ABOUT US
Swimming Wonders is a unique and complete water based program that starts with AquaBumps, our classes for mums-to-be and follows with our well-researched and structured Baby Swimming and Learn To Swim courses taught by our highly experienced and committed team of coaches all qualified and specialised in baby and children swimming.
Our courses are six weeks long to allow our Wonder families to plan their busy schedules ahead and to make sure the little ones have enough time to discover the wonders of swimming without having to commit to a full term.

THE WONDER TEAM
Our experienced and specialised coaches are passionate about what we do and this is why we can proudly say we are Dubai’s Baby and Toddler Swim specialists. Our courses are 6 weeks long. This allows families flexibility to plan their holidays, return to work, account for changes in your babies routines and any unforeseen circumstances. You do not have to commit upfront to a full term.
In her own words “I’m not afraid to take on any challenge, young, old and any level I’m here to make swimming an enjoyable experience and push you towards your goals
Just remember, EVERY child is different, every child reacts differently and every child has to develop trust before they can enjoy the water”
In her own words “In 2015 I took my eldest son to his first baby swim class and since then I have never left the water. I was working full time in marketing and communication but took on coaching at the same time, but when I moved to Dubai in 2018 coaching baby swim became my full time job. When I am in the water with our little wonders I feel so happy and proud. Helping them grow their confidence, the fun, the happiness and the safety in the water is priceless!”
Claudia is currently working on furthering her career in health and fitness and gaining her Level 3 personal training certificate so she can follow her dream of working with pre-natal and post-natal mothers.
In her own words “My passion for baby swimming started when I took my own children for classes in the UK. I loved watching their confidence grow while socialising and having fun. I feel proud and lucky to be helping babies to be safe around the water and have a lifelong love of swimming.”
In her own words “I’m passionate about the women’s body and its ability to adapt. Pregnancy, prenatal and postpartum workouts (both in and out of the water) should be very specific and tailored to this very special time in our lives. I find it rewarding to help educating future mothers on the correct ways to work toward their goals while helping them get fit, healthy and strong!”

In her own words “I love working with children very much so, and I enjoy seeing them progressing class after class, overcoming their own fears and becoming really good swimmers from the early ages ”
TESTIMONIALS
My L.O. has his weekly swimming classes on Friday. It’s also a moment of q-time with his dad. We are so happy we discovered Swimming wonders as our son improved enormously during 2 courses. It’s a small group of children so the coaches can really oversee what the children need and where they need more practice. They are always in a good mood and very encouraging towards the children and parents. Thank you swimming wonders!
Our favorite day of the week is the day we attend swimming classes with Swimming Wonders! The instructors are the best I have seen in Dubai. Everything is run very professionally by a great team who are excellent at teaching little ones to swim and know how to make the classes enjoyable at all times! A big thank you to Gemma and Ria for making the swimming classes so much fun for both me and my little one.
We have loved the past two terms with Swimming Wonders UAE, my 23 month old daughter, who a few months ago wasn’t really interested in swimming, now jumps in, swims underwater happily and doesn’t mind water splashing in her face. We love Claudia she’s a fantastic teacher, can’t recommend these classes highly enough!
