Hayley is wonderful

Hayley is wonderful. Our baby lights up as soon as she hears her voice and we have loved seeing our baby develop and her skills improve in the few months she has been swimming. Charlotte has been great organising lessons and changing our day when Mat leave finished. It’s been a fab experience so far and we hope we can carry on for as long as possible

My daughter has learned to love water and being under water which has been a useful skill. I've been taking her since 6 weeks and we used the songs all the time for bath and showers.

Thank you so much for your lovely review 💙

We’re so happy to hear your daughter has grown to love the water and feel confident going underwater, such an important life skill. It’s amazing to hear the songs have become part of bath and shower time too, we love that!

Thank you for being part of our swimming journey since she was just 6 weeks old x

Splash splash

I think Holly is a fantastic teacher - super available for questions, help and makes the class fun!
30min is a good timing for little ones.

Lovely team

Lovely team, we’ve been with water babies since my little one was 18 months and sadly we had to move unplanned recently. We sing the rhymes everyday now, the memories will go a long way until we’re able to afford signing up again. Thank you to the Hull water babies team, really a pleasure working with you x

Amazing lessons

Our little boy is loving his swimming, he is coming on so much with his kicks and splashes. He’s only 10 months old but is doing amazing with every aspect of his lesson especially the under water swimming

Hi Jamie,

Thanks so much for your lovely feedback, we’re so pleased to hear she loves her lessons and is having such a great first experience in the pool!

We completely understand how important weekend classes are, especially for working parents. Unfortunately our weekend pool time fills up very quickly, which does limit availability, but we’re really glad you’ve managed to secure a weekend space with us.

Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review, we really appreciate it!

Danny is a great swimming instructor

Danny is a great swimming instructor. Child progresses well. Communications from office are at times jerky & last minute & incoherent with online water babies account. Sometimes difficult to take seriously as messages come across panicky.

Best Swimming Teacher!

Hayley is by far the best swim teacher for our 6 month old! We started swimming when she was nearly 5 months old, and felt super comfortable from the moment we arrived at the pool. Bella loves her swim lessons and it's a great bonding experience for us too!

Highlight of our week!

We absolutely love our daughter’s baby swimming lessons! From the very first session, Morgan created such a warm, calm, and joyful environment that made her feel completely comfortable in the water. It’s amazing to see how confident she’s become—she now kicks, splashes, and smiles through the entire class!

Morgan is incredibly patient and knowledgeable. She explains every step clearly, always making sure both parents and babies feel safe and supported. The activities are fun and perfectly structured for little ones, helping them build water confidence while still feeling like they’re just playing and having a great time.

Every week, we leave feeling proud of her progress and excited to come back. These lessons have become one of the highlights of our week, and we’re so grateful for the positive experience.

I highly recommend these baby swimming lessons to any parent looking for a nurturing, engaging, and confidence-building start for their little one. Truly fantastic!

We LOVE Water Babies!!!

I have used Water Babies for all three of my children. The lessons are fun and my children look forward to going each week. The teachers really know each of my children and individualise the skills and activities so they are able to reach their potential. I particularly like the fact they focus on water safety. All the teachers have been amazing!

Hannie the Teacher is amazing with my little Grandson, she’s fun & engaging but never pushes him if he’s having an off day, she even keeps me on track so I can follow what is being done.
