Oaklands Community Pool

Welcome to Baby Squids Southampton

Oaklands Community Pool is a purpose built charity-run swimming pool. The pool is heated to 30.5/31 degrees which makes for a lovely temperature for our young swimmers. Lessons are held in the learner pool which has stepped entry. In 2019 the changing rooms have been completely redesigned as a changing village refitted with plenty of large family cubicles and brand new showers. Viewing for grandparents and other spectators takes place in two purpose built rooms with large television screens.

The pool car park has ample free parking and is easily accessible in a couple of minutes from junction 3 of the M27. This is a truly fabulous swimming pool facility! It is close to Lordshill Centre bus stops with regular bus links from Southampton town centre, Shirley, Romsey and further afield. The Lordshill area has a large Sainsburys with a café. Next door to Sainsburys is a pharmacy, post office and library all within a couple of minutes walk.

Our Instructors

All of our teachers understand young children and have a huge amount of experience supporting a variety of abilities. Each of them specialise in the baby, toddler and pre-schooler age groups. Our swimming teachers are the main reason so many of our Squidlets come back term after term.

Emma

Emma loved taking her daughter Alissa swimming with us so much that she had to retrain as a swimming teacher. Emma absolutely loves showing parents how to have fun in the water with their children and developing their water skills.

Jools

Jool’s mum was a swimming teacher for over 40 years so it is in her blood! Jools swam competitively for a club in Ireland and then qualified as a swimming teacher in 1994. Since having kids, Jools qualified to teach babies and toddlers and loves teaching all our Baby Squids babies and pre-schoolers💗

What our Customers Say

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

Sam Marmot - Romsey, Hampshire
Out of all the baby classes we do, Baby Squids is by far our favourite!! I even requested Tuesdays off work so I could continue with the swim classes!! Nadina is a brilliant teacher! Joseph absolutely loves swimming, and that's down to Baby Squids!! What more could you want!
Nina Pearshouse - Totton, Southampton
Fantastic swimming lessons in a relaxed and friendly environment. The group rranges from 3-9 months but the instructor ensures all needs are catered for. I genuinely look forward to this class every week & my daughter is growing in confidence. Highly recommended!
Rachel Williams - Southampton, Hampshire
Faye loves her toddler swimming lessons & interacting with her friends. Our instructor Emma is amazing with them and she thoroughly enjoys every session - always very well planned and never pressured to put them under water. Thank you for making it so pleasurable.
Samantha Verrall - Totton, Southampton
My 3 year old daughter loves the classes; she enjoys all the singing and fun whilst learning that makes swimming, jumping in and putting her face in the water fun and it’s improving her water confidence. Fantastic children's swimming lessons!
Sophia Smith - Chandlers Ford, Hampshire
Alfie loves his swimming. Now an independent swimmer (just!), I'm really pleased with the way he has taken to the lessons, and looking forward to him starting to develop his strokes. Highly recommended Southampton baby swimming lessons!!
