I couldn't recommend Baby Squids New Forest enough. My little one has been swimming with Nadina for almost 4 years. Nadina is totally fantastic and I couldn't imagine him swimming anywhere else. He is learning such a valuable life skill in a calm, fun and safe environment.

My daughter swam with Baby Squids from the age of 1 until she left for school. Emma is a fantastic teacher. She is patient with the children and is great at encouraging them to do things they might be afraid to try. Thank you Emma for teaching my daughter such an important life skill.

Simone Murray - Christchurch, Dorset

My daughter has been taught to swim by Baby Squids since she was just a few months old. Since the age of one she was taught by Nadina and then Emma. They are both brilliant teachers and have given her so much confidence in the water. They have lots of fun whilst learning. The teachers are firm but fun! I can't recommend them enough.

We absolutely love Heather and Baby Squids. It's really great to get little ones happy in a pool and is always really fun and friendly. Ashurst Lodge is a beautiful private pool, facilities lovely and clean and peaceful.

We have had an incredible journey with Nadina at Baby Squids. A's swimming has come on so much and her confidence has improved greatly! We will always cherish the two years we’ve had with you and I honestly can’t thank you enough. The way you have the child at the heart of what you do is amazing and something that helps make you so special. Your passion shines through your teaching in your sessions.

I can’t express my great experience enough with Baby Squids. Charlie started his journey at just 5weeks old and we have been loyal to Baby Squids ever since, it is just incredible the confidence he has developed. Massive credit to Michelle our pool instructor who is just fabulous with the kids, she’s a real asset to the company.

I was a little nervous watching my husband and son as they first got in the water. Jodie made my husband (& me on the sidelines) feel completely at ease... so friendly & reassuring. It was such a beautiful introduction to swimming & our baby boy loved it! Thank you so much, we will be recommending Baby Squids swimming lessons far & wide!

Zoe Roe - Salisbury, Wiltshire

Viki's patience, encouragement, brilliantly planned & pitched swim lessons & outstanding teaching style have had a huge impact on the remarkable progress and water confidence Jasper has gained since joining your classes - and I can confidently say that being an Assistant Headteacher myself!

Stacey Macdonald - Andover, Hampshire

Charlie and I've both really enjoyed our classes. Alex is a great teacher, calm & confident with a big smile that puts everyone instantly at ease. The lessons are fun & relaxed with songs and games and lots to keep the little ones busy and active in the water. Highly recommended for kids swimming lessons in Winchester!

Lucy O'Neill - Winchester, Hampshire

I'm delighted as well as extremely sad that Evy is graduating. It's been the best experience, not only has she learnt to swim but has made some lovely friends too. Evy started at 4 months and her love of swimming has grown and grown to now a confident swimmer of 4 years, I will truly cherish our Baby Squids memories.

Samantha Lamb - Christchurch, Dorset

Thomas and I have had a fantastic time with Alex at Winchester Hospital hydro pool. He started swimming lessons when he was 7 weeks and now at nearly 6 months he doesn't have any problems with going under the water, getting splashed or swimming on his front or back. Thank you Baby Squids.

Alex Cornell - Winchester, Hampshire

In my honest opinion, swimming lessons with Baby Squids have been the best thing I've done with my baby. We have been swimming since he was 8 weeks old and now he's 11 months and so full of confidence in the water.

Emily Walsh - Andover, Hampshire

The baby swimming lessons with Baby Squids have been amazing, my daughter absolutely loves it every week, she is never happier than during lessons which she started at 8 weeks old. I can't recommend it highly enough, I'm amazed every week at how she improves even at such a young age.

Highly recommended. My son Noah has been attending classes since he was 4 months and is now 17 months. Laura & her team have been fab & as a result Noah is very confident and happy to be in the water. Don't hesitate in trying them out if you are looking for swimming lessons for your baby!

My daughter has now been working with Kristina for two years, and absolutely loves her swimming lessons. She has learnt so much from Kristina, and so have I! Classes are so small, it is practically like having your own private swimming lessons. Recommended for swimming lessons near Exeter!

We are loving the swimming classes at Elmers in Lymington. Our lessons have very low numbers so it feels like we are having private swimming lessons, really good value for money.

Kristina is fantastic!! She is really encouraging. William wasn't overly keen to begin with but seems happier every time we go. She is a real asset! Much better than other swim classes we have tried nearby!

One word...brilliant! The groups are smaller than other swim classes my friends have attended & that our teacher spends time with each of us and goes at a pace we are both comfortable with. Really enjoyable & highly recommended if looking for Christchurch baby swimming lessons.
