Photo shoots

The Baby Swimming Company is in the process of looking for a new Photographer to offer very high-quality photo shoots giving you the chance to capture your child’s swimming adventure forever !

We will inform our clients as soon as we have one .

Bellow are the details of how it has worked in the past .

Ring us on 0208 417 1231 for any information.

How does the shoot work?

It’s designed to be as similar as possible to your usual lesson – a trained baby/ toddler handler will act as teacher, and you will have a maximum of four children in the water during your 30 minute session. This gives your child a break between dips and allows your child to feel relaxed.

A very experienced baby/ toddler swim teacher who has been additionally trained in dipping for photo shoots will welcome you into the water, and your shoot will start with a light warm up including a short dip underwater, making sure your child is as relaxed and happy as possible.

Initial requirements

Your child should have attended about two terms of six weeks each at The Baby Swimming Company swim school to build up the skills, strength and stamina needed for the photo shoot. Aqua nappies are required for babies either on their own or under a bathing costume as well please.

During the shoot

Our photographer shoots all the sessions personally and normally expects to shoot each child at least 3-5 times underwater in your session, and during each dip take between 1-3 shots.

This gives you approximately six to fifteen shots during your 30 minute session. We provide some lovely costumes and flowing materials should you wish to dress up your child during the latter part of your session or you can opt for simple child ‘on own’ shots if you wish. We also offer a shot where mum and or dad can join the child underwater.
