Our Story

Bumps to Babes had always just been a dream. A facility where we could teach according to the swimmers’ individual needs and abilities, a safe space and a space filled with inclusivity.
After using various private pools, Bumps to Babes was finally built in 2019 and became a reality.
We opened our doors on 1 February 2020, but unfortunately just 6 weeks later we were forced to close our doors as Covid-19 started spreading across the world.
As devastating as this was, we now look back on that time as a period filled with valuable lessons.
Today we are proud of our state of the art facility and the services that we offer. We welcome swimmers from as old as 3 weeks to 80 years.
At Bumps to Babes ,we “just keep swimming”.

What some of our previous clients have to say 

“My son is cautious by nature and getting him used to the water was becoming an ordeal. One on one coaching with Sunne's enthusiasm and abundant encouragement transformed his attitude towards swimming. The school then made the thoughtful suggested to introduce shared sessions with another boy who was slightly older. This came at the right time and was the push needed to really boost his abilities and confidence.

It demonstrated the skill and benefit of having a great "Coach!" Lessons are always fun and constructive.”

— James Westcott

“My daughter has been with Bumps to Babes for the past year, a great swimming school. Sunne and Cindy put in all their effort with the kids and are always friendly and happy. 

Leah has learnt so much in the last year, she has been taught in a professional and kind manner.  The kids are happy and Leah cannot wait till her next lesson, to learn more, as she puts it with teacher Sunne.  The premises is always clean and safe, and a great place for moms, dads, grannies and grandpa’s to sit and watch their little ones grow.”

“We started our 6 year old daughter a year and a half ago, after having been to another school where progress was super slow. We couldn’t be happier. My daughter’s teacher Sunne is simply wonderful. She is very knowledgeable and professional, and we have seen her swimming skills advance tremendously. Within the first two months of being there, the change was so so obvious.

Everyone is very friendly and you can tell they care about their students. We are happy with all that she’s learning at this school. Thank you!”
