Fun, bonding and development
I've been bringing my toddler to Water Babies for 2.5 years, and my infant for 6 months. It's been an amazing experience for both of them (and me!), developing confidence in the water, creating a unique bonding time between us, and watching them develop skills that I didn't think toddlers could have, like diving into the water by themselves and swimming with pool noodles. I'd recommend it to any parent.

Waterbabies is my favourite activity I do with my kids! Since they were 4 months old we have religiously gone to waterbabies classes. My 4 and a half year old can now swim unaided which is amazing to see and both my children love water now, and most importantly know how to be safe around water ❤️

Highly recommend water babies!
I cannot recommend water babies, Galway, enough. We have been going since Seamie was 14 weeks and love it. He is now 18months and we are looking forward to going into our 5th term. He has gone through the wobbles with it a few times but Jamie and other instructors were all so supportive and gave great advice on how to navigate through this. Any instructor we have had has always ensured every baby in the class get equal attention, ensuring their safety at all times. For babies off days through teething etc our instructors have always guided parents in how to keep the your baby happy and they never push anyone to do anything they may be u comfortable with. Seamie always gets excited now when we talk about swimming. I think this has also really helped with bath time also as we do different prompts we picked up in class for washing his hair etc. cannot recommend Jamie and his team in the Galway area enough

The waterbabies classes are amazing. It is wonderful to see the babies progress from week to week and how much they learn in such a short period. Lisa is a fantastic teacher, who is so good with the babies and makes the classes fun for everyone.
