"My baby is 3 months old. She's been doing great with cup pours and loves back floating. She's seemed to really start to enjoy being in the water, and it's been helpful knowing different things I can do to prepare her to swim."

Megan P.
"Katie C was lovely. The session was efficient and very informative. So convenient to be able to do it from our own home but still have the support of someone who is trained and knowledgeable."

Brina B.
"Wonderful! And super informative! Made me feel more comfortable in the water with my baby 🤍"

Annika O.
"We loved our trainer! Lots of good information and technique. 100% recommended!"

Susana M.
"We started bathtub lessons at 3 weeks old. Swim instructors were amazed at our 9 month olds comfort in the water. From blowing bubbles to submersions to skooching to jump in the water, tub lessons helped us learn how to introduce water comfort with swimming. At home lessons were a great bonding experience postpartum and helped us expose our baby to swimming early. I wish we had done lessons with our first."

Lindsay B.
"For me, there is no better way than being able to schedule a 20 min zoom, when it’s convenient for me and my child and be able to not even have to leave the house!!"

U.
"I knew I wanted my baby to have a great relationship with the water and start water safety skills at a young age. We started lessons when Enzo was 3 months old and he learned to hold his breath so quickly! He’s now almost 6 months and doing great with underwater submersions. He loves the water. We love our lessons and the instructors! I love this so much more than the in-person facilities - this is much more intimate, cost effective, and easier to fit into our schedule. "

Peyton A.
"I loved that I could take the lesson during his nap time and then take what we learned to the pool at our convenience. I appreciated how the instructors always had fun ideas to get us out of a rut or to get us to do something new! I love that my boy is so comfortable in the water and not scared of trying new things because of the confidence we built early on!"

Taylor F.
"It was great to be able to schedule a lesson at a time that suited our routine and that was personalised to my child’s confidence level in the water. It empowered me to continue practice the skills with him between our lessons, ready for our next skill!"

Bianca P.
"I was so excited to start virtual lessons with Watermellow! I live in a rural area with fewer instructional opportunities, but I really wanted my daughter to have a healthy relationship with the water. I also really wanted her to be able to enjoy swimming as early as possible and that’s exactly what these lessons have done! The instructions are intuitive, individualized, and simple to implement and understand - and all in the comfort of my own home and bathtub. I look forward to many more sessions of swim lessons!"

Paige E.
"I really enjoy being involved in the process; I’m being taught how to teach my child a love and respect for the water. The instructors are so knowledgeable and patient. After trying other swim lessons, we’ve had the most progress with watermellow because every lesson is tailored to each specific child."

Katie H.
"I am *so* glad that I found Watermellow! I continually tell my friends and family about Watermellow and what a great experience I’ve had. I love that I’m able to take lessons in the comfort of my own home. The coaches are incredible and always make sure that I feel good about what I’m doing with my baby. They explain each step of the way in great detail to ensure ultimate safety and comfortability. There has never been a question that our coach Milana couldn’t answer. Not only do my husband and I love Watermellow, but our baby does, too! He started when he was 3 months old and is now 5 months old and has more skills in the water than I could ever imagine! We so look forward to our swim lessons and what new skills we will learn together as a family. We live near a lake and a beach, so we are thrilled to know that when the time comes for swimming in either one our little guy will be safe and know exactly what to do."

Summer M.
"In just 6 lessons L and I have built skills in being comfortable in the water together, she's holding her breath well, and we so enjoy our swim practices together."

Brigitte N.
"We love watermellow! Our instructor was so patient and knowledgeable! We loved being able to do lessons in the comfort of our own home!"

Bethany I.
"I loved the watermelow courses and so did my 9 week old. I truly believe they helped him be more comfortable in the water. Now at 10 months, my babe is a little fishy. I would 100% recommend these courses to anyone with a baby!"

Sofia F.
"We loved having our almost three year old so swim lessons with watermellow! We used a variety of instructors, all knowledgeable and patient. We really appreciated the flexibility of being able to book different days and times each week based on our changing summer schedule-we were able to continue lessons even on vacation in different time zones! We saw so much improvement in our child, and felt more confident as parents knowing how to support his swimming."

Amy T.
"We started bathtub swim lessons with our daughter at 4 weeks old. I was shocked at the ability, at such a young age, to make progress and improve comfort in the water. It was so helpful to have the instructors guiding us on how to develop skills including floats and submersions. Having been a swim instructor myself, these techniques and information were all new to me. The swim programs I taught in previously didn't have these strategies as part of the program and that is where Watermellow excels! We have since outgrown the bathtub and are not able to use mobile devices at our local pool, but we are anxious for summer to begin and we can get back in the backyard pool to continue our lessons!"

Carly S.M.
"We are really enjoying the lessons with Milana! We like how she steps it up a notch every lesson - making it slightly more challenging and giving us something fun to work on through the week."

Camille D.
"The lessons were amazing, my daughter learned so much. Watermellow lessons were far better than the swimming lessons offered at our local pool, even the private lessons can't compare. We can't go to the local pool without at least a couple people mentioning how good a swimmer my daughter is."

Zowie P.
"I live in a rural area with no access to a pool/swim lessons. Watermellow made it possible for me to get my baby started in the water and filled me with confidence! All the instructors are friendly and knowledgeable. I can’t say enough great things about this program!"

Adrianna G.
"We are beyond happy with our Watermellow swimming classes. We started with my son when he was 4 weeks old and he is now 3 months. We love that all of the skills learned have a purpose and a progression. Milana, our instructor makes sure to explain everythign so well and checks in with both baby and parent to make sure everyone is comfortable! The format of the classes are fantastic and work well for our schedule. I had some issues with booking classes and the team was quick to get back to me and help me with anything I needed! We would definitely enourage others to take classes if they are thinking about it!"

Teagan R.
"I love watermellow!! My baby and I get to bond together at home doing swimming lessons. He learns new skills while I feel confident to complete the lessons with the guidance of the teachers. We live in a town with no pool, so this was the perfect way to introduce water at a young age. Thank you for being so accessible :)"

Kristie C.
"We started at home swimming lessons for our daughter when she was six months old. The instructors that we worked with made us feel very comfortable and the option to do our lessons at home in the bathtub was very convenient."

Kayla P.
"We love the convenience of having swim lessons at home and our little guy loves it even more than we do! It has been so much fun teaching our little one how to swim and build his confidence in the water. I love that safety and breath control is huge in the curriculum and it makes me feel more comfortable knowing my baby has skills to help keep him safe while swimming. Lessons are the perfect amount of time for him and build on his skills each time. We are so impressed with how much he has learned and how great he is doing. He loves the water and this has been so helpful for his development!"

Savannah H.
"I have been following Watermellow since my baby was born 7 months ago and started using some tactics from Instagram posts right away. I just had my first virtual bathtub session last week and it was SO GREAT. We were able to confirm that I am doing things correctly and watching/listening for the right cues so we learn things right the first time! So the instragram tips were super educational, but having that one on one eye on us was a GREAT confirmation and makes me feel so confident!"

Maleah S.

“I always looked forward to taking Mommy & Me classes with my baby when I became a mom, and since we’ve been quarantined I’ve been coming to terms with the fact that I won’t get to have that experience with the boys. But today I had such a special time doing a virtual swim lesson with Cole! We set up a 20 minute zoom call and learned so much together!

If you’re looking for a fun bonding experience with your baby, I would definitely recommend this! Tomorrow is Campbell’s turn and I can’t wait. I’m so happy to share about this great small business that has already brought us so much joy”

-Jenna, mom of twins 3-months-old

“Our bathtub lessons were amazing! As a professional in the aquatic industry, I didn't expect to have so much anxiety with putting my own first babe in the water and that was eliminated. Each lesson was personalized to where we were at and helped us grow in water confidence & skills.

As someone trained in the traditional parent & tot curriculum, I believe this is a far superior method to training parents and babes to be water safe and water confident.”

- Stephanie B

“We have loved our swim lessons with Kira! She’s amazing and really helped us understand why we were doing what we said and was so great at making us both feel comfortable with some of the scary first time skills!

Our son is a fish now and totally comfortable in the water and we give all the credit to watermellow!”

- Macayla L.

“I love the swim lessons! It is so convenient to be able to do them in our bath tub (starting at 3 weeks old). All the instructors have been amazing as well!”

- Monica S.

“Everything was concisely and clearly explained. I didn’t have to ask why we were doing each exercise. Plus the instructor was very friendly.”

- Pappa

“Kira is awesome! She explains things well, is encouraging, and her knowledge and personality make me feel comfortable teaching our son new skills.. She has never been wrong that he is ready to progress and I no longer get anxious with new things because I’ve learned to trust her, him, and myself. She also was flexible with us and fit in our lesson when we had to hop on late. I also appreciate being able to book one lesson at a time since my schedule is different each week and weekly lessons at the same day/time do not work for us.”

- Kaylee T

“We just finished a bathtub lesson for my 6-month-old son. He loved every minute and I feel confident in helping him master the next few steps in his swimming progress! Our instructor was so friendly, professional, encouraging, and very thorough in her explanations. Thank you for this opportunity to learn from home!”

-Danae, mom of 6-month-old

“I just had my first lesson with my 4 month old and what an amazing experience! Thank you!”

-Lori Ann, mom of 4-month-old

“My 9 month old daughter had her first virtual swimming instruction today. It was an amazing experience and she was so knowledgeable and helpful. I would definitely recommend and look forward to booking more appointments to learn more skills.”

-Beth, mom of 9-month-old

“Thanks again for today! We practiced in the bath tonight. All Mavy wanted was for me to cup doing the cup submersions and he’d wipe his own face then take a big breath; even got him blowing bubbles. And Mk did amazing anticipating the water from the cup and on her belly. You’re such a great teacher I can’t believe how much they’ve progressed!”

— Kayla, mom

“My daughter and I experienced our first virtual swimming lesson. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but our instructor was amazing and we had an incredible experience. She made us feel so comfortable and confident, explained our next steps perfectly and her support and encouragement as we moved through the lesson was fantastic. She answered any questions I had throughout the lesson with poise and confidence, and great knowledge. She was able to relate to me and communicate accurately the reactions and what to expect from my infant.

We are looking forward to our next lesson already, and would highly recommend this to anyone!!!

During social distancing, or not - this was a wonderful opportunity and I didn’t even have to leave my house. I am so glad I found this company online and thoroughly enjoyed our lesson. Registration, communication, and participation were smooth and simple.

10/10 for this company and their virtual swim project!”

-Aly, mom of 4-month-old

“Thanks so much for the lesson last night we really enjoyed it and you were extremely knowledgeable! Hopefully, we'll get to enjoy lessons with you in person one day.”

— Morgan, mom of 8-month-old

“Thanks again. We loved it and will continue practising.”

— Amanda, mom of 3-month-old

“Thank you so much! I’ve been raving of our lesson yesterday, it was fantastic.”

— Alyson, mom of 6-month-old

“We really appreciated the lesson and we definitely learned a lot. We think this is a great project and appreciate your time. You were a great teacher!”

— Maura, mom of 9-month-old

“It has been great having instruction on how to introduce my little girl to the water in a way that suits her development and age. She has been loving the experience so far!”

- Carly S. M.

“Really appreciated the one on one support of these classes and meeting you and your baby where you're at. Always made sure you were comfortable with what you were doing. Loved all of Kira's tips as well and ideas for how to extend your learnings post these classes.”

- Sara J. C.

“It’s fantastic. my baby loves it and so do I ! Spending time with him in the water is a dream.”

- Paula U. B.

- Kayla C.
