We are Mary Bower and Emma Dawson, a mother and daughter Franchise team providing baby swimming lessons in Southampton. I am Emma, a mum of one. Coming from an Early Years Teaching background, I fully understand the importance of allowing each child the time and space to develop water skills at their own pace, without pressure, whilst ensuring plenty of fun along the way. We aim to create a stimulating, fun and multisensory environment whilst teaching children all the key elements of early swimming and safety.
We have plenty of swimming lessons near Southampton, our highly experienced swimming teachers run classes in classes throughout the week across the city. We teach babies, toddlers and preschoolers at all of these pools.
All of our Baby Squids have lots of fun, learn important water safety skills, will develop their first strokes. We use our structured milestones programme to help guide parents through the progress made to date and what skills will be developed next. If you are looking for quality, structured and above all fun swimming lessons in Southampton, then get in touch now.

We embrace individuality, and how each child learns so differently, which is why we separate our Southampton baby swim classes into 4 Milestones. Each of these stages is specific to your child’s development. We love teaching kids to swim, and we really encourage all ages & abilities to join us at any point; during the middle of the term, starting as a newborn or a preschooler. We really focus on working with parents / guardians on improving your child’s water confidence so if you have any questions give us a call and we can talk through everything we do.
Book up for a course of Southampton swimming classes and if after your first class you decide it’s not for you we offer a full refund to all new customers.
It’s a chance for you to meet the team and enjoy a Splash, Kick and Swim the Baby Squids way.

My little boy absolutely loves his Baby Squids classes and he’s now so confident in the water. All the teachers are fantastic and always bring so much fun. I think it’s such a valuable way to spend some quality time together each week and would definitely recommend! Helen Marsden – Southampton, Hampshire
Since starting Baby Squids nearly a year ago, my son has just loved it. He looks forward to swimming every week and often talks about it to other family members. He’s so confident in the water now, and I’m really impressed with how well he’s done. All the instructors we have seen have been excellent – friendly, happy and they really enjoy helping the children to swim. Aimee Ellis – Southampton
I have been taking my son Arlo to baby squids since before he was one and he is now 3 and a half. Emma is an absolutely fantastic teacher. She is so patient and enthusiastic about what she does and Arlo is always so excited to be in the water. My son has ASD and Emma is so inclusive and goes above and beyond to make sure that he feels comfortable. She made visual support cards for him too! I now take my three month old daughter Maeve and I cannot think of anywhere else for her swimming journey to begin. Thank you for everything Emma! Anisha Keane – Southampton, Hampshire
