Learn a skill for life with Water Babies
We teach life saving skills.
Start the journey to a more confident future for you and your baby today. Our classes will teach your little one how to save themselves if they’re ever in trouble.
Drowning is the third-highest cause of accidental death among children under five in the UK. That’s why we’ll teach your little one to get to the side, hold on and get out.
We hope it never comes to it, but one day that skill might save their life.
This is why we do what we do.
“I took my little boy to Water Babies when he was 3 months old so that he wouldn’t have the same fear of swimming that I had from traumatic lessons at school. We loved it and the skills he learnt saved his life when he fell off a pontoon at the age of 2 without a life jacket.
Rather than panicking when he fell into the water, his Water Babies training allowed him to calmly swim to the side, hold on and pull himself out.” Jennie, Devon.
We advance their physical development.
Sleep, eat, exercise, repeat. Swimming helps regulate all of these essential activities. Babies and toddlers who swim with us have:
- Have stronger heart and lung functions.
- Have better balance and are better at grasping things.
- Are significantly stronger and more co-ordinated.
- Walk earlier than their peers.
- Have improved appetites and sleeping patterns.
We nurture their emotional growth.
We provide you with the perfect backdrop to support the bond between you and your little one.
- Promotes bonding.
- Boosts confidence.
- Stimulates positive emotions.
- Provides structure.
- Rewards achievement.
We stimulate their cognitive growth.
Compared to non-swimmers, water babies are top of the class when it comes to cognitive development.
Griffith University of Queensland, Australia found that children that had swum as babies were…
- 11 months ahead in oral expression.
- 6 months ahead in mathematics.
- 2 months ahead in reading.
- 17 months ahead in story recall.
- 20 months ahead for understanding directions.
We’ll support you, over and over again.
We’ll nurture your child’s physical and emotional development from birth. Whatever your circumstances. This means that some of our life-saving skills are available on YouTube for you to start practicing for free.
