What makes our underwater photography the best?

There's nothing quite like seeing your baby swimming underwater. And we know time with them is precious, so having a snapshot of a skill that you and your little one have learnt together is something you'll want to keep for a lifetime. 

Our underwater photography captures that special moment where your little one shows off everything they've learnt so far in their lessons.

Our photographers and equipment are world-class, so you can feel confident that you'll be taking home a beautifully crisp, high-resolution shot of your baby, striking their best pose. We take up to 9 images of your baby on our shoots depending on their comfort so you’ll have plenty to enjoy and look back on when they’re older. These photoshoots are run a few times throughout the year and are an additional cost. Your teacher will always let you know when one is coming up so you can book on.

So take home a unique keepsake. It's a chance to share your little one's progress with your friends and family too.

"The underwater photography is my favourite picture of my children, and I have a lot! I had a sibling shot done and seeing your own baby’s underwater photo is very special. I would have regretted not capturing this moment forever had we not done it – it’s a beautiful picture that celebrates their achievements in the water. It’s worth every penny and a complete show stopper in the hallway." Natasha, one of our swimmers

How does it work?

We set up a state-of-the-art studio in the pool to create that iconic 'Nirvana' shot of your baby. We’ve worked hard with our venues to provide a covid-safe environment with reduced numbers in the pool so you and your baby can feel completely at ease. And don't worry. We assess every baby individually so you don't need to be anxious about whether they're ready. We're only ready when they are.

Award-winning photographers

It's not as easy to take underwater shots of babies swimming as you might think! It's not just a case of point and click. Our photographers need to be able to hold their breath underwater, lower their heart rate, use heavy equipment and keep their hands steady...and that's just the start. They've also got to deal with tricky lighting conditions, and wriggly babies, with only a split-second to get the perfect snap. That's why many of our photographers started out as scuba divers and then took up under water photography professionally. And they've won loads of awards too. Some of then have even worked for the BBC and National Geographic. Impressive stuff.
