Work With Water Babies

Water Babies is the world’s leading baby swim school, teaching water confidence and life skills in over 50 pools across Ireland every week and we’re always on the look-out for more venues to swim in.

Are you a pool operator, manager or owner? We want to hear from you!

Our experience of swimming all across the globe means we know what works and can help your venue with practical knowledge. Working with over 50 pools across Ireland means we understand many different pool set-ups, including hydro pools, school pools, hotels, leisure centres and private pools.

Who we are


We passionately believe that all children’s physical and emotional development should be nurtured from birth. 

And we do this by developing their water confidence, giving them special bonding time with parents or carers, and teaching them a skill that may one day save their life.

Why work with us?

Our experience of swimming all across the globe means we know what works and can help your venue with practical knowledge. Working with over 550 pools across Ireland and the UK means we understand many different pool set-ups, including hydro pools, school pools, hotels, leisure centres and private pools. 

  • We offer support for improved customer and membership retention:  Our customers are interested in the benefits of keeping fit and leading an active lifestyle, we often find that customers like to join the clubs in which they swim so they can continue taking their children to the same pool.  
  • Secondary spend: It’s more than likely that our customers will use your services during their time on-site (gym, café, vending machines, drinks dispensers), directly providing you with an associated secondary spend.  
  • Additional revenue from a reliable partner: As well as being reliable and prompt payers, we guarantee that you will receive a flat rate for the pool time that we hire from our established network of franchisees.  
  • We work around your schedules: Water Babies classes are often during off peak times, these being the periods in the day which wouldn’t usually generate income for pool operators.  
  • We are willing to offer support and guidance for your pools and facilities: We will provide all of the site specific health and safety policies to ensure that we integrate our classes into your environment seamlessly.  We offer in-house pools, facilities and safety technical support through our full-time National Pools and Facilities Manager, who can provide expert advice on any issues relating to safety and operations.  
  • We offer strong client management: We ensure that our customers smoothly integrate into your environment. We also have uniformed “Meeters & Greeters” on site at the start of every new term to direct clients and remind them of your rules and regulations which negates the need for any additional staff being required by our partner.

What do our pool providers think of us?

“Water Babies are great to work with and the team are lovely to have on site. It’s nice additional revenue for our leisure centre without any additional work on our part. I would highly recommend them as a pool partner.”

Noel, Senior Manager, Integral Fitness & Leisure, Co Meath

"Water Babies have been operating lessons in Liffey Valley for over 13 years. Everyone on the team, from Carol & Therese, to all the lovely teachers and the wonderful office staff, have been a pleasure to deal with throughout that time. They are all so professional and friendly and it really comes across that they love what they do. The Covid procedures implemented to deal with the new circumstances have worked brilliantly and everyone feels so safe attending their lessons.”

Definitely recommend this!

Definitely recommend these to any parent who has very young babies to start ASAP. The staff are very patient and helpful with information etc. But most of all, our baby girls' teacher, Davide, has the patience of a saint and really gets to know each baby and child.

Excellent swimming lessons

Excellent swimming lessons for kids. Dillon has learned so much, loves the water and has so much confidence in the pool. It's a life skill and Water Babies classes are the best. Highly recommend Water Babies!

A wonderful gift to our child

Better than I expected and such a great gift to give our son. I can't think of a better thing to spend our money on than to give him skills that will keep him safe and also provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Great, great service!
