Meet Thamil
I’ve always loved the water. I started swimming lessons at a very young age, and it’s been a huge part of my life ever since. Sharing that experience with children and helping them feel safe and confident in the pool is something I truly love to do. I’ve always enjoyed working with kids, and having the opportunity to teach them water safety and life skills is very dear to my heart.
What is your favourite part about teaching?
I really enjoy seeing the bonding time the babies and toddlers have with their parents in the pool, and as they grow older, watching them become more independent is incredible.
Swimming lessons are always filled with proud smiles from children, parents, and myself! The whole learning environment is encouraging and positive, and there’s always something to celebrate together.
What is your most memorable moment as a teacher?
A memory that stands out to me is when a toddler who used to cling tightly to their carer as a baby finally let go, trusted themselves, and swam a short distance on their own. These moments remind me why this job is so rewarding.
What is your favourite skill and why?
My favourite skill is “Seahorses” where swimmers and parents start out riding together on a noodle, and before long, the little ones are confident enough to balance by themselves. It’s not just fun and imaginative, it’s also a valuable skill that shows how much they’ve grown.

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.”
