BABIES splashed into the waterworld of play during a 10-week course where they learned to feel at ease and confident in water.

Instructor Charlie Jones, who held classes at Trinity Primary School in Hereford, introduced 26 new recruits to the aqua swim and play.

The lessons are gentle and gradually progressive and helps babies learn to adapt to their new environment, with many often ready to swim underwater by the sixth week.
