Hastings Baby Swim Reviews 

I visited late August with my 4 month old daughter and it was great to be back in the water after a break from swimming lessons during the summer holidays. Looking forward to coming back again soon. Chris really did go above and beyond to make it a fabulous experience and I would recommend it to anyone with a baby. I’m just over 5ft and could still touch the floor so the pool was a perfect depth to bob about with my little one. Changing rooms were lovely and warm so no screaming fit as we got out. In fact, my daughter was sound asleep by the time I went into the garden to enjoy my complimentary post-swim tea. I only wish she could have enjoyed the toys and games available but she slept soundly for hours afterwards! Great value activity and a very warm welcome. Fab snacks and drinks for both parents and babies old enough to eat. Thanks again.

One of the best things to do in Hastings if you have a baby / toddler. The whole experience was second to none, heated pool, lots of toys, lovely changing areas, everywhere smelled amazing, changing mats for baby, shower, hairdryer, really calming relaxing experience! Me and my partner kept saying it felt like being on holiday, really luxury and Chris does so well to look after everyone! 10/10 already can’t wait to come back and told all my mum friends about it!

Chris was really friendly and made us feel really relaxed at the pool. It was the first time our baby had been swimming and also the first time our toddler had properly swam too. Lots of fun floats and things to play with in the water. After the beautiful garden was laid out with things for the children to play with and a wonderful selection of snacks & drinks too. We will definitely go back! 😀

Hastings baby swim is utterly amazing. Not only is the actual pool beautifully clean, warm and perfect for babies, it’s all the additional touches that make the visit so special - all the toys, floats, armbands, goggles that are available for use. The lovely photos to make memories. The beautiful gardens and abundance of toys to play with after the swim whilst the feast of snacks, hot and cold drinks are just the icing on the cake! Thank you Chris. A real hidden gem!

Lovely experience. Great pool and lots of toys to choose from. Snacks afterwards are spot on with a range of healthy vegetables and some treats. Great selection of drinks. Lovely afternoon with the children, thank you.

What a lovely time we had at Hastings Baby Swim! We booked a private session for a group of us. Chris was great with communication prior to arrival and there to welcome us when we got there. He checked in that everything was OK for us and took some lovely photos.

The water was a perfect temperature for the babies (and adults!) With loads of floats and toys available. Travel cots really useful for the babies while you get yourself changed. Couldn't believe how many toys there were in the garden. The babies loved the bubbles and ball pit especially. Complimentary drinks and nibbles afterwards a really nice touch. Thanks so much we can't wait to come again!

We attended Hastings Baby Swim previously in July and decided to hire the pool for a private session so we could attend with friends in August. We ended up having 12 of us in total (a mix of adults, toddlers and newborns) which worked well for the space. We had a great swim - lots of toys and floats for the toddlers and loads of baby floats for the newborns / under 1's. Afterwards we enjoyed a cup of tea, chocolate biscuits and an hours play in the garden with plenty of toys to entertain the toddlers whilst the adults relax. The addition of the travel cots has been great as I was able to put my 4 month old down somewhere safely whilst I played with my toddler. I can't recco
recommend this place enough and have another private hire swim session booked already !

Lovely pool and surroundings. We felt like we were on holiday abroad while we were there. We loved it!

We have such a wonderful time at baby swim. Chris is always so happy and helpful. The grounds are so beautiful and it’s easy to relax while the babies play in the garden after a lovely swim.

We very much enjoyed our first visit to Hastings Baby Swim. It was lovely to have all the toys and floats which all looked like they’d been cleaned well so we were confident in using them. The surroundings and pool itself were incredibly clean and this instantly made us feel at ease. The garden to play in afterwards is fantastic, as are the complimentary food and drinks. We like the fact it’s not busy and numbers are limited so it’s quiet for the babies/children and it’s not the stressful experience it can be sometimes with a small baby and loads of other people!

Chris has thought of everything. Such a lovely experience.

Fantastic baby swimming at Covehurst! Great set up - lovely clean swimming pool, plenty of space in the changing area, lots of toys provided both in the pool and in the gardens afterwards. We really enjoyed the snacks and toys in the garden. Its hard to find great places for baby & toddler swimming but this is definitely it! Chris was very friendly and helpful too. Highly recommended.

I cannot recommend this pool enough!
I’ve been bringing my son to this pool every week since it opened in May and not looked or been anywhere else. Chris goes above and beyond in making our swimming sessions a fab experience every week. They provide so many things as well as refreshments and toys for the babies/children.
Coming to this pool has helped massively with my sons confidence in the water, after having a huge gap in swimming due to the pandemic, being in this friendly environment.
We look forward to our session every Friday. I have also privately hired the pool, during half term, and hope to do this again soon as it was Fantastic.

Wow! This place is a proper hidden gem! The pool is lovely with every swim toy/inflatable that you could wish. The garden afterwards is absolutely perfect and the snacks were a lovely surprise added delight! We didn’t want to leave, such a lovely afternoon. X

Our little one thoroughly enjoyed his first swim in the heated pool. Very relaxing atmosphere and the garden area kept him entertained afterwards. Chris and his team were very welcoming and helpful. Will definitely be coming here again!

Fantastic warm pool, perfect for babies and toodlers, set in beautiful gardens. The hosts are lovely and provide a great space and relaxing environment for the little ones to enjoy the pool, toys in the garden after the swim and a wonderful selection of refreshments. We love our visits to Covehurst!
