We are really loving pur WB experience

We are really loving pur WB experience. We started our son at 8 weeks old and our teacher Charlene has given us so much confidence each week. The lesson is always fun, thorough and on time, and if you need an adaptation it is always considered.
We will be continuing swimming lessons because of this and I am a big advocate for this as an important life skill too.

You're so right; it is a very important life skill that not only makes children safer but also opens possibilities for them later in life, not to mention all the benefits of taking part and the fun to be had on the way. Thank you for leaving a review :-)

Consistency is the key. Isn't it great to see their confidence and skills improve? She'll keep building week on week, and you may get some weeks where she seems to wobble or go backwards. That's totally normal too and part of every child's developmental milestones.
Thank you for your review :-)

It's all about the love. We love what we do, and developing the love for water combined with safety skills is really at the core of our lessons. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

Absolutely brilliant

My daughter started water babies at 9 weeks old and we have both thoroughly enjoyed every single lesson so far. Our teacher, Hannah, creates an incredibly calm environment where I feel absolutely safe and confident in introducing my baby to new swimming skills and experiences. My daughter loves the songs and movement and is perfectly happy to try new things in the water. A lovely weekly activity which is setting her up for a great foundation in swimming and water safety. Couldn't recommend highly enough!

I highly recommend Water Babies

I highly recommend Water Babies! My little boy has been swimming with them since he was 4 months old and he is now 2 years old — and we are definitely not stopping anytime soon! Watching his confidence and love for the water grow has been amazing. As a mum, I couldn’t ask for a more supportive, caring and fun environment. The teachers are wonderful with children and every class is such a lovely experience for both of us. Communication with the office has always been excellent and the whole team is friendly, helpful and professional. We absolutely love it!

Wilfred’s core strength and coordination has vastly improved thanks to his swimming. As well as him really enjoying being with the other babies and the swimming rhymes. Our coach Abi has been amazing at helping us progress, as well as teaching Wilfred water safety and to enjoy the water. I definitely recommend waterbabies to my friends and anyone else with a little one

My child’s been to so many swimming lessons and doesn’t naturally love the water but is really getting on well at water babies, Abi is great with the kids and makes them feel comfortable in the water, he’s progressed more here in the last few months than ever before!

Our programme is designed to be flexible around each child rather than a rigid structure. Thank you so much for sharing how well this has worked for your child. We're really pleased to be helping him learn a life skill.

Recognition for Chelsie at Freeways…

Recognition for Chelsie at Freeways Bristol, who teaches my sons swimming sessions.

He has been attending Water Babies since he was four months old, and during that time we’ve had three different teachers. By far, Chelsie has been the best teacher we have had.

She is incredibly friendly and welcoming, which immediately makes the sessions enjoyable and relaxed. Chelsie always takes the time to help and guide me, whether that’s showing me the correct way to hold my child or gently correcting us if we’re not quite doing something right. She does this with so much patience and positivity.

Her encouragement with him has been amazing to see. She is so good with him and has helped build his confidence in the pool so much. The progress he has made since being in her class has been really noticeable, and it’s clear how skilled and passionate she is as a teacher.

I just wanted to write to acknowledge Chelsie’s amazing teaching skills and to let you know what a positive impact she has had on our experience at Water Babies. She is definitely the best teacher we have had, and we feel very lucky to have her.

Wouldn’t take my children anywhere else

I have been taking my daughter to Water Babies at Church Farm with Jackie for four years now. My daughter is so confident in the water and Jackie has been so adaptive to mine and my daughters needs, supporting us through periods of regression and joining us in celebrating her achievements. I wouldn’t take my children anywhere else.

Reply from Water Babies - Bristol & Bath

Regression and plateaus are a totally normal part of any learning curve, but they can be especially obvious in little ones. Our program has been designed around the way children learn, but ultimately, moving past regressions and plateaus needs dedication and determination from parents. Well done to you for persevering.

We love waterbabies

We love waterbabies! We started when our little one was just 8 weeks old. He absolutely adores water, and has always had fantastic body strength which we are sure must be in part due to swimming. He happily goes underwater, and we have recently been on holiday where we took him in the sea and practiced some of our WB exercises which he absolutely loved. From ‘jumping’ waves, to swim position kicking.
We think swimming is a vital life skill and are so pleased we signed up.
