You cannot beat water babies for their instruction, and for the way they interact with the children. They really challenge the children and push them, which produces great results, because the children are so much more capable than we realise. I’m delighted with the classes. Thank ye.

Staff Great: Technology Logistics Need Work
The lessons are great- loved our teacher and actual lesson attendance was a wonderful experience. Office communication is a bit shoddy if you're not "in the know." Found inquiring/ registering for lessons initially clunky.

We're so glad you loved your teacher and the lessons! We appreciate your feedback regarding our office communication and registration process. We are actively working to streamline these areas for a smoother experience , I do need to highlight the new Parent portal is a relatively new feature that we are hoping to get all parents on board with . Regarding registering and inquiries , Id be happy to chat to you further via email at splishsplash@waterbabies.ie to clarify your rebooking with us .
WaterBabies in Cork
Amy attends WaterBabies in Cork. Sge was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy however swimming gave Amy the opportunity to exercise her muscles in a non weight bearing environment. It allowed her a freedom of movement that she didn't have out of the water. The various safety skills, swimming techniques, and play used in Water Babies allowed Amy to stretch and move her body in a fun non clinical setting. Most importantly it helped Amy to build up her core strength. Amy is flying it now 4 yrs on, thanks to the exceptional experience and patience of her teachers.

Too many teacher changes
Too many teacher changes, lack of consistency in lessons.
Some swims with my baby would be shown one way for two/three weeks only to be told we aren’t doing it correctly with another teacher.

We appreciate your feedback regarding teacher changes and lesson consistency. We understand your frustration with differing instructions and are reviewing our training to ensure a consistent experience for all. We also understand our teachers have their own individual teaching style and we hope the recent move we accommodated has improved your experience.

Top class swimming lessons
Water babies was by far the best thing I have done with my son. We started at a young age of 5 months and he absolutely loves the water now at 18 months. He's like a fish. It was also a great physical activity when he was recovering from open heart surgery last year. Our swim instructor Laura was top class!!! I would recommend everyone to bring your baby to water babies!!!

Well-organised and well-resourced swimming and water safety course for babies. Very enjoyable swimming lessons and lots of learning that helped our daughter outside the pool too. The teachers and support staff are so helpful and make the experience as smooth as possible. We are doing our second course with Water Babies now and our daughter is making great progress.
