16 inspirational Water Babies, from across the country, have been honoured at the Little Hero awards in Dublin this week. Water Babies, which celebrates its tenth anniversary in Ireland this week, has uncovered more wonderful stories of how being in water and swimming has helped babies and toddlers with their development, assisted them to overcome health issues and improve their lives and the lives of their family. Swimming stimulates all of the senses and each Water Babies lesson offers a range of activities which encourage children to develop their concentration, control and co-ordination. Sensory activity introduces new experiences, helps little ones to make sense of their environment, develops their memory, and speeds learning. Water Babies classes are available across Ireland in Dublin, Meath, Kildare, Cork, Kerry, Limerick, Galway, Mayo, Sligo, Wexford, Waterford, Tipperary, Carlow and Kilkenny.
