New directions

I mentioned a while back that I was training for my new job - well I've had THE email - I've passed my 5 months of training and I am now a fully fledged baby swim teacher! But not just that, as a Water Babies trained swim teacher, I hold the highest baby swim teaching qualification in the WORLD. Yep! How cool is that! We are the highest qualified swim school you can get, and let me tell you, it's quite something to brag about once you get that certificate :) 

We do our Child Safeguarding, Lifeguarding, ASA level 1 and then our ASA level 2 is incorporated into a week long residential course that we do near head office, which is specific to Water Babies. Call it our 'secret ingredient' ;) 

Along with that we are all members of the IoS and we are all DBS cleared of course, which makes this job the most qualified role I've ever held. 

But the most exciting part of all is that I am not only teaching babies lifelong safety and swimming skills in the water - I am also spending some of my time in the office getting to speak to you lovely lot and going to baby fayres to let people know what we do and get as many babies as possible swimming! 

It might just sound like another class to take babies too, swimming - it's just a hobby right? Wrong! Our babies learn how to handle dangerous and life threatening situations from their very first lesson. My nephew is 2, and he only yesterday achieved his 5 metre badge and his ASA stage 1 award! HE'S TWO! Our babies are 2-4 years ahead of their peers in mainstream swim schools, and that just makes me feel even more proud of what we do. But at the end of the day It's not about being the best, it's about saving lives, promoting healthy active lifestyles, and giving people a fantastic experience! I am so privileged to work for Water Babies and if you'be not heard of us before, what are you waiting for?!
