Highly recommend …

I’ve been going to water babies since my baby was 2 months old (18 months now) and we both really enjoy it. My baby has grown so much in confidence and knows how to safely get in and out of the water. I highly recommend water babies as it’s a lovely bonding time for you and baby but also gets your baby used to water and learning the beginning skills for swimming

A wonderful experience

Our baby has been attending Water Babies since she was 4 months old (2 months and 1 week corrected age), and she absolutely loves it! The hydropool is amazing, and the instructors are absolutely fantastic and welcoming, making every single session a wonderful experience. She has already learnt so many incredible skills that she takes away with her after every class. Our babies grow up so fast, so don't miss your opportunity to give them this experience. It is a truly fantastic program and we highly recommend it 🥰

We love waterbabies

My daughter has been attending water babies for just over a year now and she has grown in confidence so much. The lessons offer a brilliant way to help babies and toddlers in the water and learn how to swim though play and songs. She has since moved up a stage and I can't believe how well she is doing and that's all down the the teacher Denise. She is very friendly and informative and gives clear instructions plus my daughter loves her.

Each week my daughter is excited to attend her swimming lessons and to see her in the pool is amazing. Id recommend booking swimming lessons with waterbabies it's a fantastic company and they are always there to help via emails and phone calls.

Highly recommend

Arlo has been having lessons with Denise from Water Babies for just over 12 months. Denise is very knowledgeable about water safety and equipping children with the knowledge to be as safe as possible when in the water.

The lessons are structured, fun and engaging. Arlo loves singing to the songs in the lessons and chasing the fish. Each lesson has a variety of activities and ensures children aren’t bored or distracted.

We absolutely love Water Babies

We absolutely love Water Babies! Our daughter has really enjoyed her swimming lessons and it’s been amazing watching her confidence and skills grow each week. The lessons are fun, encouraging and make such a lovely experience for both babies and parents.

We’re so grateful for her instructor, Lucy, for all the patience, support and encouragement she gives. She is so friendly and approachable. Swimming is such an important life skill, and we’re really happy that our daughter is learning it in such a positive and enjoyable environment. 🩷

Not just teaching your baby how to swim

Started swimming with my little boy at 6 weeks and he’s now 6 months old. We absolutely love water babies. The lessons are fun and engaging for parents and babies. What I love most about the lessons is you’re not just teaching your baby how to swim you are teaching them how to be safe in water and vital life saving skills. Our instructor Lucy is amazing. I couldn’t recommend water babies enough.

Water babies forever!

We love our water babies lessons because they feel so personable and fun! Our little boy has been going since he was 4 months old and initially I thought he wouldn’t take much on but to see his confidence grow was absolutely amazing and now at 21 months he is so confident and much more competent than I ever could have expected at this age which is totally reassuring when it comes to being around water at any time. Lucy has always been kind, patient and reliable and is great with my little boy and he loves his lessons. They are fun, but the class group is never too big so it always feels like you’re getting a good amount of time in the pool and doing different skills. We love our lessons and never want them to end!!

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. 😀
