Underwater photoshoot opportunity
Today We had so much fun at our underwater photo shoot. As always it’s really well organised but today just felt better everyone as normal so happy friendly filled with such kind words.
The photographer was so kind and caring ensuring we got a perfect shot. She was really interactive and appeared to have great fun with every person there

Beth our teacher is so good with all the babies and knows everyone's names and gives each baby individual help and guidance depending on their own abilities. She's super friendly and helpful. The water babies programme is a really positive way to learn to swim.

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.

We strive to ensure every class delivers the best possible experience, and we’re sorry to hear there were instances where the sessions may have ended earlier than expected.

The classes are well organized with similar aged children. The teacher is great with the parents and children and the lesson is interesting, varied and fun. I have noticed that over the weeks, the children in the lesson have improved in confidence and ability. You can see how they love the swimming experience.

A must for coastal babies
My daughter started swimming with Water babies at 3 months. We are both learning new skills and it has made me feel confident to take her swimming alone. Beth is a great teacher and I can see how the songs and activities are translating into water safety and swimming techniques. Living by the coast I wanted my daughter to grow to be a capable water woman and I feel Water babies is the best starting step towards that.

Great pool and lessons changing facilities.However changing facilities are not great for toddlers.
Lessons were great. The changing facilities are open plan for members of the golf club as well. Floor is really slippery which is not good for toddlers. Only one baby changing room so shower cubicles are used instead.

Quality time and investment for my Grand -Daughter…
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!

We are so happy to hear about your positive experience with our program! It sounds like Bella is thriving in the water and enjoying her time with her new friends. We are incredibly proud of our instructors like Beth, who go above and beyond to create a welcoming and supportive environment for both children and their families.
We believe that the benefits of early water confidence are invaluable. It's wonderful to hear that you are also enjoying the experience and that you have found a way to make it a positive one for you as well. Thank you for sharing your story, and we look forward to seeing Bella continue to flourish in the water.
Wouldn’t choose to go anywhere else!
We swim with Lilly in Plymouth and have done since June 2024. Our little ones confidence has sky rocketed and we couldn’t thank Lilly and the Water Babies team for this! I have dealt with Holly over the phone on numerous occasions who has always been happy to help and always goes above and beyond to make sure everything is always running smooth! Couldn’t thank everyone enough for all their support with Avas swimming since started and can’t wait to see her confidence grow more over time!

My son’s loved every class
The whole team has been welcoming and caring which has given us confidence from the beginning. My son was 4.5months when we started and he’s loved every class. It links in well with our other activities with crossovers of songs and signing so it’s so much more than swimming.
