Our daughter has been going to waterbabies since she was 6 months old - she’s now 3 and a half. She absolutely loves her class. All week she asks when she is going again. We can’t believe how quickly her water skills have developed.

My son has always been very scared of water. Whenever we went on holidays, he was so terrified of the pool that we had to take turns watching him while the other went swimming.
We started him at Water Babies when he was just 1 year old, and it has been such an amazing experience. The staff greet us warmly every morning, and Andreea, his teacher, is incredibly well-trained, patient, and friendly, which makes every lesson a pleasure to attend.
Caleb now absolutely loves the pool! He gets so excited to jump in and enjoy his lessons. I would highly recommend Water Babies to any parents looking to introduce their little one to a skill that is not only enjoyable, but also such an important and beneficial life skill to have.

Water babies have changed our life’s. With my son having to have open heart surgery we didn’t know what way he would be after it and what he could do. We started water babies when he was 6 months old and it was the best thing we ever done the confidence and the strength he has since starting swimming is amazing. His always the first in the pool and the last out and he love his teacher Jana. Even thought he starts shouting now when then class hasn’t started or if we are talking to long. I can’t wait to continue watching him develop and grow with the swimming. His my little water baby thanks to Jana.

The classes themselves were fun for the babies and great to get them used to water, the only small thing was the time we had was too late for the closest location which is a pity

Our instructor Louise was fabulous always making it lots of fun for all the babies with catchy songs and fun games
We cannot recommend water babies enough for swim lessons. We stated just over a year ago in the west grove hotel in Clane and our experience throughout has been excellent. Our instructor Triona is so lovely. She is so good with our son Oscar and all the other kids in the class. Oscar has been having a hard time the last month or so with going under water and she has guided us through building back up his trust and enjoyment in swimming. Highly recommend to anyone looking for swimming lessons for their child.

I cannot compliment Yvonne enough. I love her and my baby does too. She makes the magic and always makes Clodagh feel special. Her classes are full of fun

The class lengths are good.
Size of groups are good.
Instructors are very kind, friendly & hands on with all the children.
The staff are very responsive.
The pool temperature for the children can be an issue especially as the kids/parents not continuously moving to keep warm.
I am not sure why the pool temperatures can’t be increased for a hydro pool.
The changing rooms were also very cold. Difficult to change children after lessons. This seems to have improved
Shower facilities even to rinse children down are not available.
You are allowed one pass on the class but no local classes are available in Cavan to do the catch up lesson

Water babies is fantastic. Hazel is an excellent instructor. She packs so much into the 30minute lesson & is so good with the babies. We look forward to our lesson every week.
Croía is also very good at her job. She is friendly, chatty and keeps the changing room & shower area extremely clean, mopping between all the classes & as people come & go! Great initiative for a young person.

We absolutely love water babies. Teacher Linda in butterfield is amazing and really gives the little ones clear instructions. She makes it fun but also keeping the learning at the core. Confident we are getting lots of key life skills as well as enjoying the time in the water.

My little girl is 2 and swimming is one of the highlights of her week. She loves “teacher Elaine”, who is always smiling and making sure the children are having fun while teaching them important water safety skills. We have been doing water baby lessons since she was 4 months old and watching her become comfortable and safe in the pool has been amazing.

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.
