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.

Waterbabies are an absolutely amazing…
Waterbabies are an absolutely amazing company, the teachers are knowledgeable , friendly and brilliant with Kids. There is a key focus on safety but every lesson is always fun! The songs will stick in your head forever though! Jackie and Charlene in particular are just wonderful. I think everyone should choose Waterbabies to teach their children this incredibly important life skill.

Underwater Photoshoot
We had the best time at our first Underwater Photoshoot with our 7month old. He loves his Water Babies lessons and the photoshoot was such a lovley way to celebrate his love for swimming. Everyone was well organised, greeted on the door by a team member and shown where to go. Once it was our turn you were in a lovley small group in the water doing a lesson with a one teacher then you had the dipper and photograoher taken the photos. It was all very chilled and calm and a lovely atmosphere 😊. I would definitely recommend everyone to do a underwater phtotshoot great value for money and a experience not to forgot.

Thank you!
Our son did water babies for years until 7, and now our daughter is enjoying it too. The groups have always been so friendly and child focused. We’ve really enjoyed swimming at city academy. The changing rooms are warm and clean, and the pool is perfect for younger kids.

Really fun & safe way to teach kids swimming
The instructors really engages with the kids, class size not too big and allows some 1-2-1 teaching. The class is both fun and active, this is one of the highlights to the week filled with excitement. Most important aspect, it teaches water safety for the kids.

Pirate theme session
Water babies consistently offer fun, lively and imaginative swimming lessons, which is teaching water safety skills for children while they have the BEST time. Stanley (3yrs) is still talking about his Saturday morning lesson with Gillian “the brilliant pirate”- he loved hunting for treasure and diving for gold coins.

Below average experience so far
Okayish experience so far. The instructor is quite good and friendly and the class seems nice. But, they have cancelled 3/12 classes in the first 3 months, the changing room at my center (Bridge school Islington) doesn't have a functioning shower, the pool water wasn't warm enough for 1 of the classes resulting in my daugher shivering midway through the class, and the class often starts 5-10 minutes late due to previous class overrunning.
