Excellent teachers. My son loves his lessons. Like that if you miss a lesson you get a token to catch up at any water babies lesson at the same level.

Lessons are done in small groups without arm bands with teacher and parent in pool. Nice warm pool. Need more changing rooms so everyone can have one.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and we are thrilled that your little one loves his lessons. We are proud to offer limited and occasional courtesy passes for missed classes. We recognised that there are many reasons that families have to miss their regular sessions and feel that offering options to attend a courtesy class allows a chance to catch-up on missed learning. We look forward to seeing you back in the pool very soon.

Excellent Swimming Lessons

My daughter had lessons with water babies for 2 years and I would highly recommend them. Every interaction with the South Manchester team has been professional and helpful, from excellent communication to brilliant lessons with Becky. My daughter has so much confidence in the water as a result of lessons and I really enjoyed seeing her enjoying her lessons so much. Would highly recommend as a great starting point for swimming.

The best use of your child benefit…

I was a tad skeptical about the cost of WB being worth it. But honestly, this is the one class we do. He loves it, I love it and it’s worth every penny. We tried other LA classes but the combo of great instruction, the most suitable pools and small classes beats it every time.

I’ve had an amazing experience

I’ve had an amazing experience

Swim Babies has been absolutely amazing for my baby and me. From the very first session, the environment felt calm, supportive, and so well organised. The classes are clearly designed with babies’ confidence and comfort in mind, and it’s been incredible to watch my baby relax, enjoy the water, and build confidence each week.
Jenny is an outstanding teacher. She is so kind, patient, and reassuring, and she truly understands babies and parents alike. She explains everything clearly, never rushes anyone, and always makes sure each baby feels safe and happy. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and that makes such a difference.

The sessions are the highlight of our week, and I can’t recommend Swim Babies — and especially Jenny — highly enough. Thank you for creating such a positive and nurturing experience for our little ones.

A Wonderful Start to Swimming

We’ve had such a lovely experience with Water Babies at the Waterside Hotel in Didsbury. Our instructor Jenny has been absolutely amazing from the very first session — so friendly, patient and reassuring. She explains everything clearly and really takes the time to make both babies and parents feel comfortable in the water.

My baby has grown so much in confidence in the water and loves swimming, which is lovely to see. The sessions are calm, well organised and feel very safe, and it’s been such a special bonding experience for us.

Water Babies Is Great

Olive really struggled with swimming in the early days and we are at the point where she says “ I love swimming Mummy”. Jenny has made our experience so great and we can’t thank her enough for effort she has put in to encourage Olive to love swimming. Thank you so much.

We are glad you enjoyed the warm pool and small group lessons. We appreciate your feedback about the changing areas. We understand the mix of individual changing cubicles and communal changing spaces can become congested at times and we are always looking at how these can be improved further.

Was nervous to start as a first time mum with a 3 month old, but the team answered all the questions I had and then helped me feel comfortable in the lessons by genuinely caring for my baby and making him live the lessons. After the first lesson me and my baby are now excited each week for our next lesson and we've seen so much of an improvement in such a short period of time.

It is a fantastic swimming lesson which reinforces all those water skills. My Little One associates the songs and phrases with different skills and is confident in the water. Our teacher is friendly and knowledgeable and will do what is right for you and your little one.
