My little girl and I loved the swimming lessons! They were fun and practical and suitable for her age group. Anna was a great teacher. It’s a shame we had to stop when she started nursery.

I have been taking my little one since she was 5 months old and we have loved it. Her confidence has really grown and the teachers are able to adapt to baby’s needs/ mood that day. We went on our first holiday and our baby was so happy and confident in the water. Thoroughly recommend

Enjoyed my Saturday lessons in Stevenage with our instructor Anna (Hannah) she’s the best in the team so far. Welcoming and I’m comfortable with babies around her. To the admin of water babies in Hertfordshire branch you’re all the best in the game. You’ve got good listening ears, welcoming and accommodating and good communication skills. No regrets so far since joining water babies. My baby who started in march is enjoying the swimming lessons.

Water Babies is brilliant

Water Babies has been great for me as a FTM and my daughter, sign up was easy, changing classes was easy and they keep you updated on any cancellations, how that affects your bill and any events coming up.

The teachers are all lovely and majority of them are parents as well so they know and understand when your little one is having a hard time it means it's hard for you as well

Signed my son to classes when he was only 3months and it’s by far our favorite class. Babies gain so much confidence in the water and learn life saving skills. Our teacher Anna is incredible, she reminds me of Ms Honey from Matilda, she is soo sweet and very good with the babies.

A Beautiful Escape During a Difficult Time

My 21-month-old grandson is currently undergoing cancer treatment, and whenever he’s well enough to join his friends in the pool, it becomes the highlight of his week. Swimming is the perfect exercise for him — it makes him feel weightless, comfortable, and free to move without pain.

The lessons are fun, thoughtfully designed, and completely age-appropriate. He is fully engaged from start to finish and absolutely loves his time in the water. The joy it brings him is immeasurable.

A heartfelt thank you to the wonderful Water Babies team. Their kindness, professionalism, and truly engaging approach make every session special. We are so grateful for the happiness and confidence they’ve given him during such a challenging time

Great Lessons

We have loved our lessons with WaterBabies - our little one hasn't always been sure about swimming but the teachers have always adapted the lessons and made sure he is comfortable and happy in the pool. The Lonsdale School in Stevenage is a great pool and Georgie is amazing!

Clear and confident

I've found the classes with Water Babies so valuable for my daughter. Our instructor is fantastic with the kids and gives them all such wonderful patience and attention throughout the lessons. Instructions and skill progressions are clear and make even the most nervous parent feel confident about handling their baby in the water. My daughter absolutely loves attending and her face lights up as soon as she realises we're at the pool each week. The songs also help focus her during bath time too - she loves 'Splish Splash' as part of her bedtime routine now.

Happy water babies!

We love our swimming lessons with Water Babies. Both of our children are confident and happy in the water and we think a lot of this is down to the fun they have in the lessons! Ali is a great teacher, she adapts the lessons to suit the children and ensures they get the most out of their time in the pool.

I would really recommend water babies…

I would really recommend water babies as they have been so helpful with knowing where to start when teaching our son how to swim, he is so confident in the water and loves swimming now as a result. The lessons are expensive but I think worth it for the skills that we've picked up and we have the best time in the lessons themselves. The teachers are fantastic and the office team are also amazing and very responsive if help is ever needed, like booking in catch up lessons.
