Too many teacher changes
Too many teacher changes, lack of consistency in lessons.
Some swims with my baby would be shown one way for two/three weeks only to be told we aren’t doing it correctly with another teacher.
WaterBabies - the best!
My daughter has been swimming in St Michael’s Belcamp since she was 7 months old and I cant recommend them enough! Her swim teachers Hannah and Sandra are incredible with the kids. My daughter is so confident in the water now. WaterBabies is her favourite time in the week!

Top class swimming lessons
Water babies was by far the best thing I have done with my son. We started at a young age of 5 months and he absolutely loves the water now at 18 months. He's like a fish. It was also a great physical activity when he was recovering from open heart surgery last year. Our swim instructor Laura was top class!!! I would recommend everyone to bring your baby to water babies!!!

Fun, bonding and development
I've been bringing my toddler to Water Babies for 2.5 years, and my infant for 6 months. It's been an amazing experience for both of them (and me!), developing confidence in the water, creating a unique bonding time between us, and watching them develop skills that I didn't think toddlers could have, like diving into the water by themselves and swimming with pool noodles. I'd recommend it to any parent.

I find the whole experience from the greeting when you walk into the changing rooms to when you leave. The teacher Louise is excellent. Explains everything in detail and makes the class great fun

Great bonding experience
Our baby girl loves her classes with Water Babies, and is now doing the second level.
There is great communication and details given in emails which was very helpful at the start so we could be prepared for the lessons. Our instructor Elaine is warm and friendly and creates a calm atmosphere for learning during the class. We love our Sunday swimming.!

Fantastic
Our daughter has been going to waterbabies since 12 weeks old. She is now 3 years old. She absolutely loves the water and is so confident in it. Waterbabies has a wonderful way of teaching swimming to young kids in a fun way, whilst making sure kids have good foundations of water safety and learning how to swim. Elaine has been a wonderful teacher. We really enjoy are weekly lessons.

Great fun and fantastic life skills
Our daughter loves these lessons, they are fun and varied enough to hold her attention for the duration of the class, which is the perfect length. The water safety element is invaluable. Emma and George are fantastic with the kids!

The best to teach children to swim.
We had no problem bringing our girl to waterbabies, as we have our son going for over 2 years and he loves. Our daughter is going into her second term and loves it also.
