Jessie is a fantastic teacher and makes our classes super fun. She has really helped them and I think it’s down to her why they enjoy it so much. Thank you!

Patient and calm instructor

At first my baby was not comfortable with the underwater.
The instructor (Emily) tried to keep encouraging him and expressed the need to stop the underwater swim activities for some weeks, so my baby could trust the water and feel safe.
Which actually worked very well and he enjoys every swimming class now.
Thank you Emily and water babies

Water babies review

We love water babies and have been swimming since my boy was 10 weeks old. He’s now 2.5 years and so confident in the water. He loves his sessions with Danni and he’s getting more independent with each session! Thank you Water babies!

Gained so much confidence in 10 weeks

My 7 month old daughter has been going to water babies for 10 weeks and is always extremely happy in the water. Steph her teacher is very reassuring as in the beginning I was worried about submerging Frankie, Steph talked us through and we were fine. Would recommend to everyone to help little ones gain confidence in water and for safety.

Waterbabies lessons are excellent

Lessons with water babies are excellent working on safety skills as well as swimming skills. New things are introduced gradually so we dont feel overwhelmed. Really good value for money!

Fantastic company, amazing teachers, incredible programme!

We joined Water Babies when our little girl was 3 months (she's now 4.5 years old). The office staff, management and teachers are phenomenal. Nothing to too much to ask, they're accommodating and extremely flexible. If you can't make your lesson one week, you can book your own catch up class on your very own parent portal. The teaching doesn't compare to others - the teachers are truly fantastic and my little girl is now swimming independently and has always been shown such fun, engaging, personable and progressive classes. It has always been her all time favourite class of the week which is why we have made it a permanent part of her week. Her teacher goes above and beyond with such energy and charisma whilst ensuring the structure is achieving different aims each week. I can see on our account exactly what my Daughter has achieved and what she is working towards. When we speak to the office, nothing is too much trouble. I am so grateful to Water Babies for providing a life skill but more than that, for such a premium service that we love having as part of our weekly routine.

Amazing

I want to give praise and recommend Water Babies, we joined in February and it was one of the best decisions we've ever made. We watched our boy grow from being scared in the water to absolutely loving it! The lessons are amazing and so much fun 🩵

Great swimming lessons

We love our classes, probably more than our son. We started when he was 6 weeks old and loves the water!! It’s helped him enjoy his baths but his safety and swimming skills are fast developing!! You can see how he already recognises the word association and routine of the swims. Our teacher always explains what and why the babies do certain swims which I think is so important.

My experience is great because of the way emily explains every thing before doing it, also shows example and makes sure you are happy doing that with your little one, if not it’s fine, also very patient with them when all they wanna do is cry lol, my little one enjoys it now, we always look up to Sundays for our class

Amazing experience: Started on mat leave and signed up to continue!

I have swum in three different pools with three different instructors and everyone has been very welcoming. There is a consistent approach throughout water babies so I have been able to attend catch up sessions in different areas and feel part of the group straight away. The people in head office are very helpful and worked hard to ensure I found a group suitable for when I return to work after mat leave. My little one LOVES the water and I see a huge difference in his water confidence over his older brother’s who I wasn’t able to do water babies with. It’s been fascinating how quickly the lessons have evolved to my 9 month old recognising instructions such as “hold on” and happily going under water. The lessons are repetitive which is imperative for a baby learning new skills but that’s great from an adults perspective that you don’t have to feel that things are out of your learning capacity when you’re so sleep deprived! A new skill is added each week so the build up is gradual but we come so far in just 5 months! My baby knows what to expect and gets excited when we reach poolside. I can’t wait to continue my journey upon my return to work.

Worth every penny

Our son has been learning to swim with Water Babies since he was 3 months. He is now 2.5 and loves swimming. Learning to swim is a life-saving skill and we think lessons have been worth every penny.
