# Water Babies at Manor Green School
Water Babies is a specialist swimming instruction programme operating at Manor Green School in Crawley, offering tailored lessons for infants and young children from birth through to age 4+. The business serves parents and guardians seeking structured water confidence building and swimming skill development for their youngest learners.
The programme is organised into five distinct age-based teams: Team Pearl (0-1 years), Team Saffi (1-2 years), Team Echo (2-3 years), Team Sculli (3-4 years), and Finn (4+). Each class focuses on developmental milestones appropriate to the age group, progressing from foundational water safety and bonding in infancy through to independent swimming techniques for older children.
What distinguishes Water Babies is their parent-participation model where carers remain in the water throughout the 30-minute weekly lessons, creating bonded learning experiences rather than observation-based instruction. Classes are deliberately kept small—maximum 10 babies per session—ensuring individualised attention and tailored progression. Their teaching methodology emphasises play, song and repetition rather than rigid instruction, making water confidence building enjoyable for both child and adult.
The business has built substantial credibility with over 22,000 five-star Feefo reviews. For older children, they introduce a gamified progression system called Water Babies Treasures, culminating in "Swimvincible" status, which maintains engagement beyond basic competency. This combination of evidence-based developmental approach, intimate class sizes, and parent involvement has made Water Babies a trusted choice for early years water education.
