Meet Craig
Hey everyone, I’m Craig….. new member of the Water Babies’s teachers team. Ex professional dancer with credits that include The Lion King in London’s Westend and Ray Charles, U.S tour and many more.

So happy to be part of the team and bring my personality and expertise to the Water Babies.
Throughout my career I’ve always been involved either teaching children dance or chaperoning them around the theatre. Life changed for me after loosing my best friend, and a few years later I found a love for teaching children to swim.
I’ve been teaching now for nearly 6 years, private lessons, mainstream lessons and all over London too. Chelsea, Kensington, Streatham, Islington, Archway, King’s Cross, London fields, Bethnal Green, Clapham, Brixton so many different places, watching, learning everything from professional adult and children’s clubs to baby lessons so I’ve learnt a lot of different things in a short space of time.
I saw Water Babies’s a few years back and thought no way, that’s not for me. I realised that I’m pretty passionate about my job not only that, I continue to work hard to be good at it. I thought why not take my skills and teach right and the very beginning of the foundations of swimming. We all know that laying good foundations at the very start leads to good things at the end….. right?
So happy to be part of the team and bring my personality and expertise to the Water Babies. Looking forward to meeting some of you in South East London.

How our lessons work

Supportive lessons
With a maximum of 10 little ones, a carer per child and one of our teachers in the pool in each lesson.

30 minutes long
Lessons take place each week, so it’s a wonderful way to bond with your baby away from the craziness of life.

Have fun!
Skills are taught through song, play and repetition, so there’s never a dull moment when you’re in the pool.

Tailored progress
Our teachers will tailor each lesson to your little one’s ability, so it’s only when they’re ready, we’re ready.
