Water Babies Reviews

We have absolutely loved our lessons! Both of my children started between 6 and 12 weeks old. They are now both strong, confident swimmers and they absolutely love the water! The classes are really fun and the teachers are great at engaging them and actually taking time to build a relationship with us which helped my boys build trust and feel secure. It’s a great way to meet people too, I’ve made lots of lovely mum friends through our classes! Would 100% recommend!

Water babies has made my little girl feel so confident in the water - she loves attended her Sunday session. Her teacher Jen is fab and we look forward to it every week.

A Fantastic Experience with Water Babies – From 8 Weeks to 6 Months Old We’ve been attending Water Babies since our daughter was just 8 weeks old – she’s now 6 months – and it’s been an amazing journey so far. The classes are well-structured, engaging, and led by Michelle who is an incredibly supportive instructor who always make us feel welcome and comfortable. It’s been incredible to see our baby grow in confidence in the water. She now splashes, kicks, and smiles through the sessions – and we’ve noticed how much more relaxed she is during bath time too! A big bonus has been the catch-up tokens, which have been a lifesaver when we've had to miss a class due to sickness or holidays. It’s great to know we don’t lose out and can stay on track. Overall, we couldn’t recommend Water Babies enough. It’s a beautiful bonding experience and has given our little one a wonderful, confident start in the water.

We are loving it .. my baby is enjoying every moment in the pool . Ella instructor is fantastic ..

Really enjoyed baby swimming at water babies and especially I’d like to mention our amazing teacher Sam x

Water Babies is a great company to start swimming lessons for your little one. I started swimming with my daughter when she was 2 months and she has loved every single lesson! She earned her first badge and I know these will be a great keepsake for her to look back on as she gets older. She is learning some great water safety skills which is the most important thing to me. Don’t be nervous to take your baby, they are in safe hands with the amazing instructors and you!

We’ve attended the underwater shoot of Water Babies 2 weeks ago and I just received the photos today. All I can say is it is all worth it! My little one enjoyed the shoot itself as they have a set program to keep the babies busy while waiting for their turn. The photos all looked amazing that we cannot pick just one and had to buy the whole album for us to keep and send to our relatives back home. What a great experience and I will surely do this again in the future!

Water Babies is a fantastic team and super friendly, my daughter has been going to their lessons since she was 3 months old and has so much confidence in the water now at 14 months old! The classes are fun and educational and keep the children engaged! Definitely would recommend!

I was quite anxious, as a new mum to start swimming with my little one. He’d been incredibly shy and hadn’t enjoyed baby sensory classes and was worried it would be similar with swimming. However we were greeted by Kelly who was incredibly warm and knowledgable. She put my mind at ease and was brilliant with my little one Arthur. We’ve sadly had to move lessons with me going back to work but wanted to say a huge thank you to Kelly. You are fab.

Just go to the pool and play with your baby. You don’t do much more. Jump of float in parents arms, have parent take you around the pool in different ways and holding different things. From other parents who had been going for 9 months my daughter was doing the same as them who just started. First lesson water babies cancelled, 2nd lesson was just me in the pool with her. Tried cancelling but lost my money because it was past 14 days because of the cancellation of one of their lessons. So I paid right away and that’s when your cancellation policy starts. Emails were not that friendly or understanding. Basically I was expected to cancel before trying it.

My 7 month old and I have been swimming with Water Babies for 3 months now. I couldn’t rate them highly enough.. the staff, the company, its values, the curriculum for swimming and water safety, their commitment to charity and fundraising.. it’s incredible. Joining water babies is the best thing I have done for my baby, would definitely recommend to mums and dads.. My little girl absolutely loves her lessons, we look forward to going in every week

We thoroughly enjoy Waterbabies each week and the instructor is brilliant

Water babies swimming coach has been absolutely brilliant and so friendly. Our child’s confidence has grown so much and she enjoys going. The facilities we use are good however there are not many provisions in place for baby changing which when a large group trying to change together makes it difficult

Excellent. The sessions are brilliant and I can see that Ruby is learning. Ali the swim coach is so good with the kids and with teaching. Her instructions are so clear. Making the experience of teaching a baby basic life skills in the water easier.

I have been taking my Grand -Daughter to Water Babies for 8 sessions now. I have to say initially, I was apprehensive... £19 per session AND I have to get in the pool! Swimming is my least favourite choice of exercise but, that is the force behind getting my Bella to enjoy swimming, with confidence, from an early age. Yes it is pricey but, how easy is it to spend that money on unnecessary purchases, and it is certainly value for money... Bella is 18months old and, despite loving the water, was anxious about getting in and out of the pool & being passed to our fabulous instructor Beth. Beth took the time to get to know Bella personally and soon discovered how to win her over. She is no longer clung to my neck and happily joins in the activities with her new friends... the sessions vary, and utilise familiar songs and nursery rhymes, adapted for the pool activities. The children are taught pool safety habits from the beginning, and class sizes are kept to a manageable level. I love our quality time and cannot believe how confident Bella has become in a matter of a few sessions. I have to admit, I don't actually mind being in the pool either!

Absolutely love the baby swimming classes in Torquay with Hilary on Saturdays! She is an amazing teacher who truly understands both the needs of parents and the little ones. Kate is so patient, kind, and fantastic with the babies — it's clear she has a real passion for what she does. My baby, Logan, is full of smiles every time we go to class, and it’s such a joy to see how comfortable and happy he is in the water. Each session feels safe, fun, and engaging. I highly recommend these classes to any parent looking to introduce their baby to swimming in a supportive and enjoyable environment!

Underwater photoshoot is amazing, the instructors do a normal class set up then one at a time they call the kids to do there underwater swim and photographs, I couldn't pick so had to buy them all and i now plan on doing it annually for progress!

My daughter started Water Babies when she was 6 months old, and it’s been an amazing experience so far! She’s built so much confidence in the water — even underwater — and it’s also a great way to bond with your child. Our teacher, Erica, is fantastic; she really cares about the kids’ development and has helped us a lot to reach the next milestones. I strongly recommend it — plus, it definitely helps with those long naps, haha!

My Son and I loved our sessions together, it was a shame we have to stop them for a while. I'd definitely recommend the sessions he is confident in the water.

If I could rate more stars I would! We had the fantastic opportunity to start water babies lessons in peterborough, with the most amazing instructor Debi. Our little girl Fallon has learnt so many incredible life saving techniques when in the pool, all down to the amazing teaching done by Debi. Debi is so patient and amazing at settling nerves and making everyone, all the babies and adults, comfortable in the water and making it a fun and enjoyable experience for all. I could not recommend water babies enough, and if you’re close enough to peterborough would more than recommend this location! The amount of confidence Debi has installed in our little girl is beyond anything we could imagine. From only 4 months old to nearly 2 years, every Saturday has been an absolutely joy. Debi, we can’t thank you enough for the work you do. You should be incredibly proud of yourself. Thank you water babies for the most amazing, valuable experience you have given us!
