Swim your baby underwater with Aqua Babies - The largest and most well known program in the Greater Manchester Area!!!

Swimming courses for babies from 1 month to 2 years old in Timperley, Cheadle, Didsbury, Bramhall & Oldham.

Aqua Babies was set up in 1999 by Wendy Edmondson a baby swim instructor and qualified primary school teacher. Babies have a natural response underwater called the mammalian diving reflex. This means a baby will naturally hold their breath when submerged. This reflex is at it's strongest in small babies, though our techniques can be used with babies up to 18 months. The sooner your baby is introduced to water after birth the more natural the transition is. Learning to be an Aqua Baby should be as enjoyable as possible and through a program based on play, word association and popular nursery rhymes we aim to encourage babies to become confident relaxed and able to help themselves in the water.

Many parents also report excellent sleeps on the day of their lesson! There are many benefits associated with baby swimming. Babies are very liberated in the water; it is a free weightless environment for them. This means they use many more muscle groups and this in turn stimulates their brain. Swimming introduces babies to an active lifestyle with associated benefits for general health and co-ordination skills. It helps build up the heart and lungs, respiratory system and muscle development. We also encourage a special bond between parent and child and provide a good social environment for toddlers and parents alike!
