Today, we teach 50,000 babies every week through a network of over 76 family businesses across Canada, China, Ireland, The Netherlands and the UK. We're the only baby swimming school with our own pool consultancy service, passing on our knowledge and expertise to providers across the globe. We're also the only baby swim company with our own in-house, award-winning underwater baby photography. Last year, our skilled photographers took over 250,000 individual underwater shots. Our teachers are the best-trained baby swimming teachers in the world and the only ones who can obtain the national governing body, Swim England's, highest teaching qualification for under 5s.
