Great teachers!

Kathrin has been an amazing teacher for the last year... Very friendly and engaging with the children and able to lead the lesson so that all the children get to improve and have a good time.

Excellent introduction to water no matter how young your baby

The swim instructors are fantastic, we had 2 in our time with water babies. From our first lesson when my little one was 6 weeks old to my last session when she was 8 months old. They were kind, helpful & most of all kept us safe in the water whilst having fun and bonding with our babies. It definitely helped my confidence & my little one has always loved the water & isn't scared at all. The only reason for 1 star short of 5 was the venue, because it is a private school it wasn't catered for the usual public swimming. So the changing facilities weren't set up with cubicles, showers, changing tables for babies etc. However, it was very local for us, so we were happy to compromise on this. We could have had lessons further afield with a more formal changing facility but this wasn't practical for us to travel.

Toria the waterbabies instructor at jethen house is absolutely amazing!! She goes above and beyond to make parents and children feel comfortable, supported and heard. Nothing is too much trouble and any concerns you have regarding swimming with your little one is always taken into consideration and the support you didnt even know you needed is alway's given to make you feel confident and ready to swim with you baby. You can really tell the passion she has for waterbabies not only as an instructor but also as a parent who has been through it twice. Im so so glad I chose waterbabies and im so so glad we were put into Torias class.

Progressive and fun

Lessons are progressive and so much fun for me and my daughter. We have been attending since she was 12 weeks old and have no intentions to stop. The confidence gained in just 14 weeks is incredible. Lessons do tend to run late meaning we start later than expected, and this obviously will happen when dealing with children! but I have noticed that our session is occasionally cut five minutes short which is disappointing considering each session is over £20 for half hour.

Baby swimming is so fun and important we love it

Love the lessons for my 10 month old, they're fun as well as informative and instilling great health and safety practices - he's been going since he was 5 months and has grown his confidence in the water, he hated going under water at first but now enjoys it so much. We went on holiday recently and he loved being in the pool and we used a lot of the swimming techniques we learnt in the lessons. I think that swimming for babies is so important, our 4 year old did water babies for 3 years and is now already swimming on his own and ahead of his peers in his current swimming lessons.

A* - 2 years with Water Babies... Still loving every minute

We have been swimming with Water Babies for over 2 years and we love every minute of our lessons. The lessons are the perfect length for my son to get the most out of his lesson - learning new skills, mastering and practicing others. 30 minutes is the right length before he gets tired and hungry. Swimming works up a big appetite for our water babies. We love how inclusive and individual our lessons are and how well supported I feel as a first time mum while in the pool.

Great

Great! My daughter’s been going to water babies since she was 12 weeks old. She’s 2 1/2 now. And the team have supported us through the difficult “koala” “no I don’t want to” times. Thanks to Jon at Victoria School. Plus super helpful team when dealing with queries.

Teacher is always really engaged and pool facilities mean it’s never been stressful to get changed. I miss the old structure of levels before the islands and characters

I can’t recommend water babies and Debi enough. We started when my little girl was 8 weeks old and over a year on her confidence in the water has continued to grow. She absolutely loves to go swimming and has already started to learn the key skills required to be safe in the water. The equipment used is fantastic and we have purchased most of the items to continue to use when we are swimming and to use in the bath.
