Aquakiddies/Babies  was founded in 1993 by Julie-Ann James, our Head Instructor and Company Director. The Aquakiddies/Babies  method of teaching was first pioneered in Australia during the 1960's. Originating from Australia herself, Julie-Ann was one of the first children that this method was taught to. In 1993 Julie-Ann taught at just one pool.

Aquakiddies/Babies  is expanding it's classes throughout the whole of England, to ensure that as many young babies have the opportunity to develop their swimming skills as early as possible.
