Amazing staff
Amazing staff! They take the time to make both the children and parents feel comfortable and supported. We've been bringing our kids here since they were just 8 weeks old, and the experience has been wonderful. They have learned to love the water and now feel completely comfortable and confident in the pool. We couldn't be happier with the care, patience, and encouragement they receive.

WaterBabies in Cork
Amy attends WaterBabies in Cork. Sge was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy however swimming gave Amy the opportunity to exercise her muscles in a non weight bearing environment. It allowed her a freedom of movement that she didn't have out of the water. The various safety skills, swimming techniques, and play used in Water Babies allowed Amy to stretch and move her body in a fun non clinical setting. Most importantly it helped Amy to build up her core strength. Amy is flying it now 4 yrs on, thanks to the exceptional experience and patience of her teachers.

We have been attending water babies in Waterford since my daughter was 10 weeks old, she’s 16 months now and she loves it. I enjoy it too and find the service fantastic. I had to change days last minute a few terms ago and there was zero issue, we were accommodated happily by the team. Jana is an amazing teacher, so friendly, interactive and has the same lovely manner every single class. Thank you all, Amy & Polly.

Water Babies is fantastic
Water Babies is fantastic. From its approach and interaction to the genuine care shown to each child. Jana is exceptional with the kids and even in larger classes always manages to give every child the attention and support they need. My boys absolutely love going and it has become such a positive part of their routine. Most importantly it has helped build their confidence and created a real love of swimming and being in the water.

Highly recommend Waterbabies
Absolutely love our swimming sessions! Our teacher Chiara is amazing! The only thing that keeps it from being 5 stars is the lack of availability for catch up classes. Unfortunately most classes are full so I understand but it would be great to have more variety for a catch up classes!
I highly recommend getting your baby into these classes!!
