“Kelly Rae, Director and Trainer of Oceanic Waterbabies has dedicated her life to creating and embodying an infant aquatics program that delivers what it promises. Her personal dedication to sharing her skills, wisdom and love have created a fun, connected, nurturing, informed, professional swim school. There is nowhere else that offers such a comprehensive understanding of Childhood Behavioral Development, Parent/Child Relationship, Birth Experience, Retained Reflexes, Water Connection, Parenting styles, developmental milestones , teacher motivation and intention and how all of these inform what we see happening in the water. Using both practical and academic methods, I felt I was always given the tools I needed to learn the skills required, to nurture the essence within that is needed to embody our philosophy of doing it with our children not to our children. Also, to deliver this world class program with professionalism and precision. The training was delivered in the most professional, compassionate, and supportive environment I have ever trained in. I recommend to anyone who believes they have what it takes to be an Oceanic Waterbabies Teacher to challenge themselves to the training and transform their life with such deeply meaningful and rewarding knowledge and work.”

“I wanted to become an Oceanic Waterbabies teacher so that I could help babies have a gentle start to life, a love for water and watch them connect with their parents in a happy environment. I never would have imagined how the babies and families in the program have touched my heart nor the feeling that I get to see them arrive each week so super excited to get in the pool. The staff and families at Oceanic Waterbabies make my job such an enjoyable one. There are so many smiles, squeals and splashes to go around”

“Having had my son in the program for a couple of years we had so much fun and we were supported and guided through some tricky times. I signed up for the teacher training program because I wanted to be part of that story for other families. The training program is unlike anything I've been a part of before, it covers the course content but also has organic nature that ebbs and flows with you. The support and mentorship I receive is ongoing. Becoming a teacher at Waterbabies is joining a fun, energetic, supportive and like-minded team. Being part of our swimming families journey with their little ones is so much fun and so rewarding”
