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…
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.

Jackie is the BEST!
What can I say about our classes with WB and especially Jackie, as she is the BEST! I have been coming to WB for some time now for both my girls- older one is 10 and younger will be 4. Sadly we had to say goodbye to Jackie and our lovely class as my little one starts school in September. We always had so much fun and very much looked forward to our Fridays. Although we had some difficulties fitting the time to make sure we have our classes with Jackie we carried on coming to our sessions. She has been an amazing instructor, calm, and very patient. She encouraged both my girls to try hard and have fun at the same time. Jackie has been a big part of the swimming journey for my both girls and I am so so grateful for this. I hope you are lucky to have your class with Jackie, if you choose Waterbabies.

Underwater photoshoot
We had our underwater photoshoot at the beginning of the month and it was such an amazing experience. Everyone involved was clearly trained to a high level and made us feel so at ease with the whole experience. Our photos turned out amazing and it’s a memory I’ll keep forever!

Singing to water safety and confidence
This is the second time I’ve used Water Babies. They use lots of songs to engage the little ones while teaching key water safety skills and confidence.

I would really recommend water babies…
I would really recommend water babies as they have been so helpful with knowing where to start when teaching our son how to swim, he is so confident in the water and loves swimming now as a result. The lessons are expensive but I think worth it for the skills that we've picked up and we have the best time in the lessons themselves. The teachers are fantastic and the office team are also amazing and very responsive if help is ever needed, like booking in catch up lessons.

Worth every penny - just brilliant
We've tried swimming lessons for Poppy (now 7yo) before at the David Lloyd gym we go to, but it was a shambles. Teachers often didn't show up and when they did they didn't pay much attention and made it a chore. This is the polar opposite of Water Babies. Rachel, the teacher, is hands-on, approachable, supportive and - crucially - makes swimming enjoyable and learning fun. Poppy looks forward to her sessions and laughs during them while simultaneously learning to swim sooner. The way Rachel turns learning techniques into games makes them less 'taught' and overly formally structured and instead makes them seem achievable and fun. It being a small group obviously helps this dynamic, but that's another reason why Water Babies is so good. I honestly can't recommend them enough.

Amazing swimming start for the little ones
We’ve been with Water Babies for almost 2 years and my child loves them!! She adores her teacher and has developed some great confidence in the water. Our swimming pool is a spa one so a nice bonus to the parents as well, Would highly recommend Water Babies to everyone who wants their babies develop swimming and water safety skills in a fun and encouraging environment.
