Learn a skill for life with Water Babies
We teach life saving skills.
Start the journey to a more confident future for you and your child today. Our classes will teach your baby from birth how to save themselves if they’re ever in trouble.
In the US, drowning is the leading cause of death among children ages 1–4. In 2022, there was a 28% increase in drowning deaths among these young children compared to 2019.
We hope it never comes to it, but one day that skill might save their life.
This is why we do what we do.
“I took my little boy to Water Babies when he was 3 months old so that he wouldn’t have the same fear of swimming that I had from traumatic lessons at school. We loved it and the skills he learnt saved his life when he fell off a pontoon at the age of 2 without a life jacket.
Rather than panicking when he fell into the water, his Water Babies training allowed him to calmly swim to the side, hold on and pull himself out.” Mom, Jennie.
