Christine

So pleased with how far she's come

Florence has loved her swimming lessons and we're so pleased with how far she's come. You've helped her gain so much confidence and have been so patient with her on the weeks she has been a little more resistant! So thank you!!

Louise

Their skills and confidence has come on so much

My girls have been with Watersprites for almost two years and their skills and confidence has come on so much, and I know this is thanks to their fantastic teachers who they have slowly come to put their trust into.

Tilly

So friendly and welcoming

My daughter has been with water sprites just over a year & tonight she’s graduated with water confidence & the skills and techniques to go to the next level of competitive swimming. All the teachers (especially Hollie and Emma) have been so friendly and welcoming and have really valued my child as an individual. They offer incredible service which is unique to every child in the class and make swimming fun. My daughter now has a love of swimming which will last her a lifetime. We are so grateful for this brilliant start to Hollys swimming journey. Thankyou ladies!

Beth Dunkley

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.

The benefits of coming to Water Sprites swimming lessons with your baby early on can be significant.

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.

2024’s Frequently Asked Questions

Over the past few weeks we’ve received some questions about our groups and the lessons we provide. This post ois all about answering all them for everyone to see. Let us know if these help by getting in touch!

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!

All teachers are DBS Checked & Trained First Aiders
Independently operated business
Running since 2011
