Great teachers!

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.

Best introduction to the water
Water babies has been the best first experience of the water for both my girls. I started them in the water at around 3 months and my oldest is now 2 and a half years old and has come on leaps and bounds. She’s has learnt safety skills that she wouldn’t have got anywhere else. Our teacher Lindsey in Swansea is incredible too, she’s so attentive towards the kids and really helps with anything you’re stuck on as a parent or if the kids need extra help.

Would recommend to anyone who wants to start swimming with their babies!
Lynsey is absolutely brilliant, she makes my little boy feel so at ease in the pool and is so enthusiastic with the babies. She also makes the parents comfortable too as it can be daunting for you when you baby does their first underwater swims. Thank you for everything so far and the years to come too!!

Experience has gone downhill
We enjoy the lessons mostly. We felt like the lessons were very structured and felt like we were making progress with our first teacher. Our teachers since have been quite vague in instructions in the pool, don’t move the lesson on well and we don’t feel like we’re making progress at all. We were told late notice that the lessons would continue over the summer, but this was not communicated with our teacher or the venue. We had a brilliant teacher step in to teach over the summer, but ended up missing a lesson with her because the pool wasn’t open. We now have another new teacher who has been ending the lessons early, which is disappointing when they are so expensive. We have been told this is because of how many children there are in the lesson. We enjoyed to begin with and because my little girl enjoys her lessons we continue, but if we could find alternative lessons at a convenient time we would move to them. I want my daughter to learn water safety and how to swim, but if it wasn’t for this we would stop going. Not sure if it’s just the location we’re in or if this is something other customers have experienced.

Exceptional! Fun & Learning
My little boy has been attending Waterbabies for 9 months now in Sandbach. And he absolutely loves his lessons. Each week he has the biggest smile on his face. He just cannot wait to get in the pool. He has learnt to love water so much. Even bath time is as exciting! He has come on so much since our first lesson. The skills that they are taught are fantastic. The pool we use is lovely and warm. Which is what I wanted for our little one, as well as myself as I don’t do well in colder waters. Our regular instructor Amy is a fabulous teacher. Reassuring you at every step and taking time to show you how to introduce your little ones to new water skills. She is always so happy and cheerful and makes you feel so at ease. Because teaching your little one to swim is a daunting experience for any parent. I have taken family members to our lessons to see our little one swimming and they are so proud of his abilities and love for the water. Recently we went for our Underwater Photo Shoot. And it was an experience I will remember for a long time. The Waterbabies staff were amazing! Everything was so relaxed, they took everything at a pace that our little one was happy with. Even making his Nanny emotional at how much he enjoyed the experience. I am super excited to see the photos! Thank you Anna and her team at Hempstalls Primary School who delivered the shoot. We had a wonderful time.
