Baby Squids Southampton

Baby Squids Southampton, led by Mary Bower and Emma Dawson, brings a unique swimming experience to the city. Emma, drawing from her Early Years Teaching background and personal experience as a mother, ensures each child develops water skills at their own pace in a fun and stimulating environment.

Located across various pools in Southampton, the lessons are taught by seasoned swimming instructors specialising in babies, toddlers, and preschoolers. The primary focus is on water safety and initial strokes, guided by a structured milestones programme that keeps parents informed about their child’s progress.

The Novotel Southampton Hotel pool, known for its light-filled and glass-surrounded environment, and the hydrotherapy pool at Springwell School, heated to 34C, provide ideal settings for young learners. Oaklands Community Pool, purpose-built and heated to 31C, and the 32C Regents Park College pool with stepped entry, are also excellent venues used by Baby Squids Southampton.

Mary and Emma embrace each child’s unique learning journey, offering four tailored milestones. Children of all ages and abilities are welcome to join at any point, with a strong emphasis on enhancing water confidence in collaboration with parents or guardians.

To encourage new participants, Baby Squids Southampton offers a free trial lesson, with a full refund if it's not a good fit. The team is committed to delivering quality, structured, and enjoyable swimming lessons in Southampton.
