Emma is brilliant and so patient with my daughter whilst she’s getting familiar with swimming. We both enjoy going and it’s so good for little ones safety

I enjoy the lessons and so does Ernie. They are a good pace, not too slow. We can see how he is getting more comfortable in the water and he is starting to respond to the commands.

Brilliant teacher, my little one has learnt so much and is so much more confident in the water.

Amie is a fantastic teacher so easy to understand and follow x

We are really loving pur WB experience. We started our son at 8 weeks old and our teacher Charlene has given us so much confidence each week. The lesson is always fun, thorough and on time, and if you need an adaptation it is always considered.
We will be continuing swimming lessons because of this and I am a big advocate for this as an important life skill too.

The sessions are really tailored well, water safety is a key lesson a lot of babies/children would miss out on so we love that about water babies. The sessions are fun interactive and build confidence which is important.

Water babies is amazing!!
My little one has been a water babies baby since 6months, now 3y7m, we have had a few water wobbles along our journey and I cannot praise his instructor, Jackie, enough, she has been so patient with us and tried different angles and adapting things to keep the progress going! We have come through it all and can see such incredible progress and it’s all down to Jackie!!
The skills and confidence that is taught with the water babies journey is fantastic and as a nervous swimmer myself has even built my confidence as well as making sure I didn’t pass my nervousness onto my little one!
Very sadly we are coming to the end of our water babies journey, simply due to other commitments, we are going to miss it so much!

Leo really enjoys his swimming lessons and always looks forward to them. Zoe is such a friendly, patient, and encouraging instructor who has helped build his confidence in the water. We’ve seen great progress.

We love going swimming! Lessons are fun and interactive and build on previous lesson’s learning. It is useful that you’re able to swap to another venue if you’re unable to make a swimming lesson although I’ve found booking a catch up one difficult as a few are the same day & time as our usual lesson which is a shame.

We absolutely love our lessons with Water Babies. We have an excellent teacher who really knows her stuff. My eldest is coming to the end of his time at WB and he is so confident in the water now and able to swim on his own

My son is a non-verbal autistic little boy who loves to swim. We booked an underwater photoshoot and the teachers and photographer were absolutely wonderful. They differentiated the shoot to suit his needs and we were able to get some lovely photos!

Our Water Babies swimming instructor is Lorna and we attend sessions at The Oratory Prep School. Lorna is brilliant. A great mix of direct and clear instruction, with good humour and perceptive narrations and adaptability every lesson. I used another company with my son and I'm still undoing the trauma - however my daughter loves being in the water and Lorna has given me the confidence to be a better support for her and we both actually enjoy learning these critical life skills. Thank you Lorna, you're amazing. Must say, the team in the office are always brilliant too, very responsive, helpful and polite xxx

We've been swimming with Water Babies since our daughter was 2 months old (she's now 14 months) and we have loved every second. Swimming lessons and water safety are a non-negotiable for us but Water Babies are so much more than that as our lessons have long been the best part of our daughter's week. She absolutely loves the water and our lessons are definitely the reason for that. In particular our teacher Lue has been incredible with her, she makes lessons fun and is always understanding of unpredictable moods and will always take the time to explain things over again until we understand. Facilities at some locations (our own and where we've attended catch-ups) could definitely be better with some only two babies can get changed at a time which takes a lot longer but this is not the fault of the Water Babies as due to the water temperature, locations are limited. My only real complaint is that our lessons stop over school holiday's but again it's location dependent and not Water Babies fault. We can't recommend Water Babies enough!

Amazing group, the teachers really take time to get to know your child and make the swimming experience the best they can to build their confidence in the water. We’ve had a few different swim teachers due to illness and moving to a different pool, but each teacher is as good as the last. Would 100% recommend to any other parents/ carers who want to get their child/ children into swimming and creating an awareness on water safety!!
