Water Babies

🌟 BOUNCE BOUNCE this'a way! 🌟
Everything in Water Babies has a purpose, and your teacher will always tell you the reason behind each skill we learn and each song we sing. Take Bounce Bounce for example! Right from the get go, this catchy tune helps baby feel comfortable in the water, with fun & familiarity at the start of each lesson!
Not only that, though, by being bounced gently in and out of the water, it helps baby develop an awareness of feeling when they're in the water, and when they're out of the water - a skill that they then use to help adapt after underwater swims!

🍁💦 SPLASH INTO AUTUMN! CLASSES OPEN NOW!
Our Autumn Term is now open to book! Why not start your little ones swimming journey from September - classes for newborn to 4 years.
Babies have a real affinity with water, let's face it - they’ve spent 9 months floating in the womb, however this early confidence can diminish with time. That’s one of the main reasons why we believe in starting babies swimming journeys whilst they're still young! But we never swim a baby against thei...r wishes, and we always incorporate lots of bonding, fun and socialising, so you can be sure that a Water Baby is a happy baby.
Our 10 week term is £155, and includes all of this for FREE!
💦 10 weeks of fun, progressive swimming lessons with our world class instructors. 🐙 A FREE place on our professional underwater photo shoot sitting on Sunday 11th November. 💦 A beautiful keepsake journey book, which comes with stickers to chart completed skills and fill in your babies experience. 🐙 An adorable Bubba the baby whale bath thermometer. 💦 A splashy Water Babies car window blind. 🐙 Water Babies milestone card! 💦 A fab cloth badge at the end of each chapter to mark your little ones achievements, ready to sew onto their swimming towels! 🐙 Access to exclusive swimmer benefits - vouchers for discounts with various local businesses!
For toddlers over 18 months, please contact the office so we can find you a class at a suitable level and age for your little one!

Went to prentons taster session today and me and Noah absolutely loved it. Will defo be recommending to anyone I know with baby's. Will be booking for the full course. Worth every penny ��

We are currently on chapter 2 with water babies and my son who is 8 months absolutely loves it it's lovely seeing him so confident in the water and no tears bath time when we wash his hair ��

Water babies are amazing. I'm so glad I booked chapter 1 for my son he absolutely loves his swimming lessons, we can't wait for chapter 2 :) x

Today was then end of our water babies journey after 3 chapters, myself and Ruby have enjoyed ourselves and would definitely recommend the lessons to anyone! Ruby had gone through a few wobbles but with the support and patience off Nikki in class has helped! Thank you very much and hope to see you in the future �

Started Water Babies a couple of weeks ago with my 5 month old son Oscar after attending the taster session, everyone is so friendly and welcoming! Would definitely recommend and so worth the money �

Sonny started waterbabies at 7 weeks old and he is now on chapter 7. He absolutely loves the water he is so confident and coming on amazing. He is in the pool before me every class there is no stopping him. He's got no fear at all. Couldn't recommend waterbabies enough and everyone that works there are great teachers. Will definitely be completing every chapter � xx

Siôn started Water Babies at DW In Bangor when i he was 6.5months he's totally enjoying the lessons always smiling and shouting all over the class, Nicky the instructor always smiling and always have time to give advice. Can't wait to start chapter 2 and the under water shoot.

My daughter is currently on Chapter 3 with Water Babies, we absolutely love it. My daughter has come on so much and she loves being in the water, our instructor Vicki is fabulous! X

Morgan had a great time at Water Babies taster today! Nicky the instructor was fantastic with her and had her smiling � could not recommend them enough and, if money allows, I'll be signing her up for the February class at the Ellesmere Port venue. LOVE IT!!!

Me and Max are now on Chapter 5 and it’s worth every penny! He loves being in the water and is an expert at swimming through hoops� Have recommended water babies to anyone whose asked and will recommend them every time someone does!x

Loving our sessions with Claire! Can already see how my 5 month old is coming on in the water. Definitely recommend! �

Loved Chapter One with Vicky at Total Fitness Prenton! Developed lots of skills and confidence to apply when I take my little one swimming myself. Thank you Vicky x Excited for Chapter Two!

Logan loves swimming and all it’s benefits make mummy & daddy happy . Claire brings the class alive and we would highly recommend water babies and Claire �

Just had our first class today. My little girl is 12 weeks and loved it. We went to the hydro pool at countess of chester hospital so it's nice and warm for her. Really nice class, instructors are fab and really welcoming. Can't wait for next week's lesson!! X x

Could not recommend water babies enough. Ellis started water babies at just under 6 weeks old and is now coming to the end of chapter 1, he has come on leaps and bounds in and out of the water due to his classes. The instructor Nikki is fantastic and take time to make every parent and child feel at home given it can be a scary experience at first. One week our son Ellis was not well and not enjoying his class. Nikki took time to make sure he is ok and now is coming on leaps and bounds swimming under the water. It's just a shame we have to move out classes from chapter 2 onwards to Saturdays but sure the class will still be fantastic. Would all like to thank the waterbabies staff behind the scenes as well for assisting us moving classes so out son can continue his water babies adventure.

Can not recommend Waterbabies enough to anyone who is thinking of taking their little ones! Freya has learnt so much in such a short space of time already! She now knows “name ready go” is water in her face or an underwater dive and closes her eyes automatically on the word go! I’m so proud of my little water baby ��

Absolutely love waterbabies. My daughter started when she was just a few weeks old and now on chapter 7. She loves the water and adores the classes. Well worth the money. X

Absolutely love waterbabies. Been going since my little girl was 13 weeks old... best activity I've done with her, me and my husband get so much out of it every week and my little girl just loves Claire!

Absolutely love water Babies, little boy started at 8wks and is now on chapter 2. We both love it. The confidence he has in the water amazes me every time, it's a great bonding experience as your so close. You will soon be signing the songs all the time 😂 Would highly recommend.
