Lessons are progressive and so much fun for me and my daughter. We have been attending since she was 12 weeks old and have no intentions to stop. The confidence gained in just 14 weeks is incredible.... See more

Lessons were great. The changing facilities are open plan for members of the golf club as well. Floor is really slippery which is not good for toddlers. Only one baby changing room so shower cubicles... See more

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a heartfelt review about Nicole. It’s wonderful to hear how much joy, confidence, and fun she has brought to your lessons each week.

Nicole is a fantastic teacher who always goes the extra mile to create a safe, engaging, and happy environment for the children, and your kind words about her creativity and enthusiasm truly mean a lot.

We completely understand how sad it feels knowing she’ll be leaving soon — she will certainly be missed by families and colleagues alike. We’re so pleased you’ve been able to share such special moments together in the pool.

Thank you again for your lovely feedback, and we hope you enjoy those last few splashes with Nicole! 🌟

Water babies & Beth at pra sands are incredible!

The team at Water babies (Cornwall) are amazing! My little one has been at Pra Sands with Beth since she was 5 months old & soon to be 2. Amelia adores water & even more in the pool with Beth who she has gained such a fantastic bond with. She is soo confident & has come on leaps & bounds, the progress is so visable week on week! she even swims with a noodle on her own for a couple of metres at a time with me supporting if needed obviously, back 2 months ago she hated the noodle & thats all thanks to Beth.
Beth is so kind, gentle, knowledgeable & supportive, she makes lessons enjoyable & so engaging. I cannot thank her enough for the last year & a half.
We cant wait to continue to see our little one grow in confidence even more than she has already so Thank you Beth & water babies for making it possible ❤️ xx

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a wonderful review!

We are absolutely delighted to hear how much Amelia has enjoyed her time at Praa Sands with Beth, and it’s wonderful to know she has developed such a special bond with her. Watching little ones grow in confidence week by week is exactly what we aim for, and hearing that Amelia is now swimming with her noodle after once finding it challenging is such fantastic progress—well done, Amelia!

Beth will be so pleased to read your kind words about her kindness, knowledge, and support. We are incredibly proud of our teachers and the nurturing, engaging environment they create for families.

Thank you for being part of our Water Babies family over the past year and a half. We can’t wait to continue supporting Amelia as she grows in confidence and enjoys many more splashing adventures with us!

Underwater photoshoot opportunity

Today We had so much fun at our underwater photo shoot. As always it’s really well organised but today just felt better everyone as normal so happy friendly filled with such kind words.

The photographer was so kind and caring ensuring we got a perfect shot. She was really interactive and appeared to have great fun with every person there

To top it of Phoebe got to have her photo take with her favourite teacher the lovely Kerri

Just wanted to say thank you as I came out feeling so proud happy and relaxed and so excited to see the photos.

Beth our teacher is so good with all the babies and knows everyone's names and gives each baby individual help and guidance depending on their own abilities. She's super friendly and helpful. The water babies programme is a really positive way to learn to swim.

Progressive and fun

Lessons are progressive and so much fun for me and my daughter. We have been attending since she was 12 weeks old and have no intentions to stop. The confidence gained in just 14 weeks is incredible.
Lessons do tend to run late meaning we start later than expected, and this obviously will happen when dealing with children! but I have noticed that our session is occasionally cut five minutes short which is disappointing considering each session is over £20 for half hour.

Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to leave a review! We’re really glad to hear that you’ve been enjoying the lessons and finding them valuable.

We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the pricing of £19.00 per 30 minute lesson and your feedback on class duration. We strive to ensure every class delivers the best possible experience, and we’re sorry to hear there were instances where the sessions may have ended earlier than expected. That’s definitely something we’ll look into to ensure consistency moving forward.

Your feedback helps us improve, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to continue supporting your learning journey. If you ever have any further suggestions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out directly.

The classes are well organized with similar aged children. The teacher is great with the parents and children and the lesson is interesting, varied and fun. I have noticed that over the weeks, the children in the lesson have improved in confidence and ability. You can see how they love the swimming experience.

A must for coastal babies

My daughter started swimming with Water babies at 3 months. We are both learning new skills and it has made me feel confident to take her swimming alone. Beth is a great teacher and I can see how the songs and activities are translating into water safety and swimming techniques. Living by the coast I wanted my daughter to grow to be a capable water woman and I feel Water babies is the best starting step towards that.
