We absolutely love Waterbabies!
We absolutely love waterbabies. We started coming at 4 months, and he's really shown confidence around water. Plus it's a good place to meet other mums for a bit of socialising :)

The best ❤️
Me, my partner and our little girl absolutely love water babies! We swim every Sunday, my baby loves interacting with the other babies as it’s a good way for her to socialise with other little ones. The instructors are brilliant so kind and reassuring! It’s the best thing we did. We look forward to each session. Also able to do an underwater photo shoot which we cannot wait for! Memories ❤️🫶🏼

Fantastic!
Started swimming lessons with water babies when my daughter was 6 months old.
She has become so confident in the water and loves her lessons, sometimes it's difficult to get her out!

Excellent for water safety but also essential for quality bonding with your baby.
I loved Water Babies when I went through the programme with my now 14 yr old, so always knew I would do the same for my youngest coming up to 4. Water Babies is our favourite time of the week where we get time just for us I work full time but water babies ensures I have good quality bonding time. We have a whole routine we do just for us two but not only that the progress she’s achieved over the years is incredible. She’s already swimming safely the programme has developed immensely but still have the water babies classics that we did with my 14 yr old and we’ve used those together as family on holiday. We love it and will miss it once she completed the programme. I would choose Water Babies over and over again.

Great fun for the little ones!
They provide a good, fun way for your child to grow confident in the water as well as good exercise for them. The instructor is very calm and friendly, and very accommodating with unsure or first time parents. Our little one absolutely loves being in the water now. Overall, highly recommended!
