Water Babies

First aid and CPR will become part of compulsory health education in all schools in England from 2020!

This is our house every night 😴🤣

🍁💦 Splash into Water Babies this September 💦🍁
Our Autumn Term will soon be open to book! Why not start your little ones swimming journey from September - classes for newborn to 4 years as we have lovely warm hydrotherapy pools and your baby doesn't have to have had their immunisations.
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 w...e believe in starting babies swimming journeys whilst they're still young! But we never swim a baby against their 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 includes all of this (payment plans are available)!
💦 10 weeks of fun, progressive swimming lessons with our world-class instructors.
💦 A #FREE place on our professional underwater photo shoot in November.
💦 A beautiful keepsake journey book, which comes with stickers to chart completed skills and fill in your babies experience.
💦 An adorable Bubba bath thermometer.
💦 A splashy Water Babies car window blind.
💦 A fab cloth badge at the end of each chapter to mark your little one's achievements.

Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall... see how teacher Celeste helps you and your little one build up your water confidence together. How are your Humpty Dumpties going?

Alison is out talking to lots of mummies & daddies-to-be today at the NCT North Liverpool event. Come and say hi if you are popping along!

Where to begin.....Rory has been with water babies since he was three months old and has loved every minute of it....recently we went on holiday and Rory decided to go down a water slide on his own without waiting for mummy. The water was 5ft deep. He landed in the deep water and mummy saw him. He came up for air. Went under and turned around looking for the wall to swim towards. Meanwhile mummy jumped in to get to him. He swam to the surface for air and went back down to find the wall and swim to it. The wall was at least 6-8 feet away from him. This continued whilst mum swam to him. This is a skill he learned at water babies. He did not panick he did what he had been taught. When mum got to him he said I want to go on the other slide now! I was amazed and thought he may have been a little scared but nope he got back on the next slide and into the water. Through the the rest of our holiday Rory enjoyed every minute in the water and waited for mummy and daddy but continued confidently to swim to the side of the pool and either monkey to the steps or climb out and climb in safely as well as practice his diving all thanks to the time he has spent at water babies. I am so glad he has this very important life skill as without it, he may have drowned at the bottom of that water slide. Well done to all the lovely swim teachers he has had whilst at water babies Princes Road School...siobhaon (miss spelt!) and Sam and all of the lovely temporary teachers also x

We started to take Poppy to Waterbabies when she was 10 weeks old.

It's been the best investmade we have made. It's a fun weekly activity that we do together, we have made friends with other parents and children and it's a great way to exercise and life saving skill (that hopefully we won't need)

We had Isabella’s last lesson with Waterbabies today � A big thank you to Gemma and all the amazing teachers both her and Jacob have had. An amazing introduction to the water for them both. Fun, caring and a life skill, can’t get better than that � �

Water babies has been absolutely amazing for us, we’re sadly in our last term of the course having done it from my little girl being 3months old, and we will definitely miss our lessons.



The confidence and skills our daughter has at just 3 years old amazes me! She’s never worn armbands, she loves being in the pool on holiday and to actually have her swimming constantly on holiday and not just paddling away playing shows how much she loves to just swim!



The lessons really are amazing, and so much fun for them! It helps when you have a fantastic teacher (Gemma from Hope School in Wigan) the kids all love her and so do the parents!

The staff are brilliant and will help with anything, the swimming instructors are very friendly and so much fun. It's given my 3 and a half year old a good grounding with her swimming and she's not afraid of the water and is a better swimmer than me! And enjoying it just as much again with my nearly 1 year old �

The best thing I decided to do was enrol my daughter at water babies when she was 13 and a half weeks old. Shes now 2 and a half years old and onto stage 11. She is fearless in the water, so confident and so strong. She amazes us every lesson. Water babies not only teaches techniques that are lifesaving but it also develops their listening skills I.e. following instructions. We love it that much that as soon as our Son was born he too had to follow in his sister's footsteps � xxx

Sad that my sons journey is finishing next month, he has been swimming with waterbabies since he was almost 5 months old. Only consolation is that my daughter is on chapter 5 so I will still be able to enjoy the bonding time in the pool �xx

Myself and partner have been taking our son to water babies since he was 8 weeks old, he is now coming to the end of chapter one and he has loved it. It has brought him on leaps and bounds with his head control. The teachers are amazing

, Julie who is ours at swim in Warrington is patient and is fantastic with the little ones. Would highly recommend to anyone looking at going �

My daughter takes my grandaughter every week

The fun they both have is fantastic x

My daughter loved the classes and is very confident in the water, can't get her out of the pool. My son is currently doing the course and smiles away the whole time, even after an underwater swim. He recognises the songs we sing in class and kicks away with excitement! The teacher is lovely and very patient

Me and my little one Aliyah love our swimming lessons. Highly recommend to anyone thinking about taking their child. We have alot fun at our lessons and love learning new skills x

Love taking our son swimming every Sunday at the new Swim! Pool in Warrington. ��

Love our Waterbabies lessons. All the staff are so helpful and our teacher has been great from day one!

It’s our last ever lesson tomorrow with Water Babies tomorrow! We are very glad that we did it and seen it all the way through. From taking our daughter Neive from a few weeks old she has come so far and Water Babies has taught her how to swim and pool safety by the age of 3. Never would have thought that after the first few weeks of ‘twinkle twinkle little star’ on repeat! Thank you to all her teachers over the time, especially her most recent teach Gemma at Hope School, Wigan. She has been fantastic!

I take my Grandson Jax to water babies at ST Vincent's in West derby it's the best experience ever. He is 7mths now and has so much confidence in the water. When I take him for a public swim people in the pool get the WOW factor from this little baby without any fear of getting ducked under water and also getting released to come up by himself and find a safe place to hold on to. I would recommend anyone to get their baby started with Water Babies.

I take my 6 month old baby girl and she absolutely loves it. It's such a nice way to bond with your baby and teach them safety in the water too!! I wish I did it with my little boy!!

I love water babies because whenever you ring the office, wether they have met you before or not, they know your name and your child’s name and any issues you may be facing at the time. They are really friendly and supportive. Lynn offered my daughter an extra lesson as she wasn’t enjoying her lessons for the first few weeks. Our instructor was jenny before she went on maternity and she always knew my daughters name and what she liked or didn’t like and would provide tailored guidance each lesson. I would definitely recommend water babies to any new parent!!!

I have been taking my granddaughter to water babies since she was 7 months old. She is now 3. She absolutely loves it. We are just about to start chapter 11 with her new teacher. Thank you Alison for making our experience at water babies amazing we will miss you. I have faith in you all and looking forward to meeting Julie.

Can't believe I've never left a review � I'm so glad Owen attends waterbabies! Just watched a class of children having a lesson all in armbands wrestling pool noodles looking confused. Owen went to the side sat down and rolled himself in properly and then practiced his arms and kick kick kicking. People where asking how old he was and saying how confident he is. As if to then prove a point he ducked under looking for a mirror!! Thank you to all his teachers xx

Love this🤣 Is this you? 🧣👘👖👕🧦 #TagYourOtherHalf

Drowning is the 3rd most common cause of accidental death in under 5's in the UK. It's really important that we're teaching our children about water safety from a young age - and what better way than through gently progressive songs, games and fun!

This is so important x

I love this

This is so true, what do you think? We love the honesty of The DADventurer x

Do you run your own baby or child-related business or do you know of a local business that you’d like to tell everyone about? Our biggest number of new swimmers come from word of mouth so we know the importance of recommendations.
We love to support other local businesses so on the last Friday of the month it's your opportunity for you to tag away and tell us what is great about your business. #sharingiscaring #supportinglocal #shoplocal

We've been with water babies over a year now and we love it. My little boy started at 11 weeks and it's the best thing we ever did, he's a very confident, happy water baby! We both love it! We are now on chapter five, we did three chapters with Emma and now on our second chapter with Rosie, both of which are fab teachers and great with little ones! They both take their time, are gentle and really boost our confidence.

We plan to continue through all the chapters x

We really love our classes every week and have had a wonderful experience. Our class teacher, Rosie, is always punctual, getting kids started on time and swimming until the very last second. The class size is small which means we get a lot out of the half an hour, and she does a great job of explaining things but still having fun at the same time. Bottom line, me and my son love Water Babies!

We love our water babies lessons! We started when our daughter was 3 months old and now at 9 months both of us are so confident with her being in the water. Definitely highly recommend : )

We have just started our second term of water babies with Rosie at the Holiday Inn. We started when my daughter was just 4weeks old. Florence loves her swimming lessons with Rosie who is great teacher Water Babies teaches important life skills such as how to enter the water safely and what to do if they were to fall in to water. These skills are learnt fun friendly enviroment using nursery rymes, ducks and balls which also help with hand eye co-ordination. I would fully recomend Water Babies.

We have been swimming with Rosie for over 2 years now and we still love it. Lessons are fun and Samy is so confident in the water. Rosie got us through the wobbles and now it's a struggle to get Samy out of the pool. We look forward to our weekly splashy fun.

We have attended lessons with both our children since they were tiny and love it. They both get so much enjoyment from the water and are so confident. We definitely recommend lessons

Water babies is brilliant, it's a great way to bond with your little one, and they learn so much. We have been going to water babies since my baby was 11 weeks old and I will try and continue to go as long as we can. My little boy loves the water and his confidence grows each time we go! The instructor Rosie is fab too. Xx

Water Babies is truly brilliant! Fun, teaches water safety and great for development. Starting my little girl at just 8 weeks we were amazed at how much and how quickly she learnt! The fun songs are repeated each week to build a sense of routine and comfort for children. By the 7th lesson saying "Emilia ready go" to our little girl meant that she closed her eyes and from that we knew she'd learnt water was coming her way. It's brilliant to know she's learnt so much so quickly. Thank you! We're currently loving chapter 2!!!

Rory and I have been going to water babies on and off since he was 12 weeks old. He absolutely loves it, especially learning how to be as independent in the water as he is on land. Water safety is a key learning point of the classes which gives me great peace of mind - if he were to fall in water I am confident he would be able to spin, grab hold of the edge and get out. Rosie is great with the babies, and the more we go the better Rory is getting at taking direction.

One of the best things you could take your little one to do. The safety aspect aswell as swimming itself is so important and could potentially save a life as there are so many accidents in water. The teachers in Waterbabies are the top in terms of getting the attention of babies/toddlers and getting them to concentrate whilst also making it fun. Worth every penny!

My son started with Water Babies when he was 3 months old. Now at 8 months he closes his eyes on cue before he goes under water and he can hold on to the side. He even drops himself into the water from the side when we sing Humpty Dumpty. He loves our sessions with Rosie (who is just lovely!!) and I love them too!! The sessions are well planned, fun filled and delivered with high competance and lots of enthusiasm. Our swimming lesson is the highlight of our week. Thank you Water Babies and thank you Rosie x x

My little boy started his swimming adventure with Water Babies at just 11 weeks old. It was a little daunting at first, would my baby be too cold, poo in the pool or simply cry at every lesson. The Water Babies team were really reassuring, with tips on how to put a happy on (inside out), checking the nappy was put on correctly and the suggestion of a wetsuit (I was concerned that my baby might get cold). All this on before and during my first lesson.

In the first term there were some lessons when my baby cried. The instructor (Rosie) was always understanding and her guidance was really helpful. Rosie has a brilliant way of managing crying babies whilst continuing to maintain the flow of the lesson.

I did contact other swimming companies before deciding which company to use and found Water Babies to be little bit more professional. I’m so glad we’re completing our swimming journey with Water Babies. My baby is nine months old now and loves swimming. On our fore-coming holiday I can feel confident my little one will love the water and the swimming safety we’ve been taught gives added pace of mind.

My daughter has been swimming with Waterbabies since she was 5months old, she is now nearly three & her water confidence & swimming skills are beyond what I could have imagined for her age. We love our lessons with Amanda & have such fun as well as learning an important life skill!

My 3 year old son and 6 month old daughter both swim with water babies and they absolutely love the lessons and being in the water. The lessons are structured but fun for the children, today my daughter was learning to stretch and reach in the water whilst having great fun with a toy fish. We are lucky to have two wonderful teachers in Catherine and Rosie.

Love WaterBabies, my two year old has been swimming with them since six months old and I am about to have another child which we will be starting their WaterBabies journey with in November! Highly recommend WaterBabies and the teachers and team are super friendly and helpful!

I hugely rate and recommend Water Babies. My daughter, Jenny, started swimming with them at 2 months old and is now about to graduate 4 years later. She has great confidence and love of the water, good safety life skills, and the ability to swim 10meters unaided. Water Babies has been very supportive and professional, and they have also accommodated my changing work patterns - so we’ve gone to three different pools and three different teachers over the 4 years. All the teachers have been absolutely amazing, and Jenny is always really excited to see Nikki each week. We have now completed all the stickers in the water babies book and it’s great for Jenny to have those and the badges to show just how much she has achieved.

I have taken my son Enzo to Waterbabies since he was roughly 12 weeks old. We both love the classes and are so glad to have Rosie as our teacher as she is fab!! I love hearing about all the benefits that swimming gives to my baby, both physically and mentally- not to mention the safety skills we are learning. And best of all is that it's fun too! Would deffo recommend!

I couldn’t be happier with the swimming lessons my daughter is receiving. Her confidence in the water is out of this world since starting Waterbabies back in September. Karen is an amazing teacher, so easy going, but really clear with her instructions. She also sees every child and gives them encouraging feedback throughout the lesson. I can highly recommend Waterbabies and only wish I’d found out about it sooner!

I couldn't be happier to have started water babies with Isla when she was just 8 weeks old. In just one term she is under water swimming and learning skills such as how to hold on at the side and kick in the water. My teacher Rosie is fantastic and works with the babies so well.

Taking Isla on holiday part way through the term made swimming while away so easy.

I would love to take Isla through every single chapter available with water babies.

We love our swimming lessons, I really look forward to them every week. My baby is six months old now and has completed the beginners course, we are now on the intermediate course and she is so relaxed in the water. I would recommend Water Babies to anyone

We highly recommend Water Babies, my daughter absolutely loves it and I massively regret never taking my older son. Thanks to Water Babies Chloe is so happy and confident in the water, something we are often complimented on when swimming in public or on holiday. A big thank you to Tracy @ Lawana for doing such a wonderful job!

We have just started chapter 2 with the wonderful Lynsey at Beacon Hill School on a Friday afternoon. Jacob was only 7 weeks old when we started the lessons and now at 5 months he is so confident in the water and loves going underwater! Lynsey has such a good technique with the babies and makes parents so comfortable in the water with the little ones.

Watch out, we may have a future Olympian on our hands � xxx

We are just about to finish our first term with Vicky at Glenwood. I can't rate her or the lessons highly enough. We get so much out of it every week and Vicky is so helpful and accommodating of my disability so i can enjoy the class even more. We can't wait for term 2 ! Everyone i have dealt with at water babies, via phone or email or phototshoot have been so lovely and so helpful. I wouldn't hesitate ro recommend them.

Was the best thing we did starting our first born when she was 11 weeks old and she will be 3 at the end of May and is going from strength to strength x x

This class’s been the best thing I could have done for me and my baby, she’s not even 2 and she’s swimming like a little mermaid - I’m so proud!!

The best and most rewarding experiences you can imagine as a parent. Katherine at Quilters school in Billericay is an amazing teacher.

Riley has got one more week of chapter one and I feel so much more confident in the water and learning a skill for Riley that is so important can not wait for chapter 2 to start can not speak highly enough of water babies I have enjoyed every week well done water babies for doing a great job

Our session at water babies in High Roding is the most special time we spend together. It's not only about the amazing ability that babies have it's about bonding and trusting each other. It fills u up with love seeing your baby emerging from under the water 100% sure that u are there to greet her and catch her in ur safe arms. Water Babies Classes are one of the best decisions we took.

My daughter loves her swimming lessons and has learnt so much since starting! Teacher and pool are amazing, definitely worth the money. And so glad I decided to bring her to you :-)

My daughter has been going to water babies for over a year now, she loves it. Is so confident in the water and happy, the lessons are fabulous and teachers are amazing. �

My children have both graduated water babies but the skills they learnt there underpin all there swimming. My eldest daughter is now 6 (was with water babies from 6 weeks to age 3) she swims in lessons now with the closest age in her lesson (now stage 5 asa) is aged 11. My youngest also swims freely in her lessons now aged 4. Both learnt from Sarah/Jill and amber. Water babies are responsible for a lot of this and have put the foundations on a key life skill for my kids. So happy we bumped into Jill and Sarah at the baby show 6 1/2 years ago.

My 6 month old son just had his first lesson with Daddy at Glenwood school Thundersley. We all loved it, the teacher Jerome was really hands on and today's structure was a good introduction to the water for the little ones. We were also greeted by another member of staff when we arrived, which was nice.The pool was lovely and warm too. Can't wait for my turn in the pool with my son next week.

I've been taking my son since he was 3 months. He is now 10 months and still loves it! Every week when he sees the pool he gets so excited. It has also helped him to stand quite young and to hold on which has been really helpful. Wonderful teachers!

I can not recommend Water Babies enough. My daughter has been having lesson's since she was 5 months old she is nearly 2 now. She is so confident in the water and has learnt so much, thanks to Water Babies I can relax when my daughter is near water. She can confidently enter and exit the water. We are looking forward to continuing our journey

Honestly cannot recommend water babies enough. They have been absolutely brilliant and my little girl Isabella loves her lessons so much. Water babies have been so helpful and lovely to deal with. Thank you so much ☺️

Had our first lesson today at Glenwood school and i thought it was amazing! Me and Carter-Jae (5 1/2 months) loved it! Can't wait till out next lesson and will defiantly be taking Carter-Jae to all the terms I can. Thank you so much

Best decision I made taking my baby swimming, we have both loved it and it's been a wonderful bonding experience, lots of fun. Highly recommend!

This used to be my favourite class with each of my three babies. One has now 'graduated' but, of the other two, they cancelled the baby's class after the first term (so we are now having to repeat it 15 miles away - £165 wasted) and have just refused to allow my son to join a competitor's swim school after they cancelled his lesson unilaterally halfway through the term. Beyond annoying, especially after I arranged all the childcare and other activities around their lessons AND as it's their action that's put us in this position.

Its coming to that time again when some of our little swimmers have turned into swimming superstars and say goodbye to us as they continue with their swimming journey. Gutted that they are leaving and moving on but elated that we have played a part in turning them into safe,confident, swimmers and when you get a message like this from Denise who swims Ellis at Roundhill on Tuesdays it really makes you realise just what a fabulous job we have ❤️❤️ #lifeskill #toddlerswimming #waterbabies Water Babies

Water Babies is 16 years old! We love seeing how all of our little ones from across the years are doing now. Here's Finlay, the familiar Face of Water Babies, all grown up and showing us his swimming skills! How are your swimming graduates coming along?

We've been coming to Water Babies since Eleanor was nearly 5 months old and now at 11 months she can can hold onto the poolside keeping herself above water.



I would recommend Water Babies to anyone! They do everything at your little ones pace and don't rush them into anything they are uncomfortable with. Teaching young children to swim is amazing and so beneficial and a awesome bonding experience! � Oh also the songs are just so catchy I find myself singing them wherever I am even my partner does! �



If I could give 6* I would.

We started waterbabies when my LB was 11 weeks, now at 17 months he is coming on leaps and bounds and loves water, so much so we can't get him out the bath without tears.

You and your baby get taught safety in and around water from day one, which is fantastic.

Charlie is also an amazing instructor, when my lb was really struggling with underwater swims, she took the time to watch him underwater to find out what was going on.

If anyone is considering doing waterbabies with there baby's do, it's not only a fantastic way to bond with your baby but with the fantastic teachers and teaching you baby with start learning at life long skill from an early age.



Anyone who is expecting a baby or have little ones now, I would highly recommend water babies!

We love Waterbabies. Hayley is awesome. Thank you so much for making my little girl and I feel so welcome. She's nearly 7 months and is so confident in the water. This group comes highly recommended

We finished chapter 3 today, after being instructed by Hayley Sutherland for 9 months :) We will miss our dearest instructor, as a different day will be suitable to our schedule. Many thanks to Hayley for transforming our daughter to a little mermaid!!! We are certain that chapter 4 will be as creative as it has been so far :)

We absolutely love water babies! Our babies have been swimming since they were tiny and have loved it! We have learnt so many important skills and both children are super confident in water as a result! Can't recommend Charlie, Chris, Christina and the rest of the team enough!!! ���

Such a lovely, lovely group of people to swim with. Chris, Charlie, Fiona and Christina have all been really supportive with our boys when they have gone through the water wobbles, been poorly or have struggled with anything. They were fantastic when we missed some lessons when our youngest had been in hospital, he soon caught up though and it was like he'd never been away. Chris has really helped Arlo come through his little stubborn phase over the last couple of weeks too and we appreciate all the help we've had over the last three and a half years we've swam with them!

Really impressed with Water Babies Leicester. We've found them to be so helpful and friendly in all our communications with them and the level of organisation involved in the lessons is really reassuring. Our little one is only 8 weeks old but he loved his first lesson. Would definitely recommend as a lovely activity to do with your little one and a great way of helping them gain coincidence in the water.

Myself and my daughter absolutely love waterbabies... Isla's confidence in water is amazing since starting and she learns something new every week... Christina at Beacon Academy is brilliant and made swimming so much fun... Thank you.

My little girl and I love water babies. The classes are well structured, the staff are great with the babies and it's great fun. Just started chapter 2, it's amazing to see how quickly your baby develops their skills.

My daughter Piper LOVES water babies & it really is a fun way of teaching babies about safety in the water & giving them the vital skills in learning to swim. Chris is an excellent teacher, we would highly recommend

Loving every minute of our lessons. The staff are very friendly and make everything so much fun. Would definitely recommend it to everyone. Learning life skills. Well worth the money!!

Loved our first lesson with my second water baby this morning! Both of my little ones love the water and have so much confidence! The whole team are friendly, professional and always so helpful. Can't fault them!

I was nervous when I went to the taster session as I hadn't been swimming for ages (and wasn't that great!) the half hour flew by with fun packed games, songs and an underwater swim demo by instructor to everyone's surprise! We are now on advanced and our boy loves splashing around he's now 17 months and way more confident in the water than me!

Instructors are fab, friendly and professional and the half hours still fly by!

Fantastic tutors. So much enthusiasm is put into the lessons. It's great that Chris and the team focus on pool safety at such a young age! We can see our little man learning as the Chapters progress.

Fantastic teachers, giving babies and toddlers water confidence and potentially life saving skills. Definitely one of the best things we have spent money on is giving our daughter swimming lessons with this super company.

Charlie is fabulous with my daughter, she’s a great instructor and is very calming - just what you need when you’ve got a small baby in a pool! These classes are definitely well worth the money - swimming is such an important life skill and I’m so happy we picked Waterbabies!

Awesome teachers and classes my boy has just finished his first chapter and he's made so much progress. Learning to swim and learning important live skills when it comes to water. Top classes!

Amazing classes. I was absolutely petrified taking my little girl to her first class at around 16 weeks old and taking her underwater but Chris was fab at easing my concerns and helped me through my jitters. Aged 3 we've had a couple of terms which haven't been easy but we preserved and I'm so glad we did. My little girl at 3 1/2 can now swim across the width of a pool on her back unaided, snorkel! and cannot wait to get into the pool or sea on holiday. She's a true water baby because of these wonderful classes. I have no hesitation in recommending joining Water Babies XX

Absolutely loving the classes with my little boy, only had our second one today but look forward to coming now each week and seeing what new skills were going to learn each session!

My child versus me when it's bedtime😅 😆

We are so proud of what we do and we love it when you recommend us to your friends! So starting this week when you recommend us to your friends and family and they book on Water Babies will give you a £10 Water Babies voucher to redeem against your classes or to purchase products...whatever you want!

Our 10-week term also 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. 💦 A beautiful keepsake journey book, which comes with stickers to chart completed skills and fill in your babies experience and a cloth badge at the end of each term! 🐙 An adorable Bubba the baby whale bath thermometer. 💦 A splashy Water Babies car window blind. 🐙 Access to exclusive swimmer benefits - vouchers for discounts with various local businesses!

Would absolutely recommend Waterbabies. Both my boys have done it until they were too old and they loved it. Eldest (6 years old) is a confident swimmer and the little one (3) can easily swim at least 10 m. Loved Clair as our teacher too. She's the best!! ��

Where to start, this program is simply amazing. My son started aged 6 months old and I was pretty sceptical (I was a non swimmer). Over the course of the program I've watched my son develop, not only into a confident little swimmer....with absolutely no fear around water, but he also developed a sense of achievement, fantastic social skills and made a whole host of friends along the way.



The whole water babies program is well structured, well executed, but most of all fun....the kids won't even know they are learning



Now....onto MICHELLE....you were never just an instructor....you were more like a friend. I could never thank you enough....for the confidence you've given my son....you were amazing....and will be a miss!!! Seeing Isaac brimming with confidence has given me the confidence to learn to swim too....so thank you



Dawn, Kris and Isaac x

We’ve gone to Water babies since my little Girls was three months old.

She absolutely loves it, the enjoyment on her face melts my heart each week!

It’s given her so much water confidence and myself and husband peace of mind in the water.

Our teacher is really friendly & down to earth, we aim to keep going until the end!!

This is a brilliant class and I would highly recommend to anyone with a little one! So worth while watching your little one grow and learn new things each week and most importantly how to stay safe in the water from a very young age! ��

My son started when he was 3 months old, he is now 4 years old & has completed his full water babies journey. I can not recommend these classes highly enough from how quickly he learned water safety skills as a baby to the confident swimmer he is today. The quality of teaching is second to none, my son can swim a pool width independently, he loves going under water & has a love of swimming generally. When we are in community pools or on holiday he always receives compliments how good a swimmer he is.



My son was 6 weeks premature & the health visitor often commented how strong he was & how fast he caught up. I am in no doubt going to water babies helped him.



The instructors are trained to a very high standard and use a range of techniques to help babies learn. Even when my son was being difficult the instructor helped me & him through it.





The photo shoots make a lovely unique keepsake, he has just had a double photo shoot with his sister who has just started her water babies journey.



Water babies has been a hugely important part of my son’s life & he will continue his love of swimming because of this early teaching.

Love water babies! It's a great bonding experience with your baby & my little girl Evie enjoyed the lessons so much! She's super confident in the water & has learned so much from them, the lessons are very professional in a lovely relaxed environment. We've loved every minute of our water babies journey! Definitely recommend

Isla absolutely loves her class, I didn't know what to expect at first and was quite nervous especially going under! But she has grown in so much confidence in the water even in the small time she's been going. We definitely feel more confident at our local pools and on holiday :)

I really enjoyed the 2 terms I did with my little girl. We started when she was 6 weeks old and whilst there were days she just wasn’t in the mood (tears, sleeping or more tears) the instructor was always so accommodating and understanding. It’s built my confidence of what to do when in the water and it was so rewarding watching my daughter grow in confidence and enjoy her time splashing around with her friends. I have also made friends with the mams from the group which made the experience even more enjoyable. I can’t recommend Water babies enough, we only stopped as I returned back to work.

I love Water babies, Michelle is a great instructor and has really helped my little boy grow in confidence. He now runs to every lesson. Thank you so much.

I have been attending Water Babies with my son since he was about ten weeks. He's now nearly two and has grown in confidence, despite a period of water wobbles, and clearly enjoys the sessions each week. Our instructor Claire is lovely, very professional and she has a great sense of humour with parents and little ones and I feel this contributes to the relaxed, fun atmosphere at our sessions. I enjoy them as much as my son! I definitely recommend these classes!

Harry and I are in to our 4th term, he's 11 month and absolutely loves it! Plus I'm amazed at his water confidence and skills. Our teacher Lynette is fantastic too.

Both my children did Water Babies and I can not recommend them enough. The lessons are well thought out and the teaching is outstanding. We have had Sally who is truly amazing. It is a fantastic opportunity to bond with your baby. I'm so pleased that we completed the course. Although the lessons are expensive, you get what you pay for, and it is worth every penny. My children are now confident in the water thanks to the course. Simply fabulous!!

Amazing for babies , would recommend to anyone with a little one , if wanting them to get used to being confident in water xxx

After now being with water babies for 3 years for evie and now on to 4th term with Theo all I can say is the service over the last 3 years have been amazing ! The ladies in the office have accommodated our needs so well , fitting us in to classes after a break due to medical reasons when I was pregnant, getting us more or less back to back lessons for both children . Yes we have had pool closures and cancelled lessons but this generally has been out of water babies control ! I know that the pool ended up being closed after Evie was sick in the pool at Marriott , which for a parent is not a nice feeling - but any of our babies could be that one ! Iv had Lynne, sally, clair , michelle (both ) , Kendal and boss Claire at some point be in the pool and they all are different and but they all have the goal to teach our children the safest way to swim / build confidence in the water �. Expensive yes but worth every penny. Well done water babies you are truly amazing

After joining at 9 weeks old, and swimming with Clare for 3 and a half years, the time has come for my water baby to start "big boy" swimming lessons. We've enjoyed every second, and are leaving with a little boy extremely confident in the water that can even swim a little bit on his own. I cannot recommend water babies highly enough!

Absolutely brilliant program and classes. You can’t put a price on your child’s safety, this is a life skill. Outstanding teachers!



Our daughter started at 8 weeks and 4 years later of Friday night swimming, with our teacher Michelle, we have come to the end of our journey.



It fit perfectly around work so I could continue the class with my little girl once I returned to work. Our daughter is now a confident swimmer and we feel at ease every time she is near water. She has loved her time swimming with you. Wish there was an extension for older kids.



Thank you for everything, we are going to miss our teacher, swimming friends and our classes. xxx

Fabulous

Evie was 16 days old when she started

Now at 5.5months old she's fearless in the water

She smiles and giggles during lessons

If only she'd learn not to drink the pool!!!

I started taking my son when he was approx 6 weeks old and he'll be 17 months when we stop at the end of this term. At first, it was quite enjoyable - singing songs and activities in the water that attempt to teach them water safety. However, for months now, my son has been going through what they call 'wobbles', which is when they revolt against what you're trying to do. You get no additional support when this happens and you're basically told to miss out a bunch of activities until they grow out of it, which could be months, and you're left with a screaming, clawing baby while you watch the others'. My son, after all this time, still can't do the most basic of safety activities and we get no tips on how to change this. That's not to say the teachers aren't really friendly because they are. But there are improvements that could be made to make sure all babies are learning and not just the good ones. For £15 per half hour, they could at least try.



Then you have a rather unhelpful admin team who have the cheek to send renewal reminders after weeks of cancelled classes and let downs and refuse to refund you when your children have things like chickenpox unless you pay for a doctors note (which cost more than the price of a class).



Overall, water babies are fine when everything goes swimmingly (see what I did there) but are very clearly just after your money because when anything doesn't work out, it's tough. I probably wouldn't recommend unless you have a very easy baby and more money than you need.

Stay clear of this class!!!! So far I have had 3 classes out of 4 cancelled. In most cases I have been notified a few hours before the class. The first time was due to personal reasons the 2nd the pools pump then the 3rd time chlorine levels. Rubbish text messages sent out just stating refunds will be processed. I'm sure when this class was designed there was 9 classes within the course. Each class would have a vital benefit for the progression of my sons swimming. I'm sure 2 classes being cancelled would cause my sone not to have the full benefit of this course. This isn't the way water babies see it. Basically all they want is your £15 for a half hour course. If the main interest was to education children replacement classes would alway be put on to complete the course. Now as I want to cancel the course I have to be charged £50. Absolutely disgusting. I've never know a company so unprofessional. Never would I recommend these. It will be a lot cheap and more beneficial for your child to go to a local pool for there class.

We are currently experiencing problems with our phone line...We are currently experiencing problems with our phone line...

Water Babies is 16 years old! We've swum a long way since 2002, just like our original Water Baby, Jai Thompson (watch him go!). How are your not-so-little little ones doing now?

What a transformation, we can't thank Fiona enough for the confidence that our daughter now has in the water. We were late in introducing Amelia to water and by 9 months she did not enjoy any form of water activity. Now, she loves swimming, jumping off the side and diving for objects. I only wish we had started sooner. Thank you ;-)

We swim at fitness for less, with Evelyn starting at 7 weeks. She was a bit shaky to begin with, but Em was very patient and accommodating, and now Evelyn’s really enjoying it- it’s good bonding time for her and my husband also. We weren’t going to do chapter 2 but she’s enjoying it so much we’re working our way to that graduation t shirt!



My only little niggle is that communication could be a bit better- we had a lesson cancelled and didn’t receive the text till a week later saying the lesson had been cancelled. But no apology �. (But we did get an extra lesson tagged on at the end so no money lost!)

We recently moved to this area after living in Birmingham and swapped over to a local waterbabies instructor, she was amazing and so patient with Oliver catching up on the few lessons he's missed, amazing facilities too.

We love waterbabies, my son has attended since he was seven months old and last week he just swam the width of the pool (cannock hospital) for the first time and I'm over the moon! He'll be four in two months. I think that's a fantastic achievement and a testament to all of Fiona's hard work with us.

Can somebody tell me how wide the pool is please so I can brag about it? ;0)

Thank you Fiona. :0)

We live in Dubai and are back for the summer. Water Babies were very accommodating in letting us join one of their 6 weeks courses for my 2.5 year old, we were only able to attend 4 session, Fiona the instructor was amazing and I can highly recommend her/Water Babies. Thank you very much!

We have really enjoyed our chapter 1 course and can't wait for the next chapter to start. Couldn't have asked for more co operation and understanding with our daughter and her ongoing situation.

Despite an unavoidable situation with our instructor breaking her wrist, Waterbabies kept us well informed when they had to cancel a lesson and arranged for fill in instructors so that we could finish our chapter.

I love that Olivia is having fun and learning water safety at the same time. Definitwly worth the money and journey to Plas Talgarth and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Water Babies to anyone.

Hopefully we will be seeing you very soon to start chapter 2 :)

Took my daughter to a lesson today for the first time!!! It was so enjoyable and she loved it, Mary is a great teacher, worth every penny!!! Thank you

My son has had his first lesson today. All I can say is money well spent he loved it and didn't want to get out of the pool

My little boy has just finished water babies after going for nearly 18 months! He has amazed me with how well he can swim and I can't thank Fi enough for believing in him and working so hard! She is an amazing instructor and we will really miss her! Xx

My daughter was a late starter to waterbabies, she was 2 and half. But attending for 6 months so far and it's a fantastic time for her to bond with her Dad and her confidence has soared. We have gone from a child who hated having her hair washed or face getting splashed to a child who will happily put her face in the water. No more drama at Bath times!!! It's helping her develope both her social and physical skills.

I've taken both my children over the years and after a break have returned with my youngest daughter. We had been swimming at the weekends just on our own at the local pool and we had reached a standstill where my daughter wasn't really improving. 3 weeks into term and my daughter's swimming has improved so much. Being part of a class situation made swimming more exciting for my daughter and she is so much more confident in the water. My daughter spent her last bath monkey monkey monkeying her doll around the bath edge and telling her baby to hold on. It's definitely going in. We are very happy to be back. Thanks

I've been taking my son to Waterbabies since he was 3 months old & now he is nearly 2yrs! He absolutely adores it & looks forward to going each week.

I also look forward to our classes as its such a magical way to spend invaluable one-on-one time with him having fun as he learns.

We've had 2 wonderful teachers, Petra & now Emma & they really add to this wonderful experience.

We look forward to continuing for a long time yet & would recommend Waterbabies to any new parent as a fantastic way to have fun with your baby, whilst teaching them an invaluable life skill.

I started taking my son to Waterbabies from age 14 weeks and he absolutely loves it! He has come on so much other his confidence in water and we are only 3 weeks in to chapter 1. Waterbabies is definitely worth the money and would recommend to all parents x

Having spent nearly two years doing water babies. I can say it well worth the money. We've just done our first family holiday aboard and Alex (2) has loved the water. He has demonstrated skills which I didn't think he remembered. He would jump in, grab the side, climb out. Even when he went under water by the side of the pool his little hand immediately came up and grabbed the side. He even was chanting monkey monkey monkey. So proud. Many thanks to Fi our swim teacher.

Harleigh absolutely loves it at Water Babies , The classes have really Taught her to have confidence in the water already at the Age of two , and learn basic Self preservation skills . I would say it's a class that is a must for any baby or toddler to introduce them to a very important life skill .

My son absolutely loves Water Babies and his teacher. He's always growing in confidence and skills acquired and a smile is never far away! The reason for the 4 stars rather than 5 is that we've had a few weeks recently where we couldn't swim due to various issues, which is obviously a disappointment but even with this we wouldn't choose to stop WB as the enjoyment and benefits outweigh these.

The actual lessons and instructor are really good (hence a two star review and not a one) but everything else is poor. I totally echo Carly Mence's review.



Lessons have been cancelled so many times and the term pushed back so far that it interfered with other things we had planned. The term was already long with three planned holidays. The fourth cancellation was today, which was to be our last lesson, but they can't push this lesson back any further as the next term starts next week.



We couldn't do the underwater shoot because we hadn't had enough lessons, but they didn't try and rectify this (by adding optional free extra lessons in) until it was too late. Who has time to do Saturday and Sunday two weekends in a row with only three days notice?



Communication in the office is poor, I specifically emailed to say I didn't want to carry on with chapter 2, as they automatically book you onto the next chapter and charge your card unless you tell them. I still received a phone call to tell me that the chapter 2 lesson time was going to change (they were unaware I had cancelled even though I received an email acknowledgement). If they hadn't changed the lesson time and called to tell me, they would have charged my card without my permission.



The facilities at Cannock pool aren't good enough when you're paying the premium price that Water Babies ask. We attended a middle lesson - there was never enough space to change and not enough boxes for our stuff. The showers are right by the pool and so parents and babies from the previous lesson were right there when ours were taking place. As the babies had just come out of the pool, they were, of course, crying, but this was distracting for us as we couldn't always hear the instructor.



No doubt they will say that this term has taken place under exceptional circumstances but there's only so much a customer can handle before getting annoyed with the service they're receiving. I wasn't going to leave a review, but I do think they now need to take on board the feedback they've received and try to improve. For us though, if we do carry on with Water Babies, it won't be with this branch.

Yet another disappointment courtesy of water babies! Started 12th Feb, had one lesson so far!

Firstly, venue got changed to somewhere 15mins away less than a week before we started (pool temperature apparently, more like they didn't fill the classes!)

My welcome pack I was promised back in January turned up after the first class (great to know information about the venue and class AFTER you've attended).

Then first class was 15 mins late which no one managed expectations about so our little ones are waiting around in just their trunks. There was no one there to welcome you etc and the area to change in was chaos.

Following week got cancelled the day before, then we had two weeks off for half term then today got a text after getting my son up from his nap to feed and get him ready, to say all cancelled!

The staff are incompetent. I've had so many emails or texts either with wrong information on or with poor language which make them confusing.

Please don't waste your time, money (classes are so expensive but naively I thought I was paying for professionalism and excellence) or effort.

I'll be requesting a full refund on Monday (if anyone actually answers the phone!)

The hlc was double booked.. on our first class with my first child.. so we had to use the public pool. I wasn't able to listen in too the class. My husband struggled to change my son, I couldn't take any pictures.

We were not informed or notified,or given the option to miss that week,with no charge . Water babies staff had no explanation, and said they would look into it. I rang and spoke to Heidi.. who just kept saying this hasn't happened before..and no there is nothing they can do.. yet booking are done weeks in advance. She didn't care about what I was unhappy about

I totally missed out on my first experience with my first born.

Classes are too cramped and we struggle some weeks trying to swim with out babies. The main focus in the first chaper is going under water to get ready for an expensive photo shoot.

Mary the teacher is amazing with the babies.. shame she works fot them.. the company only think about ££££

We loved our first water babies session , thankyou!

We love Waterbabies. Our little boy started when he was just 9 weeks old he is now 3. He's really confident in the water and can swim short distances. His teacher Kate is fantastic. We are really looking forward to starting his little brother at Waterbabies in the new year.

Waterbabies is fantastic our teacher Kate is fantastic at reassuring JJ whenever we have had confidence dips and she ensures that we have always been included which has allowed his confidence to flourish. I always feel that she is supportive and encouraging each week :-)

Water Babies is amazing! My eldest daughter started at 6 weeks, my youngest around 8 weeks and my now 2.5-year-old actually swam on her own at the weekend! It's great for their confidence, fitness and best of all they love it!

The team at Water Babies are all fantastic and it definitely rates as a favourite class!

These lessons are a great way to introduce your little ones to the water! Kate makes it fun and there is no pressure on your little one! Highly recommend?

Started swimming with my baby when she was twelve weeks. Been a great bonding experience and she's a right little mover now, I was asked by another instructor yesterday where my daughter is being taught because it's not normal to be so confident that age . Thanks Kate and the team awesome job!

So glad we decided to do Water Babies. Was a bit apprehensive as we did not know anyone that took their baby swimming so had a lot of people think we are crazy. My little one has been going since the age of 4 months and absolutely loves it. Seen a massive difference in my little one, all thanks to the amazing instructor Kate who is patient, friendly and very skilled. Overall all staff we have come across are so lovely and friendly. They are very accommodating and the whole service is very smooth. Not only is my little girl becoming a little swimmer but it is also helping my confidence in the water! Highly recommend Water Babies!

Myself and Betsy adore waterbabies! We've been swimming with them since she was ten weeks old, and now she's almost two. The highlight of our week. Friendly and accommodating staff, wonderful teachers and lovely swimming pools. Kate, our teacher is the best thanks for all you do!

My little boy absolutely loves water babies has even been called "a natural" by one of the teachers as soon as he gets in to the pool you can see his excitement constantly splashing and smiling, would 100% recommend to anyone

My daughter is a few weeks into waterbabies and so far is absolutely loving is, I would highly recommend waterbabies to anyone. Me and my husband already have great confidence in swimming with our nearly 6 month old thanks to u and due to certain skills used in waterbabies we feel she has confidence in the water, I'm hoping this continues in the future. �

Love my little boys Water Babies swimming classes with Belinda it amazes me how confident he is in the water already and he's not even 2 yet. I can't recommend them enough.

We now have Kate as our instructor, she is fantastic. Both my children are Water Babies and on our recent holiday it showed. Can't thank Water Babies enough for their amazing work

Little one has been swimming with water babies for 3 years. The lessons are great fun and we look forward to them every week. Little one is becoming more and more confident in the water and gets great encouragement to try new things each lesson.

I'm so glad I was advised about these classes! My little one had his first taster session this morning and he will be continuing! It was lovely to interact with him in a different way, Kate is a fantastic teacher and made me feel very comfortable! Thank you!x

I think this is the best thing we have spent money on for Rowan. His water confidence is truly amazing and the enjoyment he gets is a pleasure to see. I would recommend this too everyone.

I have been taking my daughter since she was 3 mths old - and its the BEST decision we ever made. she has learned so much - she has built up her confidence - and remembers the commands given to her, in her swimming lessons- she has just amazed me and my husband! and today she had her underwater photoshoot - she was just a diamond - she giggled and laughed soo much! we look forward to seeing her grow even more confident in the water. thanks Kate x

I cannot recommend Water Babies enough. From having a one year old who didn't like putting her face in the water to now having a 3 year old who can swim 10 metres on her own is really a testament to the support and skill of the Water Babies programme. Every baby should be a Water Babies swimmer!

Anthony and I love water babies, it is a great way to build confidence in the water as well as teaching them both how to swim and survive in the event of an accident.

Amazing class for our baby. She's grown in confidence and she's got such strong legs too! I think it has aided her walking (whilst holding onto furniture) at 7 months. It's wonderful to watch all the babies learn and progress and the atmosphere that Kate creates in the lessons is wonderful. The time just flies by and we look forward to every week :) couldn't recommend it more �

I don't normally leave reviews and I am sure that the class is brilliant for younger babies however I called and asked if the classes would be any good for my son who was 16 months at time, I was told that it would be great and they would adapt some things for him as he was a little older.

I have actually stopped attending the classes mid way through term as it got a little frustrating, we were in a class with much much younger children and I don't feel the teacher was adapting anything for his age at all other than give him a toy to hold now and then.

Again, I'm sure that if your starting the class with a small baby then they would be great, but I certainly wouldn't recommend starting with a toddler.

S U P E R S T A R S . . . . .
What an amazing week of swimming we've had. You continue to amaze us each and every week.
This week the following instructors would like to say a huge well done to the following . . .
... "Michelle's stars of the week are Henry in Monday Portland Chapter 2 class who has struggled from day one but with a change of class time and a wonderfully patient Mum, Henry is now participating much better in class, is a lot happier and had his best lesson yet this week. Well done Henry (and Mum as I know it's been really hard some weeks😘 but your patience is now paying off 👍) And a special mention for Alfie in Friday's Chapter 17 class at Portland who has totally mastered his side breathing over the last 2 weeks 👍It's going to be hard saying goodbye to these swimming graduates 😢"
Aimee: "My stars of the week are. All of my children from my 9:30 MJC class they did some amazing swimming this week, especially swimming through the magic hoop with their bubba's whilst doing a sausage roll!!!! Special mention to Aaron who always tries his best and does so with the biggest smile on his face. Well done everyone, I can see you're going to develop into some fantastic little swimmers 🤗"
"My stars of the week are, Ch 9 10.45 the whole class swam brilliantly today. Amazing Superman push and glides! Well done! Ch4 11.15 Their little legs kicked so much today. Great work! Ch16 14.15 the whole class did some amazing Superman pushes and rotations in the water. Great work! Ch 2 14.45 My little star this week is Isabelle After several weeks of no underwear swims we’ve finally built her confidence back up and today she completed all underwater swims with a HUGE smile on her face! Isabelle you bought tears to my eyes today well done! Ch13 16.15 My super star swimmer today is Madeline. She swam 5 meters with ease! Well done Madeline, keep up the good swimming"

What an amazing week of swimming we've had. You continue to amaze us each and every week.
This week the following instructors would like to say a huge well done to the following . . .
... "Michelle's star of the week is Penny in her Friday Chapter 2 Portland class. Penny struggled from lesson 1 after not enjoying the underwater swim and from then on it took time and patience doing all the surface activities and avoiding underwater swims building up Penny's confidence to get her enjoying swimming. Mum has been practising the name, are you ready go? lots in the bath and more recently even filling the bath and going underwater with Penny together at home (😁dedication!) We've just completed week 18 and Penny did 2 of the class underwater swims with LOTS of smiles and enthusiasm. Mum was bursting with pride and so was Michelle. Patience and practise pays off, well done Penny (and of course Mum👍)"
Laura: "My star of the week goes to my 11 and 11.30 classes at Portland Saturday they all swam through parents legs and made an extra effort this week! Special mention for Leo who swam all 12m by himself in chapter 10 and Ellie for her amazing star float - proud of you all"
Marie. S: "My star of the week is Oliver at Portland, in ch8. He has progressed so much in recent weeks after a few wobbly weeks around the birth of his baby brother. Today he did a huge solo 123 swim to his dad and did lots of woggle skills which was awesome as he’s not liked the woggle for ages"
Aimee: "My stars of the week are. Myles from my 9am MJ class, Ethan from my 10am MJ class, Henry from my 11:30 MJ class and Dexter and Parker from my 2pm Portland class. All of these little ones have been through a few weeks of wobbles, but they all did really well during their lesson this week. They managed the whole class without any upset or tears and had a go at every activity, even an underwater swim. Well done boys and I'd like to say a special thank you to Dexter for my extra special cuddle!!!!!!"

Ivy Rose learnt a new skill this week and what an amazing job she does of it!
From the start of the lessons we work on holding on, so that when babies see the side they will instinctively put their arms out to hold on. We progress this skill by adding on a swim. ... This is the first time Ivy Rose has performed this skill, yet she knows exactly what to do.
If you're on Instagram we'd love a follow, were just a few away from the 500 mark!

This week the following instructors would like to say a huge well done to the following . . .
... Aimee: "My stars of the week. I'd like to say a BIG well done to all of my classes this week. Everyone has showed some amazing kicking with straight legs and pointy toes. I'd like to give an extra special well done to Annika from my Sutton court class for her best week of swimming yet. She gave everything 100% this week and did so with the biggest smile on her face. Also, well done to Joey, Esme and Bowie for their brilliant 1,2,3 swims."
Lisa: "Abigail has to be my star of the week. Abigail has gone through a period of being quite nervous in the water. Mum and Abigail have worked so hard to overcome this and I couldn't be any prouder. Abigails confidence is growing each week and we had an amazing session in Sunday. Proof that being supportive, patient and encouraging really do work wonders!"

What an amazing week of swimming we've had. You continue to amaze us each and every week.
This week the following instructors would like to say a huge well done to the following . . .
... Laura: "My star of the week is Harry from Victoria on Thursday. Harry wore his special power goggles this week and was putting his face in the water to retrieve toys from the bottom. So proud of you Harry you were amazing! Keep up the good work"
Aimee: "My stars of the week are. All of my babies and parents from my Sutton Court 11:45 chapter 2 class. They all did the best underwater Name Ready Splash's 😊 I'd also like to say well done to brothers Evan and Toby from my Portland classes. They both found a little bit more confidence this week and did some amazing swimming and lastly Logan from my my 3pm portland class, he's really overcome his wobbles and did some very impressive treading water"
Michelle: "My Stars of the Week were Leo in Portland Thursday Chapter 8 class who was happy and cooperative on his woggle for the first time ever in class!! There will be no stopping him now 😁👍⭐
And Maggie in Portland Friday chapter 2 class who has always struggled with elements in lesson, some weeks not doing underwater swims, other weeks getting upset on the hold on exercise or when sat on the side doing Humpty Dumpty. However after a 2 week family holiday with LOTS of practise in the pool she was a different baby, participating in every single skill with smiles and absolutely no getting upset at all . Proof that practise really does work!😁👍⭐"
Miranda: "My stars this week are Clara, Oliver & Emily from Woodlands Chapter 12. They absolutely smashed their lesson on streamlining and did brilliant independent Glide Swims towards the end for their sinkers. Also, Theo from Chapter 9, now wearing goggles, has completely overcome his extended period of wobbles, thanks to Mum's positive approach and patience and lots of practice at home. Well done Theo!"

Wow, another amazing week of teaching our superstars to swim. So many of you have been practicing on holiday and it's really paid of.
The following instructors would like to say a HUGE well done to their little swimmers.
... Miranda: " My Monday Ivy House, Chapter 11s did amazingly well this week with their back swimming themed lesson. All of them achieved huge, uninterrupted back swims on the diagonal of the pool, carrying on round the corner! Eliza's tales of her epic 10m back swim with only Bubba for assistance certainly inspired this class. Special well done to Corbin who has taken a break from back swimming for the past few months and made his come back this week! Well done, class!
George from Thursdays Ivy House Chapter 17 class. This week George really showed how well he can swim on his back, by carefully listening to instructions and trying super hard with all of the activities. Great rainbows, George!"
Laura: "My star of the week is Leo for his amazing star float at MJC"
Aimee: "A BIG well done to all of my toddler classes this week for their amazing star floats. Well done to Seth from my Sutton Court class for some amazing solo swimming on his woggle and Arabella from my 3pm Portland class who swam from the wobble board all the way down to the deep end all by herself. I was very impressed and very proud"
Michelle: "My Stars of the Week were Leo in my Portland Thursday Chapter 8 class who was happy and cooperative on his woggle for the first time ever in class! There will be no stopping him now 😁👍⭐
And Maggie in Portland Friday chapter 2 class who has always struggled with elements in lesson, some weeks not doing underwater swims, other weeks getting upset on the hold on exercise or when sat on the side doing Humpty Dumpty.

We love Waterbabies my 2 year old been going since he was 4 months old and he can nearly swim.Its all so help in everyday we use the different commands.Bodhi is so confident in the water this all so helps at bath time.The biggest thing is how he's learnt to be safe around a pool. I am sure that this could save his life.

We have nearly completed chapter 1 and have loved every lesson! There’s always something new to learn each lesson and Amiee is a great teacher! We can’t wait for chapter 2!

We have been going to water babies since my daughter was 5 weeks old. She is now 13 months and just about to start chapter 5. We absolutely LOVE IT! Izzy gets sooo excited when Michelle gets the toys out especially bubba �. I love how how vocal she is in the water too. It shows how much fun she is having and the underwater swims are just second nature to her now. I would recommend water babies to anyone wanting to introduce their little one to swimming and water safety. Swimming is the highlight of our week �. It may be a little pricey but is well worth It! Xx

We have been going to Waterbabies since my daughter was 18 weeks old and at 20 months we are still loving it!! Yes it's not the cheapest baby/toddler activity but we have really enjoyed it and it has been great to then go to the pool outside of the classes and to see my daughter so confident in the water. I would defiantly recommend the classes to anyone and do so on a regular basis.

We are close to finishing our very first term with Waterbabies and we absolutely LOVE IT! Even though some people may say it's very pricy, I always respond with -"It's worth it". And I don't say it just because that's what people usually say but because it really is worth it. Our fabulous teacher Michelle makes everyone feel welcomed and comfortable and worry free (for those who are just starting or thinking about starting). We have just voted for her and would do it every day, if we could. :) Safe to say we are definitely continuing with next term :)

Tomorrow will be 1st Thursday not going swimming � Max was only 8 weeks when he first started, now he’s nearly 2.5. We loved every minute of it and we will miss it terribly especially after our last lesson where Max was absolute star and thoroughly enjoyed it as we had few wobbles in the past. Michelle is absolutely fantastic teacher, she brings so much to the lessons. She’s just amazing and we’ll really miss her. Thank you so much Michelle for your amazing work. All our love Andrea and Max xxx I would definitely recommend water babies and if you want to take your baby swimming, definitely do it water babies style, they’re the best �xx

Sadly our time with water babies has come to an end. Isaac has been in Michelle's group for just over 2 years and we can't thank her enough. I don't think we could ever have imagined the confident swimmer our tiny little 4 month old baby would become.

Michelle, your enthusiasm, your knowledge of each child and their likes and dislikes in the water (and all their names!) is just unbelievable. You are amazing at what you do.

Thank you again. Lots of love Sally and Isaac xxx

Poppy has been doing Water Babies at West Bridgeford with Laura since she was 12 weeks old, she is now nearly two and I can, without hesitation say that it is the best thing we ever did for her! She amazes us every week and she is so excited to get in the pool! She also adores Laura!

Our daughter loves going swimming every week with Water Babies. Our tutor Lisa is brilliant with the children, really patient and always smiling and encouraging them! Rose has progressed so well in the last year - she's able to hold on to the side by herself, and sometimes climbs out too! I was nervous about her going underwater for the first few sessions, but it's surprising how quickly they adapt, and it's now second nature to her (it has also encouraged me to go underwater too - something I've never been comfortable with)

I would highly recommend Water Babies to everyone, it is so important for children to learn to swim and be safe in the water.

Me and my son have been doing lessons since he was about 12 weeks old. Now on term 6 and still absolutely love it! Worth every penny and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone! I can't thank Lisa enough for such an amazing experience and not only helping me be more confident in water but teaching my son to be safe in/around the pool! We will both miss having lessons with Lisa but look forward to new lessons with Marie :-)

Love, love, love Waterbabies. My 16 month old boy has been attending since around 4 months and has loved every lesson. His confidence in water is amazing so is the smile on his face every time I tell him we are going swimming! My washer is always full of towels, swim nappies and swim costumes as we go swimming whenever possible!

Joining Water Babies is the best thing we did for Caitlin... been swimming with Michelle since 3 months old and loved it from day 1... at 14 months she still gets so excited about it and seeing her learn all these wonderful, life saving skills is priceless... worth its weight in gold and every penny. Love you all! ♥

If I could have only chosen one activity for my children to take part in, water babies would have been my choice! My little girl attended water babies from the age of around 4 months until the age of 4 years! My little boy followed in her footsteps from about 3 months old and is loving his Saturday mornings at water babies more and more now he is 2! For me swimming is a necessary life skill that all children deserve to have and I wouldn't choose anywhere else to start developing that skills other than water babies!

I really thought Leo was never going to have the confidence to let go and swim. But the work Laura has done with him is amazing. He is putty in her hands and she always makes him laugh! I'm impressed by the way she differentiates the tasks for all abilities and he thoroughly enjoys every lesson. I'm thrilled he's having such a great time developing such a vital life skill. Thank you, Water Babies! :-)

Fantastic teachers (especially Michelle)...my son, Billy, has developed so much confidence in the water and so have I! Billy and I love are weekly sessions. Would highly recommend it. We've swam at Stubbin Wood and Kings Mill Hospital. Stubbin Wood is a fantastic little pool!

Couldn’t recommend Water Babies enough! Our teacher Miranda is fab, really encouraging too when my little Elijah has had off weeks. The skills he already has before even turning two is amazing. Worth every penny. Elijah loves it, but I love it just as much �

Both of my children are at water babies my eldest is 3 years and has been coming since he was 7 weeks old. The confidence that it has given him around water speaks for itself. It has so far been an amazing journey that we have taken together and he is just starting to swim independently. I signed my 2nd child up straight away, would recommend to anyone.

Attended my 1st session at Sutton today with my 1 year old Grand daughter and was so impressed!!!! Amy the instructor made us feel so welcome and I was amazed at how well the little babies were doing in the pool.So wish we could have joined sooner but we're here now and so looking forward to the next session.xx

AMAZING... This is the best thing we have done for our little girl

She is so confident in the water its unreal..



Thanks to to u all!!

Kayleigh(3 yrs)loves swimming with Anna and now has loads of confidence in the water. My son Harry(6months) also loves his swimming and will happily splash and kick! Keep up the good work Water Babies :-)

Brilliant experience for me and my little boy!

WHO GETS DRIED & DRESSED FIRST??
We get asked a lot of practical questions about baby swimming and one of our main top tips is to get YOURSELF dried and dressed first after swimming.
Taking your baby swimming with no spare hands to help at the end? Well this may feel strange to start, but if you can wrap your little one up in a towel (place a spare towel in the car seat too- so it wont get super soaked) then pop baby in the car seat all snug whilst you concentrate on yourse...lf. They can happily watch you and even dry off a little more whilst waiting.
Once you're ready you can then concentrate on baby and get them all dried off and dressed ready for a feed and to leave.
It also saves you dripping all over them when your putting their dry clothes on, and normally the minute they're dried and dressed they want that feed whilst your rushing to get ready.
Who already does this?

Would recommend Water Babies to everyone! We started with Aurora at 12 weeks and she started off very unsure. Since then she's already come so far and I love taking her. Emma is fantastic and so enthusiastic

We started waterbabies when Finn was a tiny 8 week old. He's now a week off his 2nd Birthday and can swim short distances unaided and could swim around the pool on a woggle all day if you'd let him. We've had two fantastic teachers at Derriford- Saira and Emma. We've moved out of area but have continued waterbabies in a different area. I'd recommend classes to anyone, the money in my opinion is definitely worth it!

We started Water Babies 7yrs ago with our 1st child and have never looked back! Our second child is still on his Water Babies journey.

Our boys � the water, we've made some great friends on our journey and ultimately we have the reassurance that our boys are safe and learning a life skill.

It's a fun session constantly learning new skills, the whole team are fantastic . If you have a new baby book on to a taster, you won't look back �

We love Water Babies and our son has been swimming with them for nearly 2 years - we could not recommend them high enough. Our teacher Claire is amazing as she makes it so much fun and makes the class friendly and nurturing :)

We cannot get enough of WaterBabies. We have been going since my daughter was 6 months old and she loves it! She did go through a patch where she hated it but we persevered and now I have a water confident 15mth old who knows how to hold on to the side safely and can swim through a hoop when I let her go! Amazing doesn't cover it, worth every single penny and our teacher Rachel is so lovely and makes you feel completely in safe hands :) so glad we found WaterBabies!x

This is by far the best activity we have chosen for our baby- if you're thinking of joining Water Babies book a free taster lesson with them - the teachers are so professional and knowledgable they really give you the best start to water safety and confidence in the pool -which will lead to our little one swimming independently and be able to save themselves if they ever fall in too.

We've met so many lovely parents and other babies and you get so much more than just swimming lessons - the journey book is lovely and such a great keepsake for all the stickers, and the cloth badges, the free photo shoot (yes you have to buy your own pictures like you do anywhere) and the free first aid course is great especially with a new baby. All the girls in the office have been friendly and helpful, and they told us everything we needed to know before we booked on- we have had to move classes a few times due to illness and and they've been so accommodating offering other class options, you get exactly what you pay for with them we are very happy and highly recommend them.

Rosie loves water babies and it always cheers her up if she's having an off day :) She's been going since 9 weeks old and is now on chapter 5. We recently went on holiday and she was blowing bubbles in the water and holding on doing monkey monkey on her own I was so proud! Kerri is a wonderful instructor and Rosie loves smiling at her :) I also can't rate highly enough how everything runs on time!

Really enjoyed my first session with my 5 week old baby even if he was asleep for the whole class. Hopefully he'll be awake for the next session so he can go under water but the staff were really great, made you feel comfortable and very professional. Looking forward to more lessons.

Our youngest swims with Water Babies, our eldest owes his exceptional ASA progress to date to starting out with Water Babies.



They work extremely hard to develop confidence, life skills and best of all have fun in a relaxed family learning environment. As a dad I would highly recommend the experience for children.



This team is very accommodating and have been nothing but helpful, supportive and professional throughout our swimming experiences with them. Seeing our youngest son move so confidently and naturally in the water is like magic.



I can't recommend them strongly enough!

My son Alfie was 2 when he started at Water Babies and now in his second term he absolutely loves it. We love going together each week, Alfie now tries everything in the class even going underwater now when he was scared at the beginning. Seeing his smiling face happy and laughing every lesson is brilliant and means the world to me. It's something very special that we do together and we have met a lovely group of other parents. I cannot recommend Water Babies enough

Me and my son have been going to water babies since october. It our highlight of the week. My son absolutely loves it and it makes me happy seeing him so confident with the water at 15 months old! I can't wait to take him on holiday in July playing in the pool. I was recommended water babies by a friend if she hadn't have told me about this then we would never have started. The instructor is so friendly and relaxed. She never puts any pressure on the parents or child. I throughly recommend water babies.

I'm really loving doing water babies with my youngest daughter but it's also great to watch my eldest daughter (who comes to watch the lessons) in the bath with her dolls reenacting everything we do! Would highly recommend it too anyone who's looking for lessons with their baby �

I would genuinely recommend water babies to anyone! We started with my little girl about 7 weeks ago. The classes are pricy, so all along we said we shall only do one term and then stop. However we love it that much that we have decided to do the next term and I can imagine we will carry on now for as long as we can.



My daughter absolutely loves it, she screams with happiness when she is in the pool. The teacher Saira is fantastic and is very supportive when parents are a little nervous. She's already started to kick around in the water and loves bath time even more now. Because water babies teaches you to teach your baby to swim, it's given me a lot more confidence about having her in the pool with me. The classes are worth every penny you spend! I'd recommend to anyone.

I was lucky enough to take both my children to water babies at St Mellion, we always had a magical time and the sessions couldn't come round quick enough. I still have some fabulous friends that we made at water babies and my toddlers still love the water and are full of confidence, all due to our time at Water Babies. It's an absolute must for new mums x

I cannot swim and hate/scared of being in the water and didn't want my daughter to be the same, so when I saw these lessons, we decided to take her for the taster session. She loved it and I found that I enjoyed it too, so we booked. We have just finished her beginner term and have both loved it. Rachel has been very understanding with my fear too, and I can now go underwater with no problems, so it is helping both of us :) Daughter loves it too, and now she can walk, she tried to get in the pool whilst waiting for the lesson to start too lol.



My only con is that the closest venue to me is 20 something miles and 35 minutes away, and I don't know if we would be able to afford it for any other children we may have in the future.



But great teachers, giving babies great confidence and helping parents too :) x

Freddie and I had our first lesson last night and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Very friendly staff and the teacher made us feel very relaxed. I loved the way in which it was very personal and one to one. The added touch of all the babies introducing themselves was lovely, hopefully they will stay best of friends. The life skills they teach along the way will remain with each baby and will save their life in unexpected situations to which I thank in advance. Excited for the next lessons and many more after that. Gonna practise our songs and routines in the pool on Monday. Thank you Emma, Phil and Freddie xx

Fantastic team of people, fun splashy lessons with lots of variety. Very well organised and well worth every penny! Just about to start chapter 3 with Rachel who is brilliant. Rosalie is now completely chilled going under water and loves her lessons. Can't wait to see what's to come next!

Elijah and I have just finished our first chapter at St. Mellions with Kerri and we love it, he has grown in confidence over the ten weeks and he is so happy to be in the pool. He watches so intently to Kerri talking and singing making him smile and laugh. The repetitive actions and songs means he knows exactly what’s coming next, such as the gentle water splashes on his face (he screws his face up lol) when he is about to jump in and when it’s time for his underwater swim. I think his favourite is swimming on his back he looks calm and peaceful. We did our underwater photo shoot today (not in Plymouth) it was a great experience and it ran so smoothly. I think Elijah thought it was a normal lesson. We are very happy with our photographs and we can’t wait to start chapter 2 in September.

Couldn’t rate highly enough. Our teacher (Rachel) was simply wonderful, the children loved her. The team is so nurturing, warm and encourage the children at their own pace. Such a positive introduction to swimming.

As we get into the last week of term we'd like to thank our clients for the memories from this Chapter. We've really loved watching your little ones progress and enjoy themselves in the pool - it's why we do what we do!
As you hopefully head out to do some swimming in your own time this summer, we'd like to encourage you to practice what you've learnt, ensure you stay safe & have lots of fun! Keep sharing your summer swimming on here and in our group. The summer break can feel quite long, and us teachers love to see what you've got up to!

🏆 S W I M M E R O F T H E W E E K 🏆
Our swimmer of the week for last week was little Oscar, who swims with his Dad at Dronfield.
Oscar moved pools at the end of his last Chapter and has coped with the adjustment brilliantly. At first he was a little reluctant to take part in some of the underwater swims, however over the last few weeks he's really grown in confidence and now he's got a smile on his face for the whole lesson.
... A big shout out also to Oscar's Dad who is reassuring, supportive and doesn't ever force Oscar to do things that he's not happy to do. By letting Oscar take the lead, both Dad and little one are now getting the most out of their lessons and showing some amazing skills in the pool!
Well done Oscar and Dad 👏👏👏

Amelia's story....
Meet lovely little Amelia. Amelia is one of our current Water Babies and has overcome the challenges that many toddlers, babies & parents go through - leaving their swimming journey and returning again after some time. Amelia has had ups and downs, like many children do, but now she is loving swimming again.
"Water babies was one of the best things we did for Amelia from being a baby she loved the water and enjoyed her classes every week. It was such a sham...e to have to have to stop but coming back has been a great experience so far. If you are thinking of joining or even returning after a break do not hesitate the teachers and amazing and friendly . The atmosphere is so nice and everyone is welcoming. Your baby will come on in leaps with Water Babies."
Amelia & mum's story shows that with the help of Water Babies, you can encourage your little one to love the water and to become confident & independent swimmers.

🛑 Safety Sam's Safety Tip 🛑
Did you know that backfloating is an important safety skill?
Encouraging your little one to be confident and relaxed on their backs in the water could help them stay safe in a difficult situation. Struggling or tiring in the water can mean getting into difficulty, and the ability to rotate and float on your back to conserve energy and shout for help is a key safety skill.
... At Water Babies, we introduce back floating right at the beginning of Chapter 1 and it's something we progress right the way through their journey as your little one develops and gains confidence and independence.
To teach your little one this great life skill, plus many others, join us in September by calling us on 01909 776660!

🌞🍦😎 The Sun Has Got His Hat On 😎🍦🌞
Are you loving this wonderful sunny, summer weather we're having?
We are too, but we have to confess, sometimes it does present problems in the pool. Sun lotions and potions can cause chemical and clarity issues and we kindly ask that where possible, you shower off or refrain from using sun lotions before your swimming lessons. We understand that this isn't always possible, but if you can help us where you can, we can help keep our pools crystal clear for you to enjoy!

🤓 Goggles are Great! 🤓
Whether you're doing your digi swims in Chapter 1, Ring-a-Roses in Chapter 2, Glide Swims in Chapter 3, or Holiday Swims in Chapter 5, goggles are great at helping you get the most out of lesson and to maximise on the joy of watching your little superstar under the water.
We think a pair of clear, comfortable goggles really make those moments the most enjoyable, which is why we encourage you to bring a pair to every lesson. Ask your teacher for a pair, or order a pair here ---> https://bit.ly/2dKfxCY

We love waterbabies I take both my children to lessons and they both love it !! I couldn't rate it more highly x

We are about to start chapter 4 and we have loved every session since we started chapter 1. I love spending time bonding and having fun in the pool with my little one. I never though it was possible for babies so young to learn these swimming skills, it's amazing to see!

Water Babies South Yorkshire is absolutely amazing. Both of my children learnt to swim with them, from the age of 3 months and 6 months, and at the age of 5 my son achieved his 100m badge, and at 4 my daughter achieved her 25m badge. They are both 'water babies' - loving swimming under the water more than on the surface. The Water Babies classes were fun and informative, and all the staff are exceptionally knowledgable, friendly and encouraging. I would highly recommend these classes.

Was mine n my baby's last lesson today as next week we go away.. I love loved the experience and just want to says a huge thank you to donna our teacher she as been fantastic and my little girl is 6 month and as come on miles in the water she is fantastic at her job.. highly recommend

My son Ronan was 21 months old when we started Water Babies in may 2017. He has done two chapters so far and signed up for the next. It’s not too late for toddlers to learn to swim. He has learned really quickly to catch up and enjoys every lesson. It is fun for him while he’s learning to swim. His teacher Rosemary J is an excellent friendly lady and I wouldn’t be where I am with my son swimming with out her. Thank you x

My little girl loves her lessons with water babies! It's smiles all round when she's in the swim hold and she kicks like a frog when she's under the water :)

My little girl has been attending water babies since September 2014. She loves it and don't get me wrong at the start she wasn't so keen as she was 9 months old and the eldest in her class she had her own mind and didn't want to do half the things like the other babies. But we carried on to the 2nd term and it's the best decision we have made, its well worth the money and she now tries to get in to the pool before her lesson has started!

My little boy has nearly finished his first chapter at wales primary school and he absolutely loves it, it has built his confidence in water so much!! Can't wait to start chapter 2 �� would highly recommend ��

My little boy absolutely loves the swimming classes! Louise is amazing and makes you feel so comfortable as some things can be quite daunting but you feel at ease with Louise and my son has developed amazingly and I'm so proud and impressed at what he can do! We have been through chapter 1&2 so far and I am amazed! Would definitely recommend Waterbabies �

My baby girl is loving every minute of the classes and I am loving spending time in the water with her. Its absoloutly amazing how natural it is to them at such a young age. Water Babies has been the best decision we’ve made! Would 100% recommend and cannot wait to start Chapter 2 :)

Max has just finished his first chapter at Greenacre Barnsley and he's loved it. Louise is a lovely teacher who is very good at her job, would definitely recommend water babies. The only downside is you can't get poolside at Greenacre. But otherwise we've loved it as a family. �

Just finished our first term at Waterbabies and we absolutely love it! My little girl has become really confident in the water and has now learnt to hold her breath underwater. Our instructor Rachel is fabulous! She puts you at ease right away and explains everything really clearly. Waterbabies is by far the best group/class I have done with my daughter. Really looking forward to our second term!

Emma (and Jessica)

Jack absolutely loves his swimming lessons he’s so much more confident and I’m a lot more comfortable with him in water. I never imagined I could let him go underwater and he would swim to the top or that he would be taught to hold on to the side of the pool. Our teacher vicky is amazing, it’s fun and could potentially save a babies life. Cannot recommend enough �

I've taken my little man to waterbabies since he was 4mths old have loved every minute. There has been moments of amazing floating right through to fiesty toddler climbing out n saying 'no' but each moment has made a lasting memory that I will never forget. Helen has been amazing with him and always known when to push him and when to let him be. It's not a cheap activity but I would pay it every time to do it all again. Guttered that we have to stop but at 3 1/2 yrs old I have no doubt this experience will prove it's self to be invaluable for his development.

Thank you so much Helen, it's been amazing

Fantastic! I love it and, more importantly, my little boy loves it. Big smiles every week. We started when he was 4 weeks and 2 days old, and have nearly finished chapter 2. Looking forward to starting chapter 3!



Everything is so clear! From what we are doing in class (and why!) to re-booking and paying for classes. Thanks so much!

Both my children have swam with waterbabies and we have all loved every minute. So disappointed to be finishing - hopefully it may just be for the time being!

Rachel is a truly fantastic teacher and made the whole experience even more enjoyable! Thank you x

Best swimming lessons around. I would not dream of going anywhere else and I do nothing but recommend Waterbabies to every new Mum. They’re just the loveliest of classes and all the children I see taught are so advanced. The children are taught through play but there is alway a great focus on safety too. Frankie is so confident around water now and he used to be quite anxious. Onto chapter 11 next, time really does fly by!!!!

Ps. Donna really is the best!

Been going to Water Babies for nearly 2 years now and absolutely love it. My little girl went through the water wobbles for quite some time but with the help and encouragement of our fantastic teacher Rosemary, my daughter is once again loving it. We have just been away on holiday with family and they all couldn't believe how much she can do in the water and how much confidence she had jumping in the pool again and again and again.

My husband and I took our little girl to the first chapter of Water Babies. To begin with we both really enjoyed it but as the lessons went on we felt that the main focus was the underwater swims (which we were told, originally, would only be 5% of each lesson). I think this was primarily to prepare us for the underwater photoshoot which we cancelled anyway due to how expensive the photos are! We decided not to take our little girl to the remaining few lessons and we're then surprised to find out that £155 had been taken from our bank account for the next chapter! - apparently it's in the terms and conditions that they store your bank details and input them for the following sessions without contacting you first to inform you that payment will be taken - although when I spoke with my bank they said they are not allowed to do this. When I rang to ask for a refund I felt I was spoken to rather rudely and was told I would have to pay a £30 admin fee to get the money refunded back! Although I was then told that I would be 'let off' with this charge - as if I was supposed to be grateful? There was no courtesy call - even after having missed the previous 3 sessions - I know the swim teacher does a register each week so she would have known that we were not there. We did consider taking our little girl to Water Babies when she was a little older but have completely changed our minds now! and are left feeling very disappointed �

Ooh this looks exciting! Coming out next week - 20 years old and still amazing! 📖 🐭

Do you use your Bubba bath thermometer at home?

It's official - Water Babies teachers are the highest qualified baby and toddler swim teachers ANYWHERE.
No other swim school in the UK has such in-depth training. It covers not just what we teach, but why we teach it - how each technique helps develop swimming strokes, life saving ability and links to your child's growth and development....so much more than simply bouncing round signing nursery rhymes!
... Always feel free to ask your teacher, or drop us an email, if you want to know more about a skill you have learned in the pool.... #simplythebest #babyswimming #waterbabies

Your photographer....
... What do you need if you want a fabulous shot of your baby swimming underwater? A fabulous underwater photographer of course!
Your photographer will be among the best in the world in a highly specialised field. They don’t just point and click, they need to be able to hold their breath, lower their heart rate, handle heavy equipment and keep their hands steady. All while trying to capture that unforgettable shot in a split second!
Most of our photographers are also highly experienced scuba divers, which is probably why they’re so good at capturing your baby’s image. Many have won awards for their photos, others have published books of underwater photographs, some have worked for the BBC or MoD, one has filmed Doctor Who and they’ve worked with the likes of Angelina Jolie and Bear Grylls so you can rest assured your dealing with professionals here!

The Dipographer - it's a real job!
... At Water Babies we've got a very special team of people who we call 'dipographers'. They're very skilled in swimming your baby in front of the camera at just the right moment and in just the right way to get the best possible underwater photograph for you.
They are all Water Babies teachers who’ve been specially trained to watch and interpret your baby's body language, expressions and even the noises they make! Totally focused on your little one, they keep an eye on how comfortable and safe they're feeling so they can make any changes, or understand if they've simply had enough. We're passionate about photography, so we really put our dipographers through their paces.
All Water Babies swimming teachers have already completed over 300 hours of training before starting their special dipography training. Dipographers have to do over 16 hours extra training, involving 3 days' combined practical and theory sessions, this is then followed by a supervised photo shoot before they become fully qualified and we give them their 'water wings'.
Nobody else goes to quite the same lengths as we do to get that perfect shot!

Wow what a fantastic journey! My little girl has just finished with Waterbabies after starting when she was four months old. To be honest I'm feeling quite sad that we will no longer share a weekly special time slot together in the pool. It's been fun, quality mummy daughter time which has filled me with pride as I've watched both her water confidence and swimming skills blossom.



I highly recommend the Waterbabies swimming programme as the lessons are exciting and cleverly build on lifesaving skills from the very first lesson. It still amazes me that bouncing round as a baby on a woggle singing 'horsey horsey' was teaching my girl the beginnings of treading water! She has left with the ability to swim a width without swimming aids but more importantly she's left with the confidence to be safe and enjoy being in water.



Finally, I must say that along the way I have met a skilled and talented group of swimming teachers who are friendly, enthusiastic and encouraging. A MASSIVE thanks to you all especially for being understanding and supportive when Emilia went through her 'water wobbles'. With your help she got through them and is now swimming like a mermaid!



Luckily I'm not leaving Waterbabies just yet as my little lad is loving his lessons and building his skills just as well as his big sister!

We have been doing water babies since our little girl was 2 weeks old and it's amazing how they adapt to this at such a young and we've just finished chapter 1 and so look forward to starting chapter 2 where hoping to finish all the chapters with our princess amazing work everyone is doing at water babies so glad I knew about you before naveya was born every Sunday just makes our weekend so much fun and I love seeing the improvement she's making each weekпњљ

We have been coming to Waterbabies for a year and a half, since Wilf was 3 weeks old. He has learned so much over that time and has developed amazing confidence in the water. He can swim independently using a woggle, but whatвАЩs more is that he absolutely loves his lessons. Both his and my favourite time of the week. CanвАЩt recommend Waterbabies highly enough! пњљ

I love Water Babies! This is my second round with my second child and it is just consistently brilliant. All of the teachers are so lovely, so gentle and encouraging with the children and so much fun. WB communication is excellent and they're an all round lovely bunch! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for swimming lessons to enjoy with their children.

This goodie bag has been really popular at such a fab price. Before we finish the offer does any one else want to take advantage?

For lots of our swimmers this is their first year building an immune system, for lots more they’ve just started nursery or pre-school, & the question is always whether to swim or stay at home.
If your little one has a cold but is otherwise happy and well in themselves they can swim,& the humid pool environment can actually help them. We will always have wetsuits available at the pool too! If however your little one has any kind of sickness or upset tummy they need to stay a...t home for 48 hours since their last episode.
If you’re ever unsure you are more than welcome to phone the office on 01933 277035

We need your support!
The health and well-being of our children and young people is being challenged as never before. Without urgent action, our children will become the least healthy adult population in living memory. We at Water Babies know how important a fit and healthy childhood means to the future of children’s health and mental well-being, so we are leading a campaign to get the highest level of Government to take responsibility and drive improvements by appointing a Cabinet Minister for 0-5-year olds.
We’re gathering signatures on our petition to get this issue into Parliament. To get behind our crucial campaign and make a real change to the future of children in the UK, please sign here: www.change.org/p/theresa-may-mp-we-need-a -single-cabinet-mi…

💦💖Water Babies: Benefits 💖💦
The benefits of skin-to-skin contact between parent/carer and baby are well-documented. Proven to calm and relax both parties, it can also help to regulate your baby’s heart rate and breathing, stimulate their digestion, regulate their temperature, protect against infection and support long-term emotional well-being. For mums and their little ones, skin-to-skin contact also stimulates the mother’s body to release hormones that support breastfeeding... and nurturing instincts.
The skin-to-skin contact experienced during infant swimming lessons is something that you’ll both benefit from, and its calming effects are bound to help conquer those early water wobbles! There’ll be nothing more reassuring for your baby than to feel the familiar touch of a carer who is happy, relaxed and attentive in the pool. Likewise, you’ll feel reassured by your baby’s growing confidence in the water.
We offer lots of weekend and evening classes offering opportunities for both mummies and daddies to swim with their little ones. Our next term will start in November but you can register your details now and we will text/call/email you (whichever you prefer) when we have released our classes, so you can book onto your perfect class in your preferred location.
For more information please call 01933 277035, PM us or email chasebubba@waterbabies.co.uk

Hello, how are you? How are you today? Roar, roar, tiger arms! 🎶 The Water Babies in this video can sing and swim brilliantly. We love to help them learn through music!

Here at Water Babies we give children the tools to maximise their potential. 92% of Water Babies between the ages of 7 and 11 can swim 25 meters unaided! 🙌

At Water Babies, we're committed to welcoming babies from all backgrounds and abilities. Melene is one of many mums that has been able to build confidence, overcome obstacles and make great friends at her local class. #NBSW

We have been water babies for 7 months now and we absolutely love it. Debi is amazing with the babies and we couldn't imagine going anywhere else.

We cant thank waterbabies enough, in particular our teacher Kirsty who has continually encouraged my daughter. She is caring kind and even swapped her lesson plan round when we had the water wobbles. We have a little girl who giggles, jumps in and who asked to swim under water with her mummy through a hoop (something we used to cry at as soon as we saw it) Thank you. Xxx

📸 Our new photography focuses on all of the things that makes your Water Babies experience so unique... you, your baby, our teachers and that special bond that ties it all together.

🙌 🎉 Huge congratulations are in order for all of our award winners from last night's celebration. We can't forget the amazing work they do in getting all of our babies confident in the water. We're proud to say that we're doing some awesome things in and out of the pool, so let's hear it for 'em!

Who would we be without our amazing teachers? We certainly wouldn’t be the world’s number one international baby swimming school.
Sisters Kerri and Saira are both phenomenal Water Babies teachers... But they’re family first. From the age of 18 Kerri has had a passion for teaching, spending the warmer seasons teaching swimming to young children and adults then spending her winters on the mountains bringing snowboarding to the masses. Her sister Saira could also be found chill...ing as she worked at an ice rink part-time while studying for her bachelor’s degree in psychology, before moving on to do a master’s in clinical psychology.
Of the two, Kerri’s Water Babies journey began first when she took her son to one of our classes. Having so much fun in class and getting a glimpse into the life and times of a Water Babies teacher, Kerri was hooked. “When a job came up I jumped at the chance to join the Water Babies team.” The fun rubbed off on Saira, too; “My sister used to talk about her job teaching for Water Babies and it always sounded amazing. When a job came up, I just had to follow suit!”.
Shortly after joining us, they both began to reap the rewards of teaching this essential life skill. Working with parents and carers during their initial steps into parenthood, they have both embraced the positive challenges that the role brings.
“Watching a baby blow bubbles for the first time, kick their legs for the first time, jump in, swim five metres, collect a dive hoop from the pool floor... it’s amazing being part of a journey with so many milestones!” – Saira
“The first time they smile at them in the water to seeing it light up again the first time they swim across the pool and so many times in between, it’s so special to be able to share those moments.” – Kerri
It’s not unusual for these bright moments of joy to occur in a Water Babies class. We’re focused on providing an environment where you can learn and have fun with your little one, making all of these immeasurable benefits a joy to take hold of.
“But most of all, it doesn’t feel like work! We’re preventing drowning, promoting water safety, and having a whole lot of fun at the same time!” – Saira
When Saira’s not in the pool you can find her indulging in her favourite past-times, “Avoiding standing on plastic toys, taking batteries out of my child’s annoying toys, and drinking cold coffee”. 😂 While Kerri’s natural habitat is chasing after an incredibly energetic five year old who can often be found “Exploring the depths of the woods, surfing, bike riding and occasionally jumping off mountains so I’m usually traipsing behind with the water, plasters and snacks!” 🚵‍♂️💪
Thank you to Saira and Kerri for sharing with us their Water Babies journey, and what an awesome journey it's been. Leave a comment below about your experience with our teachers, we love to hear it! 💙🐋

#splashathon2019 #piratesandprincesses #savingbabieslives

Thank you, Water Babies, for your astonishing fundraising, you have already raised an incredible £585,758 which is more than halfway to that £1million target – thank you! While you’re in the Splashathon zone, why not take the Splashathon quiz to find out which swimming style your little one has?

We have had a fantastic start to our Tommy's Splashathon week 👏 We had such splashy fun meeting all our fabulous pirates and princesses We would love you see your pictures of you and your little ones. We can’t wait for Day 2 xx

Only 2 weeks to #splashathon! Water Babies swimmers will be swimming in fancy dress – learning an important safety skill – and will save babies’ lives! Start your fundraising now! http://vmgiving.co/splashLNE #waterbabies #splashathon #peppapig #savingbabieslives #splashingtosavebabieslives #pirates #princesses

Baby Noah who swims at Kingsley school in Kettering with teacher Kelly was born under the care of the @tommys Centre for National Miscarriage Research at Birmingham Women's Hospital.

We are super excited to announce that for the week beginning Monday 1st July we’ll be holding sponsored Peppa Pig pirate and princess themed Splashathon events in your normal class time to raise funds for baby charity Tommy’s.
It’s hard to believe that every day, across the UK, 684 women go through a miscarriage, 152 babies are born too early and 10 babies are stillborn.
At Water Babies, we’re on a mission to change all that by fundraising for Tommy’s, a charity dedicated to... preventing miscarriage, stillbirth and premature birth.
For Tommy’s Splashathon our lovely Water Babies will each swim the Splashathon width in fancy dress - a splashy width of your pool in a way that's suitable for your little one's ability - in a special themed lesson and we'll be asking all our Water Babies swimmers to be sponsored to help us on our way to raising £1 million for Tommy’s.
There is lots more information here https://www.tommys.org/our-organis…/get -involved/splashathon and also a link on how to start setting up your little one’s online fundraising page http://vmgiving.co/splashLNE
Look out for an email that will be sent to you soon explaining everything and there will be regular updates here too.
Happy splashing xx

Too true!!!

A massive Thank you!!!! From us all 😍

DON’T FORGET ITS REBOOKING....
On Friday 5th July.....

No one else puts in the levels of professionalism, training and innovation that we do — and no one else works harder to ensure both you and your little one feel safe and happy.
Here are our 🐬 Top 10 Reasons 🐬 why you’re better off swimming with us!
💧1. No one is more qualified: ours are the ONLY baby swimming teachers who can obtain a Swim England national diploma in the subject. What's more, they're trained to tune in very carefully to the needs of you and your baby, and are... experts at helping your child to progress at their own rate.
💧2. We're committed to the Baby and Toddler Swimming Teaching Safety Guidelines: the first ever national guidelines for the safety of babies and toddlers during swimming lessons, which we were also proud to be a part of writing and developing!
💧3. Alongside NHS guidelines, babies can swim with us from birth: our youngest client was just 1 day old! (Pool temperature dependent).
💧4. We teach you to teach your baby to swim: so we'll always explain why we're doing everything as well as carefully demonstrate exactly what to do!
💧5. We progress our lessons in line with key phases in child development, allowing little ones to build upon the simple skills they'll learn very early on as they develop physically, intellectually and socially. It's fair to say there's a lot of science behind our methods!
💧6. It's not just about swimming - we incorporate baby signing and learning through Bubba School into our programme, which helps babies and toddlers to communicate earlier and in more detail, further enhancing both your experiences in the pool.
💧7. We’re fun! Enjoyment is key to our course, because the more relaxed and happy both you and your baby are, the better the results. Which is why everything we do is about making learning fun!
💧8. Our programme is endorsed by England's national governing body for swimming - Swim England!
💧9. We save lives: we know that more than a dozen Water Babies have used their skills to survive after accidentally falling into water — even though they were very young.
💧10. We build community. Friendship is important to us, and we actively promote socialising around our classes.

It was an incredible privilege to listen to the amazing Dr Suzanne Zeedyk share the work of ACE at the Water Babies annual conference this week and the importance of building connections and relationships and how through our lessons we are helping families to build those essential connections for child development. We’ve always known how important this special bonding time with your little one in the water is!

🎵 Music and cognitive development 🎵
Did you know music and songs have a direct link to language development, short term memory, cognitive ability and short term memory?
Our baby and preschool classes are full of fun nursery rhymes and word associations which not only help little ones to understand what to expect during their time in the water, from leg kicking to tiger arms and blowing bubbles, but also helps their cognitive development whilst having fun.
... What a great way to utilise those amazing little brains!

Lots of people ask us "how do you photograph babies underwater?" Most imagine we have a Go-Pro and just see how it goes underwater.... Nothing could be further from the truth! Water Babies is the largest underwater baby photography company in the world - last year we took 225,000 underwater photos! Our specially designed underwater studio, includes clever lighting, high spec camera and housing, plus a world class photographer to ensure that we've got the best chance of creating some magic with your little one in front of the camera. Unlike a normal photo-shoot - our photographer only has a few seconds to capture that magical moment your little one has been practicing all term for. Just as well we know everything there is to know about this beautiful art form and about relaxing little ones in the pool!

Chapter 1 swimmers - soon you will have the chance to go under the water to see your baby swimming underwater for the first time! We recommend you pop on some goggles so your view of this truly magical moment is crystal clear! Goggles with clear lenses are best so your baby can see your eyes and we have found some that are easily adjustable with one hand too.
Goggles are available to order through us in the office - meaning poolside delivery (and saving you pennies on the p...&p). Just email us at blastoff@waterbabies.co.uk or give us a call on 01206 841126 and we'll be happy to help.
Alternatively you can buy them online www.waterbabies.co.uk/shop/Swim-Accessori es

We've raised over £15,000 in the Tommy’s #splashathon! That could cover the cost of MRI scans at the Tommy’s Hypertension in Pregnancy Clinic. Hypertension, or high blood pressure, affects around 5% of pregnancies and has risks for both mother and baby. By studying the placenta with an MRI scan, Tommy’s can identify which women are at high risk of complications, helping to ensure they receive the right level of care. There's still time to help us hit our target of £35,000, to donate click here; www.vmgiving.co/splashLN #waterbabies #peppapig #savingbabieslives #splashingtosavebabieslives #pirates #princesses

We still need your help in making the Government take the future of our children seriously.

Our children are at risk of becoming the least healthy adult population in living memory. 21st Century childhood comes with numerous impacts to a healthy lifestyle, such as decreasing levels of physical activity due to the influence of screen time.
Follow the link to tune in to our Managing Director, Steve Franks talk with parenting expert Sue Atkins about the broad range of issues surrounding the health and well being of the next generation of young people.

Our teachers really are at the heart of what we do, and we want to shout about why they're so amazing. Every teacher has a unique story, just like Suzette...
Beginning her career in hospitality, Suzette supervised restaurants and bars all over London. Shortly after meeting her husband they both agreed that they were through with the hustle and bustle of city-life.
For a complete change of pace, they decided to embark on an adventure and live on a boat for six months. Fallin...g pregnant shortly after with her son, Tate, the young couple swapped their boat-home for a small flat on dry land.
“After a few weeks I started to feel really low and being at home so much didn't help.” Feeling claustrophobic in her bedsit with time on her hands, Suzette leaped at the opportunity to attend a Water Babies class when her mum gifted her first term. A few days later, Suzette was in her first lesson and hit the jackpot with her group, “soon I was meeting up for play dates, coffee, drinks etc with my new friends.”
When her husband found a new job in Southampton, Suzette had to move classes. After hearing that they were hiring teachers, she wasted no time at all to apply.
“I knew straight away this was something for me. I have always had a great love for the water and for children.”
After completing an intense but thoroughly rewarding training program to become a Water Babies teacher, Suzette began leading classes of her own.
“The fact that I am teaching babies a massively important life skill and bring joy and fun to the parents fills me with great pleasure. In a way, Water Babies saved me and now I am passing it forward to other families.”

🏅 Certificates are still being presented to our fantastic swimmers. Orianna has achieved her Swim England Level 1!
Mum says: 'Orianna started swimming with Water Babies at 3 months old and now she is 2 years and 8 months and has just got her first Swim England badge and is currently on chapter 10. Orianna absolutely loves it. She lights up when I say we are going swimming and she enjoys every moment. She is obsessed with swimming under the water and loves singing the songs that Kate sings. Her water confidence is amazing which is exactly what I was hoping for. Both myself and Orianna would highly recommend Water Babies. We both love it and I'm so proud of her ☺'
We're super proud too! 🤩

And if you already swim with us, remember you'll get a lesson free for any friends you recommend who book on! So share away and just make sure they mention your name when they call.
We ask all our toddlers and pre-schoolers to come into lessons accompanied by a p...arent or carer - that means they get all the support and reassurance they need to quickly build their confidence in the water, and you both get to have lots of fun helping them do it!
If you'd like to find out more about our lesson availability give us a call on 0161 928 6385 or send us an email to 123swim@waterbabies.co.uk with a few details about your child's age and experience in the water.

We have another #teacherfeature, and today it's the super Quyen telling us about why we teach safe entries and exits...
✨ SAFE ENTRIES & EXITS ✨
My favourite activities to teach are safe entries and exits because there are so many transferable skills within these activities and it beautifully showcases how AWESOME my Little Superstars are and how much they can accomplish.

Today's #teacherfeature comes from the fabulous Mairead, and she tells us why she loves teaching jumping in so much...
💦JUMPING IN💦
I adore this skill as it really shows the growth in confidence a little one has. The pure joy on their faces is priceless (along with the amazement on their grown ups face ) and it’s usually followed by ‘again again!’ Even the most timid swimmer can start with a ‘Name Are you ready splash’ off their bottom into the pool and progress to a standing... jump. The safety element of this skill is also why I love it as we are teaching our little ones from such a young age to put their toes on the edge and jump forward into the water to avoid any collisions with the pool side. Even if it’s a belly flop to begin with the more splash it creates to soak us teachers and their grown ups the better. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
To progress this skill we use the hoop which encourages our little ones to jump feet first into the water (and move away from a belly flop as fun as they are!!!🤣) through the hoop then add their kicking legs to get back up to the surface. Kicking in a vertical position is great practice for the treading water skill when they are older too. Everything we do has a reason behind it and a further progression so our little ones are challenged age appropriately even the skills that may appear pure fun there is a learning aim behind them which is why our swimmers are the best!!! 💙🧡

Did you know you can burn up to 300 calories in a Water Babies lesson? So, it's not only a great work out for your babies muscles - improving their strength, balance and coordination - it's also a great work out for grown-ups too! 💪💪💪💪
It can be a fantastic way for mums to get active in the early days after having a baby, with minimal impact on your joints while they are recovering from pregnancy.
And what better way to work out than while bonding with your little one and te...aching them a skill for life?

🍁💦 SPLASH INTO AUTUMN!
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 their wishes, and we al...ways 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!
💦 10 weeks of fun, progressive swimming lessons with our world class instructors.
💦 A FREE place on our professional underwater photo shoot sitting on Sunday 18th 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.
💦 A fab cloth badge at the end of each chapter to mark your little ones achievements, ready to sew onto their swimming towels!

Come on England - you have got this!
We believe in you our wonderful England Team and are so proud you have come this far. Like we say to our swimmers, all you can do is your best. Go give it your best shot!

Would totally recommend Water Babies.. My oldest son has absolutely loved going, even carried on through water wobbles... We have now finished but will hopefully be able to come back with my youngest ÔøΩ.

Well worth the money, super teachers, they really go at your pace and make sure your babies are enjoying themselves whilst pushing you just the right amount. So glad I did the course with my little boy, he's been going for almost 2 years now and is really confident in water, as well as having a really good time at lessons.

We started Water Babies with our little man when he was just 12 weeks old. He is now 14 months old and has definitely become a water baby! He is a true lover of water and because of water babies, and our amazing instructor Jacqueline, he has such a lovely confidence with it! Thank you Water Babies!

We love our water babies class every week. Worth every penny. We started with our baby girl at 5 weeks old. She is now 5 months and is a true water baby.

We love our swimming lessons with Water Babies, lots of fun from start to finish! Surfing with Bubba the whale is a highlight for my little girl ÔøΩÔøΩ

We love Water Babies! Ollie is so confident in the water and loves his lessons ÔøΩ

We have just finished chapter 2. My little boy looks forward to getting in the pool every week. He loves learning new things each week, the songs, the smiles, the splashes. It makes us want to come every week & not miss a thing. Not only do we learn safety & how to swim, we also have so much fun! (Me & him!) if you are thinking about it, deffo give it a go, you will love it! :)

We had our first lesson Sunday and I couldn’t stop talking about it all day so much fun my little boy was so happy was lovely can’t wait to see the progress ��

Water babies is fantastic. All the teachers we have had are great, Anna, Sadie, Leanne, Mandy and Sarah. My son has always loved it and three years on still does can't get him to come up for air..he thinks he's a fish. My daughters not so keen on going under the water, but both love the wobble wobble board.

Second load of classes and Hamilton is a true water baby, he loves every second in the water! Fantastic staff who understand the importance of learning and fun. Can't recommend enough!!

My girl has come so far since her first session at water babies Kings Lynn. It's the best thing I've ever done with her. Xx

Love waterbabies the confidence it has given my first son has been amazing, it shows in the water and out. Now both our boys look forward to their lessons!!

I would just like to say that Bow and I have absolutely loved our first chapter of water babies with our lovely teacher Kat we can't wait to start chapter 2...... I cannot recommend water babies enough.... Just fantastic xxx

I cannot recommend water babies enough!! We have had nothing but support from the girls in the office, to the team teaching in the pool. They have been extremly flexible with us when our little boy was poorly. Our little boy loves these classes, he has grown in confidence and its not only in the water. We both look foward to our class each week! His swimming has improved leaps and bounds since he first started! I would highly recommend!

I can't recommend Water Babies highly enough. Buddy joined at 4 months old and has just started Chapter3. It's great seeing him learn and development, he's like a little fish and absolutely loves being in the water! ÔøΩ

Excellent course my little boy is just under 7 months old and has recently completed his beginner course. He is so confident in the water now and learnt so much during the course. It also gave me so much more confidence when in the pool with my baby and thought me what my baby can achieve if I'm not scared.

Can't recommend enough great for adults to to gain confidence in the water with their little one as well we did lessons for our first and will be going back for number 2 as well x

Been swimming our son since he was 8 weeks old. Now at the stage where he swims underwater and is holding on the side of the pool and moving himself along unaided at 19 months. We love our lessons because they are jam packed with songs, skills and general fun! Would recommend over anywhere else.

We first started lessons with Waterbabies when our daughter was four months old and she has just turned 6! She is doing very well in her swimming lessons now and I know it is all down the confidence and skills gained from Waterbabies from such a young age! My eldest son followed suit starting his lessons when he was 6 months and also loves swimming just as much and swims with great confidence, beyond his years! We are currently still doing lessons with my 2 year old who also looks forward to his swimming lessons each week and has the grounding to continue to do just as well in the future as his siblings! With baby number 4 due in a few months there is no doubt he or she will be doing Waterbabies and follow in their footsteps! These lessons really do provide the best start for creating future swimmers with much more confidence and many more skills than their peers.

We did our first Water Babies class last week when P was just seven weeks old. We felt very safe throughout the session and I was very pleased with how quickly the babies were introduced to swimming underwAter and how naturally they all took to it. She slept very well afterwards!

Very incredible me and my daughter enjoy it a lot. She's very happy when we get there. Can't wait for every lessons.

Really enjoyed our trial at water babies last week. I came away from the class remembering everything we had learnt and am looking forward to practising the skills over the holidays before we start our water babies journey next term. Really enjoyed the easy to learn songs and all the important swim cues we were taught. The changing rooms were really warm too so baby was happy when he got out of the pool. Thanks water babies.

Really enjoyed our 1st lesson this week! Looking forward to next week! Was amazing to see kellan go under water for the 1st time

Raheem would like to say a massive thank you to Jenna, you've been amazing for our chapter 1 and you'll be missed! Thank you for making learning to swimming so much fun and all the best for you and your family xx

Noah and I r having so much fun at our classes. Jenny is an amazing teacher It's a lovely feeling seeing Noah so happy and making lots of new friends He doesn't stop splashing from the moment we get in until the moment we get out!

My son loves swimming with Water Babies. The teachers are fun and engaging and my son is always excited about going to see our teacher, Becks. He is almost two and a very confident swimmer, he can swim to the edge of the pool and climb out unaided which is a fantastic skill to have learnt.

My four year old is a better swimmer than his dad now because of water babies and now going with my baby, its a lovely way to spend time with him and we both have so much fun! Worth every penny

My daughter started swimming with Water Babies when she was around 7 months old and she 'graduated' with them when she was around 4 years old. It was an amazing experience for her and for me and we always enjoyed the classes; the instructors we had during that time were always friendly yet professional, and it was a joy to watch my daughter's love of swimming develop. My son started when he was around 7 months old as well and is about to finish his last term before he 'graduates' at the age of almost 4 years old. My son started off very reluctant to go underwater and would cry if he even thought he was going to be held by the instructor. Thanks to their patience and support he quickly moved passed this and now prefers to spend all of his time underwater and loves his instructor! Both of my kids love the water and swimming and are continuing their swimming lessons with 'big kid' classes. It has been a great experience overall and the skills that they have learned will be with them for the rest of their lives. Thank you to Water Babies and their instructors - AND to the office staff who also have always been helpful! Sincerely, Don D.

Just wanted to say how much me, my partner and my son Ollie enjoy water babies.. I also received my photo shoot photos today and I'm over the moon! Worth every penny X

Just over five years ago, I emailed Bryony to find out how I could become a teacher of my hands-down favourite baby activity - Water Babies! My first water baby, Rufus, is now nine years old, and swims lengths for an hour every Sunday, and his sister Betty isn't far behind him. And my third, Caspar, absolutely loves his weekly swim with Jane.

As well as the pleasure of seeing my own babies progress through Water Babies, I also love teaching. The Water Babies course is brilliant for carefully progressing babies from first splash to swimming properly, turning reflexes into learnt actions. It's a delight!

So from that first class with baby Rufus to now, Water Babies is a big part of my life!

I was so excited to hear all the rave reviews about waterbabies that I had my first daughters name on the waiting list before she was even born. The classes at Church Farm, near Bath didn't disappoint. The special uninterrupted bonding time we had was like no other, I loved the skin to skin contact, songs and I was totally in awe of my young baby kicking and swimming freely towards me. The way that she progressed through our waterbabies journey until she was nearly 4 was just amazing! Meanwhile I started waterbabies with my second baby and have only finished a few months ago. I can honestly say in that 6 year period every single lesson we went to was fun, professionally taught and each week felt that we were learning something new. The instructors put each little one at the centre of their planning and it always felt as though we had plenty of 1:1 attention. I am so grateful to that special time we had together and that my two girls have developed a life-long love of swimming and have brilliant safety skills around water. I know I will cherish these memories forever and continue to enjoy our special family time in the water. Now I am teaching my own classes it is a joy to pass on the magical world of waterbabies to others. I am sure you will feel the same.

Finley and I thoroughly enjoyed our time with waterbabies. He would always enter the water with a beaming smile and it was a great way for us to bond. Jackie was very patient, encouraging and supportive through a phase of the 'waterwobbles', and thought of creative ways to distract him from tears when needed! He is very confident in the water now. We also made a few good friends from the class. Thank you waterbabies.

Fantastic swimming classes for babies ran by lovely people. All of our girls are Water Babies!

Excellent from beginning to end! пҝҪпҝҪпҝҪ

Brilliant. Monty loves it, you can clearly see the development in his swimming and Mel has made some great friends in the group not to mention we've got great underwater pictures of Monty to keep.



Couldn't ask for more, thank you Waterbabies.

Bertie and Stanley would like to say a massive thank you to Jenna for being such a caring and fun teacher. Jenna has been with Bertie for a couple of years now. Jenna will be greatly missed but we wish her well for the future.

рҹ’Ұ рҹ’Ұ Rowan from Water Babies Devon & Somerset shares her top tips for summer water safety:
On holiday we should be relaxing and having fun. But as parents we can never truly switch off. Sunny weather on holiday, and even time spent in the garden at home, increase childrenвҖҷs interaction with water whether itвҖҷs a pool, the sea or just a paddling pool. Drowning is sadly the second highest cause of accidental deaths of children under five. Children can drown in water as shallow ...as 5cm, so supervision and thinking about ways to minimise risk are important in the summer.
So, here are my 5 top tips for summer water safety: 1пёҸвғЈпёҸ On holiday check the water safety risks. Is there a pool, hot tub or stream? Is there secure fencing and childproof gates to block unsupervised access by little people? пёҸ2пёҸвғЈ When at the pool or beach donвҖҷt assume that lifeguards will spot everything. They are human and when things are busy they wonвҖҷt be able to keep an eye on everyone. Parents should it in turns to stay sober and vigilant. пёҸ3пёҸвғЈ The beach is more dangerous than it looks! When it is windy or currents are strong inflatable airbeds and little dinghies can get blown out to sea quickly. Always stay with your little ones at the waterвҖҷs edge as big waves can easily knock them over. пёҸ4пёҸвғЈ At home it is great fun to get the paddling pool out but never leave children in or near a paddling pool unattended and always empty it at the end of the day. пёҸ5пёҸвғЈ When visiting friends or family for a party or BBQ check for water hazards like ponds and pools and make sure your little one doesnвҖҷt wander around unsupervised.

We've been going to water babies since my little man was 8 weeks old. It's a wonderful time for just us, it's our mother and son day of the week and I'm so please with the whole experience. We've had out ups and downs when it comes to the wobbles but we have stuck with it and he's now going to be 3 in a few months and has started to swim on a woggle by himself. We also have the most beautiful underwater photo hanging pride of place on our lounge wall too.

Highly recommended, especially Hannah's pool at Seale Haine!!!

We love water babies, started when my lo was 9 wks old as I didn't want her afraid of water like her sister, was only going to do 1 term but we are booked onto the next and hope to go until she can't go anymore, best thing we ever did

We just had our first lesson with Kirsty and we loved it. I was nervous to take Alice swimming but straight away Kirsty made us feel comfortable and it was really enjoyable! Already looking forward to the rest of the term!

We have just finished our 1st chapter with Lorraine at the Brainwave centre and we all love it! Best baby activity we do by miles. We initially were only going to do the first chapter as we thought it was quite expensive however we have just signed up to do the 2nd chapter. You can't put a price on your child being safe, confident and happy in the water!! A bonus, we just received our 2 photos from the underwater photo shoot and we are totally over the moon with them! Special moment captured in time xxx

We have had an amazing water-babies journey, my 3yr daughter is super confident in the water and has learned some seriously good safety skills. Going to miss it and Ro Ro thank goddess I'm doing it all again with my second daughter xx

We have been coming to Waterbabies for over 5 years now and it is the best activity we have could have ever done for our children. Our 5 year old can swim the length of a pool without armbands, our 2 year old is so confident in the pool and our 4.5 month old is loving her lessons! All our teachers have been excellent and we would highly recommend WB to anyone :)

We are loving water babies. Its great to see my little boy enjoying it so much. Can't wait for the next chapter. пҝҪ

We are coming to the end of our first term and already looking forward to the next! Travis is loving the water and very confident with submersions. We go to WESC in Exeter on a Saturday and the teacher, Jess, is amazing!! We also had our underwater photo shoot today...the pictures are brilliant пҝҪпҝҪпҝҪ

Water babies is by far the best activity I have chosen for my daughter, with too many benefits to list! Initially I was put off by the expense, but now we are moving onto Chapter 5 and it's worth every penny! Lorraine is a fantastic teacher!!

Today was the end of our Water Babies journey пҝҪ we started when our daughter was 12 weeks old, she is now 4 and the confidence and love she has for the water wouldnвҖҷt have been possible without the amazing weekly lessons with Lorraine & Aimee, thank you for your amazing work, we will miss our Saturday morning swimming пҝҪпҝҪ

Our daughter completed chapter 1 a couple weeks ago at Hannah's Seale Hayne with the help of Jo our swimming teacher. We would like to thank her for all the hard work she puts into making her lessons fun and easy to learn. We're looking forward to joining you in the pool for the start of Chapter 2 today! Gary, Kelly and Daisy xxx

Ollie has been swimming with Water Babies for over 2 years now and we both looked forward to getting in to the pool every weekend!! Ollie now has so much confidence in the water, far more than other children of his age. Swimming from such a young age has not only helped develop him inside the pool but outside the pool too! We will miss our weekly swims with you and highly recommend everyone else to give Water Babies a try. We have been taught by Aisha and Rowan over the last 2 and a bit years and I cannot thank you both enough for the life saving skills Ollie now has! Xxx

My son Ethan and I have just completed our 1st chapter at The Flamingo Pool with Lee. The difference we have seen in Ethan is amazing, he adores his time in the water and improves every week, it's by far the best activity we do.

People are always complimenting us on his confidence when they see us in the pool in our own time too

Thank you Lee пҝҪ

Jack and I have really enjoyed the last 3 and a half years we have been doing Waterbabies. Jack is so confident in the water. Jade and Rowan have been amazing teachers. He is sorry to have to say goodbye but I can't wait to start again in September with my 4 month old Daughter, Melody. Well worth the money. I couldn't recommend it more.

Harry was only 7 weeks when we did his first lesson and he absolutely loves going and I find it a great time to bond with him in an enjoyable fun environment and love seeing him get more confident in the water each week. Looking forward to booking him up for the next term

Fantastic classes, the best thing we have done with our three girls.

Despite Jacks constant water wobbles, every swimming instructor Jack has had has tried their very best to make him feel confident and calm. He does tend to do his own thing a little but it doesn't matter because it's such a lovely relaxed atmosphere! Now people are amazed when they see him in the water as he is so happy and would stay in there all day if he could. He has been going for 18 months & his baby sister will start soon! Highly recommended & a lovely lovely team! Thank you Waterbabies!

Absolutely amazing. I do water babies with both my boys, one started as a baby and the other at 20 months. Although my eldest was slightly behind others, due to not having completed baby lessons, after 2 weeks he was able to hold onto the side of the pool and get out of the pool by himself. I've also noticed a growing confidence especially in the bath. All i hear all week is "swim", "splash". Definitely recommend it to anyone, and it's never too late to join.

Absolutely amazing classes ! My little girl loves them ! It's working on her confidence and mine with her in the water aswell !We love Jessy ! So happy we are taking part in water babies ! One of the best choices we could have made

Meet Fearne, at 3 years 6months she is confidently pushing off from the side and swimming on her back, one of her favourite tasks is to dive down to collect a sinking seal from the bottom of the pool. Water confidence that has come from her Mum Carly bringing her to Water Babies at a young age.

For every life created, for every pregnancy supported, for every premature baby nursed, every baby delivered and every mother looked after - we‚Äôre proud to support the NHS at Water Babies Tees Valley ‚̧ԳŹ‚̧ԳŹ #proud #NHS70

We started at water babies when Charlie was 5 weeks old and we’ve just finished chapter one, about to start chapter two next week. I love water Babies and I can’t recommend it enough !! Water babies is the only thing we do which I look forward to every week. The sessions are amazing in every way; being fun, good for baby and the teacher is lovely. The teacher always puts the babies interests first and we do new things each week. Charlie’s behaviour in the water has changed over the weeks, now being a lot calmer and content in and under the water. Water babies has given me so much confidence for swimming with my baby, doing things I’d never dare do without them or think about doing without them! It’s has been and is a really important part of

Charlie’s first few months that I’d never change! X

We have just started chapter 16 and have had the amazing Nicki from the beginning, Nicki is a fantastic teacher and knows exactly when to push Louie that little bit more and knows when he has reached his limit. Louie is so confident in the water and every week he tells me that he has had fun. We will miss not having Nicki as our teacher and hope to see her soon

We have been swimming with water babies since 2012, we started with my eldest daughter and couldn’t wait to sign our youngest up as soon as we could. Today was my youngest daughters last lesson and i am truly heartbroken at the thought of leaving waterbabies behind. Both my girls have left water babies so confident in the water, and water safety is ways on their minds, which is why we signed up in the first place. The teachers are amazing and friendly. We have all thoroughly enjoyed our swimming journey and we will be sad not to be apart of the water babies family x

Today the first words my son said when he woke up this morning were 'I'm going swimming on Sunday, I want to see Delsa .......and bubba' words we never thought we would hear after going through the wobbles last summer which lasted a few months.

The last 6 months Jacob has gained so much confidence and is really enjoying going to water babies again after lots of support and encouragement from our water babies instructor Delsa.

He's met lots of new friends and he loves his Sunday morning routine.

For anyone who's child is going though the wobbles, stick with it, it's definitely worth it in the long run.

Big thank you to Delsa for making our lessons enjoyable and working with Jacob to help regain his confidence in the water! And also thank you carolyn for the advice.

Teddy has just completed his first chapter at WB Sporting lodge and we have LOVED IT!!

Nicky (aka Aunty Nicky) our instructor has been excellent and it‚Äôs amazing to see how far all the babies have come from week 1 to now! I can‚Äôt wait to start the next chapter with Ted ÔŅĹ I would recommend to all Mums to definitely get booked on and watch their little waterbabies develop!

Our little boy started water babies when he was 12 weeks at high tunstall with Debbie as his teacher. After initially saying we were only doing 10 weeks, 4 years later and Ethan has graduated after completing the full water babies course.

It has not been an easy journey, we have encountered many episodes of the water wobbles but without the patients and support from Debbie Ethan would not have the water skills he has today. Ethan is not the most confident swimmer but loves his lessons and Debbie always made Ethan feel confident by adapting the skill to Ethan's level and ability. We are looking forward to the next chapter in our swimming progress with another swim school, however continue to see the lovely Debbie as she has been teaching our 19 month little girl since she was 10-12 weeks.

All I have left to say is THANK YOU water babies (Debbie Webb) for your patients and giving Ethan (and Harriet) the best start to their swimming skills xx keep up the good work xx

Our daughter has been going to Water Babies from being 12 weeks old - she is now 2 and still loving every lesson!! We were advised to use a warm water pool with her being slightly younger and this was definitely great advice! I have never been a confident swimmer and wanted to make sure that Rumer was - her confidence in the pool is amazing. I feel this is down to the way in which they are taught the same safety skills over and over to make sure that they remember them along with the new things they are learning week on week! The little songs and rhymes used to aid our little people are also fun and interactive!



Rumer has a fantastic relationship with her teacher Melissa and her lovely little swimming buddies!!! Some may think it's a bit expensive but we feel it's worth every penny! She may not end up being an Olympic swimmer but she definitely knows how to be safe in the pool, even at this early age!



I'm so pleased that we still have a couple of years left to go and like others, we'll be so sad when her time comes to leave x

Onto our 4th chapter with our little water baby Albie he loves it and has given us confidence to take him on holiday from doing these lessons. I would recomend water babies to anyone to gain knowledge and confidence how to handle your baby in the water. The teachers are fantastic.

My little girl is on her 4th term and I can't believe how far she's come, she loves water babies, even singing the tunes in the car on our way gets her excited, she's so confident in water, she's never cried once! But it's not just about the fun it's about piece of mind, knowing it's teaching her how to be safe in water, it's not only made her a happy confident baby but it's help me over come some fear of going under the water too! Thank you water babies... also we love delsa xxx

My little boy has just completed Chapter 17 and I can honestly say that we’ve had the most amazing time. His teacher Melissa has been just fantastic! She helped us through water wobbles, and patiently and professionally guided my son week by week to do more and more. He’s now so confident in the water and it’s all down to Melissa’s support and encouragement.

My daughter and I are just coming to the end of our first chapter at waterbabies and are very much looking forward to the next chapter. Harriet was 8 weeks old when she started at High Tunstall hydro pool and I can’t believe the progress she has made. Carolyn, our swimming teacher, has been extremely supportive throughout our first chapter and has made me feel at ease when releasing Harriet under the water. At times I have felt very nervous but I am so pleased and thankful to Carolyn for her encouraging words - I didn’t realise someone so small could achieve so much. We have created lots of fantastic memories and are looking forward to making many more.

My daughter Vienna has just finished a 5 week block with water babies at total fitness. She started when she was 11 weeks old. Her first lesson she was a bit unsure and cried quite a lot! The instructor Nicki at water babies reassured me to keep carrying on and not be put off and so I did. I am over the moon she kept reassuring me because the difference in Vienna after 5 weeks is amazing. She's so confident in the water and is smiling away. We would recommend to everyone to start water babies and we can't wait to start more classes! Thank you so much.

Max started at water babies when he was about 12 weeks old and had Debbie as his teacher throughout his entire water babies journey. He just graduated on Saturday at 3 1/2 years old and he is so confident in the ÔŅĹ and most importantly can swim!!!It was like a little family that you met up with every Saturday, everyone was friendly and all of the kids got on so well. We have made some very special friends and I honestly don't know what we will do with our Saturdays anymore. We will miss water babies and even more so we will miss Debbie. Max and Debbie had a special bond and it was emotional having to say goodbye. If you are thinking twice about sending your little one then don't! It was worth every penny and more!!!I cannot thank Debbie Webb enough for everything she has done for us ÔŅĹÔŅĹ

I've been with water babies since my son was 8 weeks old he's now 2 and we absolutely love it!! Chapter 8 and 9 however wasn't our best, Archie had a major case of the wobbles to the point that I thought our water babies journey was over but Laura encouraged Archie each week and let him go at his own pace. Chapter 10 was our turning point, his confidence is unreal and such a pleasure to see. People comment on his swimming and confidence when we take him swimming outside of our lesson. I am so glad we stuck with it and got through the wobbles because he really has come out the other side better than I ever would of expected. I would recommend water babies to everyone.

I love water babies, it's really giving us the confidence to take our lil baba swimming. The instructor is very patient and reassuring throughout. Our lil girl was only 8 weeks when we started and once I learnt to stop looking so worried she really enjoyed it. Really would recommend everyone to let their little baby experience swimming in this safe environment.

I have been taking my daughter Lyla to waterbabies since she was 5 months old, she is about to turn 3 in 2 weeks. I can honestly say it's the best thing I have ever done she loves every minute of it and doesn't want to get out of the water.

Her teacher Melissa is amazing, so understanding to each child's needs and is always so welcoming, she's made our waterbabies adventure such a special and happy time , especially during lylas little wobbles she hasn't always enjoyed it.

I even thought about quitting about 2 terms ago as she kept getting upset, but melissa guided us though and encouraged lyla and me to keep going and I am so glad we did she is a brilliant little swimmer now so confident and wants to swim on her own with little help for me ( of which I didn't think would ever happen especially during the water wobbles as she was always clung to my neck! )

Friday mornings are the highlight of our week watching lyla progress, seeing her so happy and confident learning a life skill.

Thank you Rachael and lyla ÔŅĹ

I have been taking my children to waterbabies since the were 12 wks old. My little boy went every week till after he turned 4 and my little girl is still going weekly at 18mth. I can honestly say it is one of the best things we have done with them. They are both extremely confident in the water and love every minute of it. And it is the best bonding time for parents and children. It makes holidays a pleasure as we know that they will play happily in the water all day long if we let them. Thank you to Angela. She is amazing.

I can‚Äôt rave about waterbabies enough! It‚Äôs absolutely brilliant and only 8 weeks into it I can see how much confidence it has given my baby, he started from 5 weeks and when I took him to a public swimming pool yesterday I noticed the difference in him compared to older children splashing about and crying! Everyone who has a baby should do this ÔŅĹ

Absolutely loved our time with waterbabies, Debs is an amazing teacher, so friendly and patient with the babies. Eli has done four chapters and after our first holiday abroad makes it all worth while as he has no fear of the water what so ever. Couldn't recommend enough. Happy swimming.
