FAQ
Who is this course for?
Bath Babies is designed for parents and babies aged 4 weeks to pre-crawling. It’s perfect for those who are new to baby classes, looking for a gentle start to water experiences, or wanting to bond in a calm, sensory-led space. No previous swimming experience is needed—for baby or parent.
Do I get in the bath with my baby?
No. Each baby has their own warm, individual bath. You stay dry while gently supporting your baby through the activities under our guidance.

What happens at the end of the 5-week course?
At the end of the course, you’ll have created a beautiful foundation of water confidence and connection with your baby. You’ll also have the option to join future sessions, seasonal pop-ups, or start baby swim classes at Dizzy's Dolphins Swim School, when you feel ready to take the next step in your water journey.
What if my baby cries or needs feeding during the session?
That’s absolutely okay—this is a supportive, baby-led environment. You’re welcome to pause, feed, or cuddle your baby whenever they need. There’s no pressure to follow a set pace; the class moves with the rhythm of you and your baby.
Is this a swimming class?
Not in the traditional sense. While the course gently introduces early swim movements and confidence in water, it’s not about technique or submersion. Our focus is on connection, touch, and early sensory water experiences that prepare babies emotionally and physically for future swimming.
Can both parents attend?
Due to the small, intimate setting, spaces are limited to one adult per baby to maintain a calm and safe environment. If a partner or co-parent would like to observe or switch weeks, we’ll do our best to accommodate—just let us know in advance.
How much is a 5 week course?
We like to keep our classes as small as possible, to be able to provide a special, intimate experience.
This is no usual baby class, and our prices reflect this. The cost of a 5 week course is £100, with no more than 6 people per session.
Can I take photos?
You're more than welcome to take as many photos as you like during our classes (although we don't want it to detract from your special bonding time. However, please don't photograph any one else's baby. If you're happy to, be sure to post on social media & tag us @blossombubbles.swim
