Dinky Dolphins Description

Welcome to the magical world of baby and toddler swimming!

We recommend that the sooner you can get your little one into the pool the better. When they are young they are very open to new experiences and of course, they have just spent 9 months in the womb so they actually feel quite at home in the water.

All our pools are warm, ideally 32 degrees and above, as babies under 6 months are not able to regulate their own body temperature.

Our main aim at Dinky Dolphins is to enable your child to be incredibly confident and happy in the water, right from the word go. We do this through our specialist programme, designed with clear aims and objectives which will enable you and your baby or toddler to develop and build upon new skills each week. Although the course is very structured, the great thing is that neither you nor your baby or toddler will ever actually feel like you’re in a lesson - we just concentrate on making sure that the two of you are relaxed in the water and having fun. There are significant physical and mental benefits to be gained from taking your baby or toddler swimming from birth. However, perhaps even more important to our mums and dads is the pleasure they get from seeing their little ones so excited and happy, and the social aspect of meeting other like-minded parents.

Clients also tell us that it’s a fantastic bonding time and often increases their confidence just as much as their child’s.

Our classes are very fun and high energy with lots of singing, splashing games and stimulation. We teach all the core principles of swimming and water safety in a very baby friendly way. And teach you how to teach your baby to swim.

Why not give us a call to discuss the timetable add your name to the waiting list!

We love Dinky Dolphins � Albie began his swimming experience three months ago. From day one we have felt like part of a family and our baby loves being in the water. Nothing is ever to much trouble for the team and the way Albie has been introduced to the water is just magic. He gets excited as soon as we walk through the door and he sees the pool. What we have learnt about Albie swimming under water we would have never been educated enough ourselves. So thank you Dinky Dolphins you really are the best �

We have been swimming with Maz and Georgina since our daughter was 10 weeks old, at 3 and a half now she is so confident in water and loves to go each week! We now have our second daughter and can’t wait to get her in the water too! They are so encouraging and supportive, fantastic company!

Sienna started swimming with Dinky Dolphins at 13 weeks old, she was 4lb 13oz bevausw she was 3 months early. Everyone was so fantastic with her with how small she was. She’s now 11 months and loves swimming. The lessons are fab and so enjoyable for the children and the parents. Clare is a fantastic instructor with a fab personality. I could never go elsewhere. It’s even made me more confident in the water as I hate being under water etc. Anyone who wants to take their littler swimming I always recommend here!!!! Xx

Our boys have been swimming with Dinky Dolphins since they were tiny babies! The confidence they have in the water is amazing and a life long skill we were desperately keen for them to learn. They love Georgina and how much fun we have in lessons. They have both met new friends and continue to learn and develop new skills! We look forward to our lessons every week which is down to Georgina and her team. Massive thanks for your continued patience and passion for teaching our little ones to swim � �

My son has been with Dinky Dolphins since he was 4 months, he is now 19 months and has come on so much and learnt so much and he absolutely loves it! My daughter is 4 Months now and has just started and absolutely loved her first lesson! The bit I love the most is seeing how much my son has developed in his swimming since he first started.

My son has been swimming with Dinky Dolphins since he was 9 weeks old and it was the best decision I ever made. The instructors are amazing and what they are teaching my son could one day save his life. To add to that he loves every lesson, is very excited during them and I can't wait for what he still has to learn in his future lessons.

My son Finley has been swimming with georgina at dinky dolphins since he was 4 months old. He absolutely loves it and developed so quickly. So much so I have just started our 8 week old daughter and we can't take him to watch her because he wants to get in the pool too! We have had most of the instructors for a lesson at some point and all are friendly, explain and demonstrate everything putting us at ease. We have met some lovely friends that we look forward to seeing on the weekly basis if not more.

My little boy was 12 weeks when we started our swimming journey with Georgina, a few water wobbles had me questioning wether I was doing the right thing, with a lot of patience & fantastic instructors I now have a confident (wild) 3.5 year old who can swim a length of a pool. With some more development along the way he will be nearly ready for independent swimming next year. I can’t thank the fantastic, patient & most importantly fun instructors we have met along our journey. I’m now doing it all again with my 9 month old. A massive thank you to Georgina, Helen & Will for all you have done, can’t recommend Dinky Dolphins highly enough x

My little boy loves dinky dolphins. He is 18 months and has been swimming since he was 9 weeks old. He is confident in the water, happy going under and we have the confidence that if the worse happens he has great water safety skills. I can’t recommend dinky dolphins highly enough!

My girl has been with Dinky Dolphins since she was a baby and she is 3 now and still loving swimming with them. When we go away on holiday people always comments on how confident and how good she is in the pool. She now tells me to “Stand back Mummy”, “Let go mummy” when in the pool. The teachers are first class and my girl looks forward to every week.

My daughter loves her swimming lessons, we started taking her when she was 10 weeks old and her confidence in the water is amazing. All the instructors are so lovely and help each child individually to suit there needs. We love the songs which make the lessons so much fun and it's a great experience for mummy and daughter time. By far the best decision we made getting her into swimming lessons and so glad we went with dinky dolphins �

My daughter and I have been attending Dinky Dolphins for the last 5 weeks and it's safe to say it has been the highlight of our week! It has been lovely to watch her grow confident in the water and is an excellent bonding experience. The instructors really are an asset; they ensure safety and above all else make this a truly special experience. I can only thank Clare for ensuring Amelia is contented, safe and self assured in the water and helping her mummy to get a rest during the week, as it certainly helps her to use up some energy. I cannot rate Dinky Dolphins highly enough - a truly remarkable and worthwhile experience which we both intend to keep up!!!

My 2.5 year old daughter absolutely loves swimming with dinky dolphins. She has been swimming with them since she was 10 months old and has come on leaps and bounds ( which she literally wants to do each lesson into the pool!). We took her on holiday last summer and received so many comments on how confident she was in the water. Claire and Georgina are brilliant instructors.

My 2 youngest daughters currently aged 4 and 2, have both swam with Dinky Dolphins �and to say they are like little fishes �� is an understatement...! Dinky Dolphins & the ace teachers have given them water confidence in the bucket loads...! It’s amazing to watch the progress of their swimmining ability... I would highly recommend both Dinky Dolphins and the teachers - my kids are amazing swimmers for their age as a result of these lessons!

Jake and I have been swimming with Georgina since he was about 10 weeks old and while it’s always been a fun and happy environment for everyone I was on the verge of giving up as he seemed to be getting more upset each week which was then upsetting me and making me question whether I was doing the right thing for him. All of a sudden, something has completely changed and now he absolutely loves swimming! He’s become the most confident I’ve ever seen him, laughs all the way through and constantly wants to do things ‘again!!’ He is always doing things from lessons in the bath too! It’s now something that I look forward to each week instead of dreading and it’s all thanks to Georgina’s (and Will’s) reassurance and persistence and I can’t thank them enough! X

I’ve been swimming with Dinky Dolphins for just over a year, my daughter is now 16 months old and her swimming progression is amazing! She has so much confidence in the water and while having so much fun in the water she has been taught to perform some life saving skills! I’ve experienced all of the instructors at Dinky Dolphins at they’re all lovely and fantastic at what they do! I would recommend them to anyone!

From 3 weeks old Isla-Faye has been in the water. I was bricking it to begin with, especially having to put her under at such an early age. However 1 year later with the help and guidance from Georgina and Helen we have been given the confidence to take Isla-Faye on holiday, take her in the swimming pool everyday and watch her grow to love the water. Our favourite part of the lesson is definitely 'Jelly'. From smashing her in the face with Peppa Pig and dropping her numerous times during horsey horsey I always know that 'Jelly' will put a smile back on her face. Thanks everyone and an even bigger thanks to 'Jelly' �

Elliott has been swimming with dinky dolphin's since the age of 16 weeks, he is now 21 months!!! Elliott has loved Swimming from the very beginning, until recently when he started with the water wobbles. We thought it was never going to end and we were anxious about how he would be in lessons each week. Going from loving it and having no troubles what so ever, to him crying through the majority of the lesson was so hard and a big learning curve, however thanks to the advice and guidance we received from his swim teacher we persisted and now we can't get him out of the water.........a much nicer problem to have � thanks dinky dolphin's �
