My daughter started water babies at 3months old. She loves being in the water and seeing her wee friends as well. Louise who teaches her is amazing with us all. 💖

Excellent class
Excellent class. We’ve been attending for about 18months now and love it. Great for building my confidence as well as little ones. Rory’s so confident now and really enjoys his classes. His favourite part is ‘move along to safety’ and is always happy to demonstrate this when in different pools.

Teaching safety in the water
I joined water babies, a new mum, as a complete novice.
The teacher took time to make me feel comfortable, stood close by to ensure I didn’t loose my footing, as I navigated the pool. 7 months down the line, and I am way better than the person I was at the first lesson. My baby also loves the water so much, bath times at home are now very long.
Definitely a personal favorite ❤️

Thanks for leaving us such a great review! We are so pleased you love your teacher and lessons so much! We hope you continue to enjoy them for many years to come!
Instructors are brilliant
Instructor Nikki is brilliant, super attentive and reassuring especially during underwater bits!
All babies are equals so there's not one "ahead" of another, nice small class sizes, and it's amazing to see the little ones take off! Just wish there were classes slightly earlier in the day.
Little things like the next class coming straight into the pool/jumping in when the youngest kids are still coming out of their session is a tad annoying and sometimes it's their adults that do this first which is a terrible sign of manners but nothing directly to do with water babies. Also the pool can sometimes be noisy but understandable considering the rest of the pool is being utilised by hotel guests.

Hi, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a great review! We are so pleased you are enjoying your classes so far and getting so much from them.
We would love to be able to offer classes earlier, but the pool space isn't available due to the hotel peak times.
We hope you continue to enjoy your classes, please feel free to chat to Nikki or the office team if you need anything!

Teacher is amazing. Skills are fantastic.
Downside is 8 is too many in the pool at Harestane. All bumping into each other during the class which isn’t very enjoyable.
