Meet Steph

I’ve been working for Water Babies for 3.5 years now, first as a poolside assistant and now as a teacher.

I love interacting with everyone in the pool; children, parents, and carers.

I do love diving!

I love the joy that swimming can bring to everyone and the bonds that build within that time in the pool.

I do love diving!

For me, watching the children have the confidence to bend and submerge underwater, then glide through the water like a dolphin feels wonderful.

I fell in love with Water Babies 8.5 years ago when I started with my daughter, and I’m so glad to be a part of the family and watch children flourish through swimming.

How our lessons work

Learn essential water safety, core aquatic skills, and swimming strokes from the first lesson.

Supportive lessons

With a maximum of 10 little ones, a carer per child and one of our teachers in the pool in each lesson.

30 minutes long

Lessons take place each week, so it’s a wonderful way to bond with your baby away from the craziness of life.

Have fun!

Skills are taught through song, play and repetition, so there’s never a dull moment when you’re in the pool. 

Tailored progress

Our teachers will tailor each lesson to your little one’s ability, so it’s only when they’re ready, we’re ready.
