Here what others have to say

Welcome to Watersprites

My name is Emma and I’m the owner of Watersprites. I have always had a love of water and swimming, it was an important skill for me that I wanted my children to learn

As a mum, time in the pool is a big part of family life. And luckily teaching children to swim feels like my calling; when the opportunity arose for me to take over Water Sprites, it felt like it was meant to be! I work with both parents and children using a gentle, fun, child-led approach; think musical instruments, singing, floats, toys, games and lots of opportunities to bond with your child through one-to-one time together.

Advice and Posts

Here are our insights and guidance on swimming courses and learning. We’ll also provide updates on new locations and upcoming classes.

Why should your baby learn to swim?

The benefits of swimming aren’t just physical. At Water Sprites we play using basic shapes, colours and numbers, helping babies to develop problem-solving, turn-taking and listening skills.

OUR APPROACH

Water Sprites Approach

Learning to swim is such an individual experience. As a parent, only you know that little Isabelle loves water but hates getting her hair wet. And that Toby doesn’t like pool noodles. At Water Sprites, we understand this; we know that every child will take to swimming in their own way. In fact, we are so committed to the individual experience at Water Sprites that it’s influenced the way we run the business!
