the rest of the course.

The Best 😍

We have just started water babies swimming lessons we have had 2 lessons so far & we both absolutely love it! It's becoming our favourite time of the week now. The venue is very clean & the pool being heated is a lovely treat! The staff are absolutely fantastic at what they do. Can not wait for my water baby to flourish in her lessons. It truly is a another great way to spend together bonding & creating more memories together.

Highly recommend

We have been bringing our little boy since he was 12 weeks old. His confidence has come on so much! He fell asleep in his first ever lesson he was that relaxed haha and he still has a great sleep after swimming. When on holiday in June at just 16 months old, the other hotel guests couldn't believe how he was jumping in the pool and holding onto the side. We highly recommend Water babies and Lucy the teacher is fantastic. Thank you so much and we can't wait every week to come back.

Welcoming and enjoyable experience

We started swimming lessons with Denise when my little one was 6 weeks old, she absolutely loves it. The class are welcoming and Denise is always explaining what we are doing next. Little one loves the classes and songs and now isn't upset when she goes underwater. Would recommend it especially if you keen to get little one swimming young.

Hi Aimee, thank you for your lovely review. Glad to hear how much your daughter is lovely lessons and growing in confidence. Thank you for recommending us.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I wholeheartedly recommend Water Babies.

My daughter has been attending since she was 6 months old with Denise and she is now nearly 3 years old! Lessons are always fun whilst also helping them to develop important water safety skills. The themed lessons at Halloween and Christmas are always really creative too. I can see my daughter improving week on week and she enjoys sharing what she is doing with us at home. “Bubble, bubble breath”, “swimming hands, dip in the glue… out and in”, to name a few! I wholeheartedly recommend water babies Bolton.

Brilliant swimming classes

We have been with water babies for over a year. We swim at Bolton & North Manchester with Alex as the teacher. My daughter loves the lessons and thoroughly enjoys them. Each class is structured, questions answered and things explained thoroughly. If I need to cancel a lesson and rebook the staff are always a phone call away and always help. Definitely recommend to others.

Bolton Review

Our baby has been attending swim lessons with VJ since he was 16 weeks old. VJ is always happy and enthusiastic with the babies. The songs used during the class are super catchy - we find ourselves singing them all the time!
