Confident little water baby
My son is nearly 15 months and has been swimming at The Swim Centre since he was 8 weeks old, he absolutely adores his swim teacher Heather and has become so confident in swimming! We are hoping to continue with his swimming lessons for many years yet!

Amazing!
My daughter is 7 and we chose water babies for her, it was honestly the best decision we made! The only thing is that I wish I signed up sooner! So naturally when I was pregnant with my son I booked his classes as soon as possible! He has been going since he was 5 weeks old and honestly it’s amazing! Jackie our swimming instructor is so lovely! Splash at riverside is great as it’s a small pool!

Over 3.5 years of amazingness!
We’ve just finished our lessons after over 3.5 years with Water Babies and have loved it! My daughter has learnt so many skills and her confidence in the water is just amazing! We are due with our second and have decided it’s a non- negotiable that he does swimming lessons with WB!
Over our time we’ve had Kate, Shelley and Esther - and each of them have been amazing! Nurturing, knowledgable and patient and have helped our daughter so much!

We love our weekly sessions!
We love our weekly sessions! Our little boy has been going to Water babies since he was 9 weeks old - he’s 2 now! The lessons are fun and teach him skills without any of us realising. He has come on so much just with one lesson a week. We’ve had a few teachers and they’ve all been amazing. We currently have Kate, and she is brilliant.

Great changing facilities however usual classes been moved venue and cancelling as more of a travel. Teacher could show more enthusiasm given she is working with babies I expected a little more. Also parking can sometimes be an issue.

The teacher tries to engage each…
The teacher tries to engage each student and parent in every lesson. However the class size is too big for such a small lesson meaning that babies often become frustrated or bored. In the short space of time lessons have been cancelled due to lack of coverage which is annoying particularly for planned absences.

We appreciate you sharing your feedback. We have noted your concerns regarding class sizes and the impact this has on engagement, as well as the frustration caused by lesson cancellations. We are currently in the process of training new teachers so that we are able to minimize the disruption to your lessons in future.
