We had our underwater photoshoot recently and this is our 3rd year doing it! Every year I think it couldn’t get better and as always they outdo themselves! We have had a selection of incredible photos that will last a lifetime time! Will definitely be doing it again next year!

Debi is an amazing instructor. She teaches swimming very professionally but also helps you bond with your baby in the water. You can tell she loves what she does and makes your lessons a highlight of your week :)

Our experience with Water Babies as a whole has been incredible. Our swimming instructor, Katarina made the effort straight away to remember all babies names, and greets them individually as we get in the pool each week.
I've had a few times where I have had to reach out to the office and the team have been nothing short of warm, friendly and helpful.
We also attended the underwater photoshoot experience through Water Babies a few months ago and the staff were warm and approachable.
Honestly cannot fault a thing! Worth every penny!

Our teacher, Anna, at the Burgess Hill site was incredible. Really engaging with the babies, whilst teaching them vital skills in the water and keeping the lessons fun! Our 6 month old daughter loves the lessons, and has started to show an understanding of the instructions that are re-enforced every week. Would highly reccomend!
The only reason I have given my review 4 stars is because we had a few lessons cancelled at quite short notice.

Water Babies has become the highlight of both me and my partner's week, as well as our son Henry's.
Sally is brilliant at providing a safe and enjoyable environment, showing genuine love and care for all the children in the pool.
It brings us a lot of joy to see how Henry is improving week by week, and we recommend Water Babies to all our friends.

We loved water babies our instructor in manchester was incredible and our little loved it. Unfortunately we had to move house and we relocated, the class nearby us was then full so we took the next best one but the timing was different, our girl started nursery and kept being off due to Illness and each time we could get there she would just scream, now the timings mean we just can't get there so we have had to stop, no complaints though it was all outside factors

The best day of the week with my little one. We started when she was 4months old. Shes now 1 and it just gets better and better. A good way to get some of the energy out of the very active toddler

My now 10 month old has been loving her swimming classes. It has become one of the highlights of her week! I love how helpful, accommodating and kind the instructors to both parents and children. The lessons are well prepared and taught.

It’s good but I would have appreciated a better induction.

Fantastic Underwater Photoshoot, completed in Ardoe Aberdeen. We have took part in the last 3 years and its great to see the progress.

My son has been having lessons from Tracy at the village gym in Bracknell. She is incredible. I feel very lucky to have had her for his start to swimming. It's a shame she cannot continue the classes there but very much impressed with how much is crammed into each lesson and how Tracy seems to genuinely care and enjoy the job she does.
There has been cancellations, sometimes at quite short notice but it's usually due to pool issues so cannot be helped.

Lovely planned sessions with a lovely teacher and comms with the admin office is always informative and timely. My little one began at 5 weeks old and his water confidence has developed so much in just 2 terms and I’ve got no doubt that he will continue to develop and improve.

We started waterbabies when my daughter was 4 months old. We’ve been with waterbabies almost two years now and the skills my daughter has learnt will be lifelong. the quality of the lessons and the way they are tailored for little ones to understand and put into practice is fantastic. As a parent I have also learnt the fundamentals of safe swimming and what skills she needs to learn and grow. Thank you to our teachers so much for your time, skills and patience during our lessons. We will definitely be back to continue growing her confidence and skills. Thank you again!

We have been swimming with Water Babies since my son was 8 weeks old. Now at 2 his water skills are amazing and he has confidence in water. The program has been engaging and educational. We’ve also made wonderful friends through swimming together every week.

We have had an amazing experience with Water Babies.
Our eldest daughter started when she was just 6 months old and continued until she turned 4 years old. Now our youngest started at 3 months old, is now 1 year old, and she still absolutely loves her lessons.
We have been incredibly lucky to have Jennifer as the teacher for both of our daughters. She is knowledgeable, patient, caring, and brilliant with the children. She always creates a calm, fun, and supportive environment, and it’s clear how passionate she is about helping little ones develop confidence in the water.
Over the years, I have tried switching to cheaper swimming classes, but I always found myself coming back to Water Babies. Although it is more expensive than some alternatives, you really do get what you pay for. Water Babies is so much more than just swimming lessons—they teach children vital water safety skills while building their confidence and enjoyment of the water from a very young age.
Looking back, choosing Water Babies for both of my daughters is one of the best decisions we made. I would highly recommend it to any parent.
