Lessons are progressive and so much fun for me and my daughter. We have been attending since she was 12 weeks old and have no intentions to stop. The confidence gained in just 14 weeks is incredible.... See more

Lessons were great. The changing facilities are open plan for members of the golf club as well. Floor is really slippery which is not good for toddlers. Only one baby changing room so shower cubicles... See more

Thank you so much for your lovely review! 💙
We're delighted to hear that you've had such a positive experience with Water Babies. It's especially wonderful to hear your kind words about our amazing Yasmin. She is passionate about helping little ones build confidence in the water at their own pace, and creating a relaxed, supportive environment where both babies and parents can enjoy their lessons.
We're so pleased that you've found the classes down-to-earth and that Yasmin's approach has helped your little one feel comfortable while learning all those important swimming and water safety skills.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We really appreciate your support and look forward to seeing you back in the pool for more swimming adventures! ✨🙂💙
Not flexible
The classes are good but they are not flexible if missed classes needs to be scheduled

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. 💙
We’re really pleased to hear that you’ve been enjoying the classes, although we’re sorry to hear that you’ve felt there isn’t enough flexibility around missed lessons.
We completely understand that, especially with little ones, there will be times when families simply can’t make their usual lesson. This is why each swimmer receives five courtesy passes each year when lessons are missed. These don’t need to be used straight away and can be saved on your account to use at another point, giving you the flexibility to book an additional lesson at a time that suits you, subject to class availability.
If you’ve had any difficulty using your passes or finding a suitable alternative class, please do get in touch with our office team. We’re always more than happy to have a look at the options available and help where we can.
Thank you again for your feedback, and we’re really pleased to hear that you’ve otherwise been enjoying your Water Babies classes.

Immy was very patient and helpful as Libby has come to the lessons a little later in ages. She thoroughly enjoys the class and has looked forward to them. The facilities are fine and it helps the parking is nice and close.
Since the start of the Summer holidays Libby has been practicing her moves at Bovey Pool, so hopefully she will gain more confidence.

Thank you for your lovely review! 💙
We're so pleased to hear that Libby has enjoyed her lessons with Immy and looks forward to coming each week. Immy will be delighted to hear your kind words. She does a fantastic job of supporting every child at their own pace and helping them build confidence in the water.
It's also great to know that the facilities and nearby parking have helped make your visits that little bit easier.
How wonderful to hear that Libby has been practising her swimming skills at Bovey Pool over the summer break! Keeping up that water confidence outside of lessons is fantastic, and we're sure she'll be excited to show off her moves when classes resume.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We can't wait to welcome you and Libby back to lessons soon! ✨🏊♀️😊

Water babies & Beth at pra sands are incredible!
The team at Water babies (Cornwall) are amazing! My little one has been at Pra Sands with Beth since she was 5 months old & soon to be 2. Amelia adores water & even more in the pool with Beth who she has gained such a fantastic bond with. She is soo confident & has come on leaps & bounds, the progress is so visable week on week! she even swims with a noodle on her own for a couple of metres at a time with me supporting if needed obviously, back 2 months ago she hated the noodle & thats all thanks to Beth.
Beth is so kind, gentle, knowledgeable & supportive, she makes lessons enjoyable & so engaging. I cannot thank her enough for the last year & a half.
We cant wait to continue to see our little one grow in confidence even more than she has already so Thank you Beth & water babies for making it possible ❤️ xx

We are absolutely delighted to hear how much Amelia has enjoyed her time at Praa Sands with Beth, and it’s wonderful to know she has developed such a special bond with her. Watching little ones grow in confidence week by week is exactly what we aim for, and hearing that Amelia is now swimming with her noodle after once finding it challenging is such fantastic progress—well done, Amelia!
Beth will be so pleased to read your kind words about her kindness, knowledge, and support. We are incredibly proud of our teachers and the nurturing, engaging environment they create for families.
Thank you for being part of our Water Babies family over the past year and a half. We can’t wait to continue supporting Amelia as she grows in confidence and enjoys many more splashing adventures with us!
