Water Babies Autumn - the Season of New Beginnings With autumn here, heralding new beginnings for lots of mums and dads as their little ones head off to school – some for the first time – now’s a good time to start thinking about some new beginnings of your own. And while your little one won’t be starting nursery or school just yet, they’re never too young to start learning!

Baby swimming lessons are not only one of the best things you can do to bond with your baby, they’re also excellent for their development: they help develop learning skills, boost confidence, improve coordination and enhance their wellbeing.

Multi-award winning Water Babies lessons across Derby are run by Marie Smith. “At Water Babies, we’ll teach you and your little one confidence and water safety skills from day one,” says Marie. “And, whilst you are learning new skills all the time, to you and your child you’ll only ever just feel like you’re simply having the best fun!”

The next Water Babies term starts in Nov and places fill up quickly, so give them a call on 01636815567 or email hoopswim@ waterbabies.co.uk to find out more. Here’s to a season of splashy new beginnings!
