# Water Babies at Oakham C of E School
Water Babies delivers structured swimming lessons for infants and young children aged 0-4+ at Oakham C of E Primary School in Rutland. The programme is designed around developmental stages, with each age group progressing through named teams—Pearl, Saffi, Echo, Sculli and Finn—as they build water confidence and independence.
The business serves parents and carers seeking professional, supportive swimming instruction in a controlled environment. Lessons are parent-led for younger babies, with caregivers entering the water alongside their child to foster bonding whilst building safety awareness and foundational swimming skills. As children progress, lessons gradually shift towards independence, teaching proper technique and water safety through play-based learning.
What sets Water Babies apart is their age-specific pedagogical approach combined with intimate class sizes—maximum 10 babies per lesson. Each 30-minute weekly session is tailored to individual progress rather than applying one-size-fits-all instruction. The curriculum incorporates songs, games and repetition to maintain engagement whilst teaching essential skills. For older children, the reward-based "Water Babies Treasures" system motivates progression towards "Swimvincible" status.
With over 22,000 five-star Feefo reviews, Water Babies has established credibility as a specialist provider. The location at Oakham C of E School offers convenient, accessible facilities whilst maintaining the supportive, child-centred philosophy that defines their brand.
