We are very happy with the swimming lessons! Rae is an amazing teacher — very patient, kind and professional. My baby Anya really enjoys the sessions and feels comfortable in the water. I can already see great progress and growing confidence. Thank you for creating such a lovely and safe environment for the babies!

Rae is a brilliant teacher, i thoroughly enjoy the sessions and my baby does too. We've been attending since he was 3 months and 1 year later you can see how much he progressed. He loves the swimming, diving and the games. 10/10 recommend

Our daughter has been having swimming lessons with Rae since she was 10 months and absolutely loves it. She is 3 now and thriving. Rae always make sure she is comfortable in the water, learning new things and constantly entertained. She absolutely loves it!

Charlotte

Love the classes, my daughter equally got better and better in the water! We made so much progress in just one term.

Andrea Coletta

We enrolled our son in the first level of swimming lessons at this pool and had a great experience. The instructor, Rae, is fantastic — very passionate, patient, and engaging with the children. The pool is always clean and at the right temperature, which makes the lessons even more enjoyable. We are very happy with the experience and will definitely continue enrolling our son in the next levels. Highly recommended!

Sophie Rollins

We started our 5 month old swimming with Rae earlier this year and she has absolutely loved her time in the water. Rae is encouraging, kind and so knowledgable being able to judge when our little one is ready for the next step or whether she needs to have an easier session. She has made our daughter confident in the water so far and we look forward to our weekly sessions to see her grow further.

Such a fun swim class for our daughter who started a few months ago. She is 9 months old now and is having a great splash time. It’s such joy to see her acquire new skills. The teachers are very attentive and highly skilled, we feel very reassured when the class is tailored to the readiness of the child ❤️❤️

My little one has been learning to swim with Gemma since she was 3 months old. I have had a fantastic experience at the Cheam Pool of Baby H2O. Gemma was wonderful and warm with my little one, the changing rooms are neat and the atmosphere is so welcoming. My baby loves 'swim day' and has made so much progress. The babies learn to swim in a fun environment with singing and playing. Gemma has been extremely patient not only with my baby but also me who is a non-swimmer.

Yusra Efara

Been loving the H2O classes for my baby. She’s done 2 stages so far and she absolutely love it. Rae (instructor) is lovely, warm, professional and fun. 10/10

Baby swimming FAQs

A few quick answers for families thinking about starting lessons in Sutton or Cheam.

What age can my baby start swimming lessons?

babyH2O welcomes little swimmers from 3 months old through to 3 years. Classes are grouped around age, confidence and stage so children can learn at a pace that feels calm and achievable.

Do parents get in the pool?

Yes, baby and toddler lessons are parent-and-child sessions. Parents or carers are supported throughout the lesson so the water becomes a positive shared experience, not something rushed or intimidating.

How big are the classes?

Classes are deliberately small. Cheam sessions usually have 4–5 children and Sutton sessions are kept to around 6-7 children, giving every child space, attention and reassurance.

What if my child is nervous in the water?

That is completely normal. babyH2O uses a gentle Building Blocks approach, focusing first on trust, security and enjoyment before introducing new skills. Children are encouraged, never forced.
