Water Babies

Money machine
Just did one terms of baby classes with Water Babies at Darwin Court. I didn't feel it was worth the money, considering it's one of the most expensive swim schools for children. Here are a few down points: • Darwin court doesn't have parking so you're advised to park on the Lidl parking, which is 5mn walk away. This resulted with us having a £90 fine once for taking too long to get ready at the end of the class • Classes are back to back without break so you have to leave the pool immediately at the end of the class, without a chance to talk to the teacher or ask questions. It feels very impersonal as no chance to get to know the teacher at all. • There's no changing table, and you're asked to change your baby on the floor, on the side of the pool, as changing rooms are supposedly only for the class that's just finished. • It's very hard to find this information but the photoshoot at the end of terms is £175!!! Almost the price of the whole term. They know how parents are eager to have a souvenir photo of their little one underwater and aren't ashamed to rip us off. That's how it feels. I saw other schools where the photoshoot is included! I'll go to these next. However, I give my two stars to the teacher, Amanda. She's very experienced and professional. All the best, Chloe
