Water Babies - Devon & Somerset Avis 

We love our classes, probably more than our son. We started when he was 6 weeks old and loves the water!! It’s helped him enjoy his baths but his safety and swimming skills are fast developing!! You can see how he already recognises the word association and routine of the swims. Our teacher always explains what and why the babies do certain swims which I think is so important.

My experience is great because of the way emily explains every thing before doing it, also shows example and makes sure you are happy doing that with your little one, if not it’s fine, also very patient with them when all they wanna do is cry lol, my little one enjoys it now, we always look up to Sundays for our class

I have swum in three different pools with three different instructors and everyone has been very welcoming. There is a consistent approach throughout water babies so I have been able to attend catch up sessions in different areas and feel part of the group straight away. The people in head office are very helpful and worked hard to ensure I found a group suitable for when I return to work after mat leave. My little one LOVES the water and I see a huge difference in his water confidence over his older brother’s who I wasn’t able to do water babies with. It’s been fascinating how quickly the lessons have evolved to my 9 month old recognising instructions such as “hold on” and happily going under water. The lessons are repetitive which is imperative for a baby learning new skills but that’s great from an adults perspective that you don’t have to feel that things are out of your learning capacity when you’re so sleep deprived! A new skill is added each week so the build up is gradual but we come so far in just 5 months! My baby knows what to expect and gets excited when we reach poolside. I can’t wait to continue my journey upon my return to work.

Our son has been learning to swim with Water Babies since he was 3 months. He is now 2.5 and loves swimming. Learning to swim is a life-saving skill and we think lessons have been worth every penny.

Staff are amazing and so good with my toddler. Make lessons fun for them

Everyone is so welcoming and my baby, now toddler has learnt so much in his time being with water babies. Due to timings we moved to a class which is older than he is and he is doing so well and managing to do everything that all of the other children are doing. Joining water babies was the best decision we made. The best part of it is Dani my little boy loves Dani and she is so supportive in every session.

We absolutely love water babies & it is a highlight of our week! I was a bit apprehensive to start as a new Mum and my daughter was only just turning 3 months, but now 10 weeks on and she is so confident in the water and has learnt many new skills. Including unaided underwater swims, which is incredible! Our instructor, Char, is so lovely and is clearly very passionate about what she does. She is always extremely smiley & makes a real effort with all of the babies (& parents!) We will always speak very fondly of water babies and would definitley recommend it to all parents out there.

I would honestly recommend this service to anyone I know with a young child! I am very impressed with the progress made each week and what each lesson entails. Every member of staff has been great and friendly along the way also. A very happy first time mummy here that is very greatful for the lovely experience we have received. Thank you!
