Your baby is at the heart of everything we do. When they're ready, we're ready
We all know swimming is great exercise but the benefits are far wider than that, especially for little ones who not only stand to benefit from better sleeping and eating habits but also from improvements in physical and cognitive abilities as well
We're very proud of our offering from Birth to 6 years at Water Babies, these are a few of the reasons to swim with us
- Teaching water safety, confidence and swimming skills in a fun structure which promotes physical and mental development
- Water Babies classes aren't just a lesson, they're an experience
- Water Babies teachers train to the highest possible standard. We are the only swim school whose teachers earn the Swim England Level 3 Teaching Pre-School Swimming (Advanced) qualification
- Our flexible progressive program is designed to fit around the individual needs of a child and their adults and is based on the foundations of the most established framework in the country
- We teach you the skills you need to support your little one, you don't need to be confident in the water yourself and you don't need any previous experience. We're here for you
- All our pools are warmer than typical council pools and are a comfortable height to stand while supporting your little one
- We run regular underwater photoshoots, turning the pool into a specialised underwater studio. Ask us for details, they're great fun and an incredible opportunity to capture unique memory box moments of your little one
- We teach at venues all around Bristol, Bath & Wiltshire, you can find our class options by clicking the link below - Please visit our main page for pools in other areas
I always knew that when I had children I wanted them to start swimming lessons.
I wasn't a confident swimmer at all growing up, or even now. With Noah's diagnosis of visual impairment, I thought it was even more important to do it!
I was so nervous as Noah was premature so really small! I didn't know how much he was going to be able to see, so would he ever be able to develop skills like the others? Also, how was I going to cope as I wasn't a confident swimmer! I spoke with Kim about all my worries and she talked me through everything and answered all of my questions. Kim completely reassured me and made me feel confident in taking the next steps!
Our first lesson was with Poppy who was so excited to meet everyone! She was happy, bubbly and confident! (Always help being a teacher!)
We made some amazing friends in the other parents and children. We all cheered each other on and made a fuss of all the new skills the children had learnt!
I had been suffering with postnatal depression, but going swimming every week and building that 1-1 bond with Noah was just what we both needed!
We now go swimming every Saturday and Noah absolutely loves it! He practices his kicky legs in the bath, owns all the WB fish and splashes around in and under the water without a care in the world! Noahs Visual Impairment hasn't affected him what so ever! All of the WB team and our WB community have been amazing! We definitely made the right decision!
'Evie has been swimming since she was 3 months old, Water babies started her on her swim journey and she is now in stage 9 and swims in competitions for her club at only 8 years old!
She absolutely loves swimming and is growing every week in her sessions!
This is all thanks to her amazing teachers.
We would recommend anyone to swim with water babies, it’s a life skill, so thank you!'
'Dasiy started with Water Babies when she was 4 months old and has been swimming ever since.
We swam through the whole Water Babies programme and during that time I loved it that much, I became a Water Babies teacher
Water Babies has been life-changing for us!'
