What can I expect from a Water Babies lesson? Our lessons are carefully designed to create a fun and supportive environment for both parent and baby. Each session lasts for 30 minutes, providing the perfect amount of time for your little one to enjoy and benefit from their swim. Our classes are kept small, with a maximum of 10 babies, to ensure individual attention and a comfortable atmosphere.

We believe in teaching water skills through play, song, and repetition. This encourages your baby to feel confident and relaxed in the water while enjoying their learning experience. Our experienced teachers will tailor each lesson to your baby's ability, ensuring that they progress at their own pace.

Water Babies is more than just a swimming lesson. It is an opportunity for you to bond with your baby through skin-to-skin contact and eye contact in the water. As you spend focused time together, away from the busyness of daily life, you will strengthen your connexion and create cherished memories.

In addition to the emotional and bonding benefits, our lessons also have numerous physical and cognitive advantages for your baby. Swimming helps develop their muscles, coordination, and balance, as well as enhancing their appetite and sleep patterns. It teaches them vital water safety skills from an early age, ensuring their confidence and safety in and around water. Research has even shown that babies who swim can demonstrate advanced mathematical reasoning and reading skills.

We offer lessons for babies and toddlers of all abilities, from as young as birth up to 4 years old. We believe that everyone can benefit from the joy and confidence that swimming brings, regardless of their age or ability.

Located at Ashville College in Harrogate, our swimming school is easily accessible from various towns and cities across Yorkshire North & East, including Bridlington, Hull, Scarborough, York, and more. We have a dedicated team of passionate and qualified instructors who are committed to providing a safe and enjoyable learning environment for you and your little one.

If you are ready to embark on an exciting swimming journey with your baby, simply drop us a message, and we will be in touch to find the best time and place to get you swimming. We look forward to welcoming you and your little one to Water Babies at Ashville College, where we believe in the transformative power of water and the joy of early swimming experiences.
