Through carefully structured training, babies can be taught life saving skills such as turning onto their backs or, following a sudden submersion, swimming to the nearest solid object. They grow familiar with what it feels like to fall into water, so that should they ever accidentally fall in they are far less likely to panic and drown. And our results speak for themselves. In the last three years alone, at least ten of our tiny clients have saved their own lives as a result of the skills they learnt at Water Babies – and five of them were just two years old at the time.
Water Babies classes run in Oswestry, Shrewsbury, Telford, Wolverhampton and Brierley Hill. For further details please call 01743 491 124, email wibblewobble@waterbabies.co.uk or visit:
