I enjoy the lessons and so does Ernie. They are a good pace, not too slow. We can see how he is getting more comfortable in the water and he is starting to respond to the commands.

"Hi R P, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re so glad to hear you’re enjoying the warm water and that you've had a positive experience with our lessons.
We hear your frustrations regarding class timings and our catch-up policy.
Regarding timings of classes, we appreciate when you have more than one child swimming, swimming them at classes close together or back-to-back is ideal, however due to number of swimmers and the variety of swimming levels this is not always something we can offer.
Availability for catch-up lessons is pending space and availability. We can only offer catch-up lessons when a spot opens in another suitable class for your little one’s age and ability. We do rely on people letting us know they are unable to attend, as this then opens the spaces for a catch-up. We know this can be tricky to coordinate, and we apologise that the current availability hasn't met your needs, however you do have 6 months from missing a class to take the catch -up. If you would like to contact us, we will be happy to check availability for you.
Many thanks from all the Water Babies Leicestershire and Rutland Team x

Confidence in water
Slowly building confidence in water, but most of all cohen looks forward to his lessons due to April’s patience with him. He was extremely nervous when he first joined and is now jumping off the float

My daughter’s teacher Dan is fantastic
My daughter’s teacher Dan is fantastic, his style of teaching, kindness and approach to my daughter has enabled my daughter to really excel in developing her skills and confidence. Our experience at water babies is amazing and it is hugely thanks to Dan :)
Also being able to still swim at a separate time and day to usual weekly lesson due to illness is such a great thing and was easily sorted by ringing the office.
We love water babies and will continue ti attend for as long as we can!

the best swimming classes for anxious parents and unsure babies
i was so worried about starting waterbabies with my little one.. i’d heard from different people about how you need to dunk your baby etc etc.. and i was sooo worried i would be made to dunk my baby straight away.. however this was not the case at all! .. my baby wasn’t a huge fan and did get a bit upset, but her teacher, Hayley, has been so super patient and honestly some of her first lessons, my baby would cry and end up asleep on my chest, just spending time in the pool.. but after 5 weeks of allowing my baby to take the lead and let us know what she has happy with.. she did her first underwater swim 🥰 and now several weeks later, my girl is actually enjoying her time in the pool and is so content with every activity… i can’t thank Hayley enough for not only making it a positive experience for my girl, but also for me too (it’s really not nice having an upset little one, and the reassurance I received meant the world).. so honestly waterbabies has been an amazing experience, and we will be attending for a long time to come yet 🤍
