Really amazing experience for both baby and mum. The instructor was very adaptive to each baby and would modify any of the swims in case a baby was crying or if the mum wasn't comfortable (e.g. going underwater). It was just too expensive for me to continue
We LOVE waterbabies! My wee one is absolutely loving the classes and is so confident and happy in the water at 7 months old!
We have been taking our little one to water babies for the last few months since she was 4 months old. Due to commitments we also ended up changing days and a couple of times we were unable to make it, and water babies has been terrific and extremely accomodating, and they don't just give you a blanket "no, you have paid for it and if you miss it you miss it", they have always given us options on terms of catch up or refunds - they are definitely not the cheapest option, esp the photo shoot and the price of photos is definitely very expensive, however I will still give them 5 stars as they were definitely not pushy for sales and it's just emails which I find extremely easy to deal with. All the staff are very friendly and brilliant and we love going to the sessions.
Excellent classes
Water babies lessons are great, and my little girl loves them too. We’ve been to lessons elsewhere before and the difference is astronomical. I used to dread going to our old place as everything about it was so stressful, the parking, the getting changed before and after, trying to find a changing room and all to come out and feeling like neither of us learned anything. But I can’t explain how much I look forward our water babies lessons, everything is made easy and I come out feeling so satisfied that my baby and me are learning.
I really enjoy the lessons progressing and changing each week, allowing me to see my little one learn new skills. The instructors all have been lovely and informative. With a great focus on safety. Elise, who we normally have, has been great, she is patient and takes time to explain new skills, and the babies respond well to her. My little girl loves her lessons. Only down side has been a few lessons being cancelled, including fairly last minute cancellations. Thankfully these are made up for and their website is easy to use to track the lessons and skills we’re working on. It’s also slightly more expensive than other options for swimming lessons around, but has a great focus on using repetitive and clear instructions (I.e. name, are you ready… go!) to help you little ones know what to do if they ever fell in a pool.
We are very happy with our classes, the instructor is very friendly and the class structure is fun. My daughter really enjoys and she has made so much progress.
Our daughter absolutely LOVES swimming classes with Claire. People can't believe it when our 1 year old happily does underwater dives, etc! Would recommend to anyone who wants to improve their children's confidence in the water, from any age.
Teachers are really supportive. Lots of fun games, length of the lesson feels right. They have some songs which makes the lessons feel age appropriate. My son is a little nervous in the water and they're always great with him.
I’ve learned a lot in a short time, and I’m having lots of fun!
The best swim school! Wouldn’t go anywhere else.
It’s amazing! Gives the kids so much confidence & the parents either how to cope with them in water. Staff are all amazing!
Our swimming teacher Jenny is really amazing she is also great with the children and we love her classes. The pool is always nice and warm, but the changing area is not so great since they no longer have the poolside assistant and they is no seating area for putting on shoes
Amazing I love the water confidence my daughter is getting and she absolutely loves her class
My baby loves the lessons and instructors. Lovely pool and small class sizes. His water confidence grows ever week and seeing his progression from unsure of water to going under water completely unfazed has been fantastic.
The whole team has been welcoming and caring which has given us confidence from the beginning. My son was 4.5months when we started and he’s loved every class. It links in well with our other activities with crossovers of songs and signing so it’s so much more than swimming.
Professional amazing beautiful experience. Safety on the first place. Emma is swimming with Water babies since she was 4 months old. Today is her 2nd birthday and her excitement never changed! Strongly recommend 🌸
We absolutely love our sessions and look forward to them all week! My daughter is only 5 months old and loves the session and would stay in the pool all day if she could! John is our instructor who is very knowledgeable and is an excellent teacher! He has built both mine and my daughters confident in the water! The classes are only small which are perfect! We love our sessions!
