Water Babies Swimming...

A great choice for autumn & winter

W

ater Babies swimming classes are exclusively available across Derbyshire in extra warm hydrotherapy pools. This makes the classes still a great choice even in the winter months.

“Just half an hour’s swimming will provide your baby or toddler with a complete work out,” says Marie Smith, who runs lessons across Derby. “They’ll be exercising muscles they’d never even find on land! Swimming’s great for enhancing their confidence and awareness, as well

as helping to improve eating and sleeping patterns.”

“Swimming with your baby is a great way to play and is fantastic for strengthening the bond between the two of you. It will also introduce them to a lifelong love of staying healthy and fit, whilst having fun.”

For more information, phone Marie Smith and her friendly team on 01636 815567 email: Marie.Smith@waterbabies.co.uk www.waterbabies.co.uk
