We've been attending since my baby was 2 months old and Lucy at Bolton & North Manchester is lovely. It's a highlight of my week

Water babies is great, our little boy has been attending for almost a year now and he loves it, he has even started singing the songs at home too. We are just about to start our 3 month old aswell. Alex, Denise and Lucy have all been fantastic teachers to Noah so thank you. I highly recommend water babies, the only downfall is the time of the session is a little awkward but it won’t stop us from attending.

I take my granddaughter every Wednesday at 10.15 am for her swimming lesson at the Ashton village hotel , we throughly enjoy it and our lovely instructor is so welcoming and we feel at home with her teaching us all the disciplines in the water babies series , I would highly recommend taking small children Along to get confident in the water .

My little one loves the sessions and it’s such a lovely bonding experience to do with him as well. It’s amazing to see at such a young age how much confidence he’s gaining in water as well as the skills he’s also gaining. Highly recommend.

My little girl has been attending since she was 6 weeks and is now about to turn 11 months. She absolutely adores her lessons and the teacher Lucy is just fantastic. It’s been nothing short of amazing watching her learn something new each week and see her face light up when she gets in the water! Could not recommend water babies enough!

So far the lessons have been great very relaxed, enjoyable and my little one is loving them. He is progressing each time and the instructor Lucy is great with the kids and the parents!

My little boy has been swimming with Water Babies now since around 2 months old (he’s now 27 months!) Every week it is a joy to watch his progress, see how confident he is within the water, and share this experience with him.
I recommend Water Babies to all of our friends, who always comment on the price of each lesson (is it really worth it?)
And I will always tell them yes! It’s such a valuable life lesson for our little ones, which I cannot put a price on.
Thank you water babies!

Absolutely fabulous lessons with Denise, who is a phenomenal teacher. The pace, engagement and development across the course of lessons has been exceptional. Would highly recommend for your little one.

We have been taking our little boy to Bolton & North Manchester (Millwood, Luci) since he was 4 weeks old and at first we were unsure if it was worth it with him being so young.
He’s now 9 months old and is so confident in the water and absolutely loves it.
We have no regrets starting him so young and we recommend water babies to all our friends!

I love waterbabies and can't fault them at all. Since starting swimming lessons for my daughter when she was just a few months old at another company she was getting nowhere and gaining nothing so I made the move over to water babies after a brief hiatus and I'm so glad that I did.
My little girl has gained so much confidence in the pool it's unbelievable I'm so proud of how far she has come. The lessons they teach are brilliant with different types of skills.
You can also view how far your child has come in the skills and how far they are at reaching the next skill.
Our teacher Rachel at the Bolton/North Manchester branch is brilliant she gives so much such as different types of lessons and going underwater with the children.
Id definitely recommend Water babies 10/10

My son has been going to lessons with Denise at Worsley since he was 3 months old. He loves his swimming lessons and has developed so much confidence in the water. Denise provides a clear explanation of each activity/skill. Would highly recommend to other parents!

Reply from Water Babies - Bolton
Have just attended our first session at Worsley Marriott, really enjoyed the pace of the class for my baby, and Denise explained all of the activities and how they can improve water safety. Looking forward to seeing his confidence grow.

Amazing basically 1-1 teaching
My baby loves it - so interactive and fun and Veejay is amazing with him!
Swimming is one of the highlights of the week for him!

Reply from Water Babies - Bolton
We love the water babies swim class! It’s a lovely way for Baby to learn a vital skill and for parents to bond with Baby as they do. Our class at Birtenshall is such fun and VJ the teacher is fab. The 30 minutes go past so quick and we look forward to it every week!

Great instructor who knows how to make both parents and babies feel comfortable. My son has so much confidence in the water from starting water babies at 8 weeks old. One of the best things I’ve done with my baby he absolutely loves it!

Reply from Water Babies - Bolton
It has been lovely seeing my child attend these lessons, however I feel like there should be more info provided on the lessons, an idea of what to expect from each lesson, what to expect in terms of progress, where and what the child should be attaining / learning from these lessons? It would be good to have some knowledge on what each lesson focuses on and what the child will achieve from each lesson, I believe more clarification is required to get the full benefit of the lessons we pay for.
