Meet Haylea
I’ve always taught swimming lessons since I aged out of lessons myself, and have loved teaching ever since.
What’s your favourite part about teaching?
It’s amazing to build connections with parents through the babies and toddlers’ Water Babies journey and see the progress they can make in such a short time.
What’s your most memorable moment as a Water Babies teacher?
One of my most memorable moments was teaching the same three kids from before they could talk as infants– and now they are conversing with me and know my name. It’s awesome to see them grow up and be a part of their swimming journey.

How our lessons work
Supportive lessons
Taught in a friendly group atmosphere, one carer per child and one of our teachers in the pool in each lesson.
30 minutes long
Lessons take place each week, so it’s a wonderful way to bond with your baby away from the craziness of life.
Have fun!
Skills are taught through song, play and repetition, so there’s never a dull moment when you’re in the pool.
Tailored progress
Our teachers will tailor each lesson to your little one’s ability, so it’s only when they’re ready, we’re ready.

A skill for life
“We love Water Babies! Vale is a lot more confident in the water now when we’re on vacation or swimming with friends (…) It’s also a really fun activity to do every week!”

Amazing lessons that build confidence!
My daughter and I have been loving Water Babies! We started when she was 6 months, and now at a year old, we’re still going strong … Also the safety skills that we work on multiple times a class, every week, will soon become second nature and that gives me great peace of mind.

We love Water Babies
It’s a great way to get your little one comfortable in the water and help them learn how to swim (…) The way they use stories, songs, and the other babies in the class, makes it really easy for the parent and the baby to enjoy it.”

Child Development and Safety
“I am an Early Years Teacher and appreciate the developmentally-appropriate lessons (verbal cues, movement, visual cues, and song), adult instructions … [Water Babies] focuses on water safety. This is important to us as parents, especially as we travel as a family of three and have friends with pools.”
– Amy and Oliver (Kingston)
