St Michaels House review
Our daughter has been part of Waterbabies since she was 6 months old in St Michaels House swimming pool since Jan 2023. We started with Jean as our teacher and then we have been with Sandra over the past number of years. Her kindness, dedication, energy and patience whilst teaching along with her obvious unending joy at teaching our class is truly remarkable! We love it and our class is always the highlight of the week for us as a family. Our daughter only has a few chapters left but her progress and her swimming ability is phenomonal as each chapter passes and builds on the next! Highly highly recommend our Waterbabies experience!

Highly recommend Waterbabies
Absolutely love our swimming sessions! Our teacher Chiara is amazing! The only thing that keeps it from being 5 stars is the lack of availability for catch up classes. Unfortunately most classes are full so I understand but it would be great to have more variety for a catch up classes!
I highly recommend getting your baby into these classes!!

Great motivation from teachers when babies/toddlers are going through stages where they arent enjoying swimming/ certain aspects. Variety to classes stops it feeling repetitive
