A massive well done to all of our swimmers this term!

Last week, we finished the term with our Badge & Certificate Week, followed by a fun swim to celebrate everyone’s hard work and progress. We’re so proud of all our swimmers!

🏊 Don’t forget, we’re running our Summer Swim School throughout the holidays. It’s the perfect opportunity to keep practising, build confidence, and benefit from extra 1:1 support with our experienced instructors.

There are still a few last-minute spaces available. To find out more or book a place, please contact [email protected].

We look forward to seeing you in the pool this summer! ☀️💦

Beginner Group Class Spaces Available!

We have some brand new beginner group classes starting in January at the Hydro Hub on:

Mondays at 5pm
Wednesdays at 4.30pm
Saturdays at 10am

Swimmers need to be age 4years plus and not yet swimming unaided on their own, these classes are the first starting point for lessons at Little Fishes so are brilliant for building confident, happy and safe swimmers for the future!

Lessons are 30minutes long and we have no more than 6 swimmers in a class working alongside one of our fantastic teachers with the added bonus of a swim teacher assistant to lend an extra pair of eyes and hands in the water (sat & mon classes)

If you are keen to join us then please get in touch to arrange a trial swim. We don't expect these spaces to hang around for too long!

The best way to reach us is by emailing

✨ International Women’s Day ✨

Today, as we celebrate International Women’s Day, I want to take a moment to recognise an incredible woman—my amazing wife, Sarah Baxter. 💜

Sarah is not just an amazing wife, mum, and businesswoman who founded three successful companies: Littlefishes Swimschool, Hydro-hub, and FISH . Her passion, resilience, and dedication have shaped so many lives, whether it’s teaching children to swim, supporting staff in their personal development, or encouraging our children in their sports and hobbies. And this week, she proved once again just how extraordinary she is.

On Monday, Sarah began one of her most grueling challenges yet—climbing Mount Kilimanjaro alongside five other inspirational women. And this morning, at sunrise, she reached the summit after climbing for seven hours through the night! 🏔️🌅

It hasn’t been an easy journey. Altitude sickness hit the team hard, and on Wednesday, two members had to make the heartbreaking decision to stop their ascent due to severe effects of altitude sickness and advice from the medical team supporting them. With lower oxygen levels and extreme conditions, Sarah described it as the hardest thing she has ever done, battling the effects of high altitude every step of the way. Yet, with sheer determination, she pushed through.

Early this morning, we received a message from the team—they had reached the summit! 🌟 I can’t wait to see the photos and hear more about their journey, but for now, I just want to say how unbelievably proud I am.

Sarah, you are an inspiration—not just to me but to our children, our friends, and so many others. Your strength, courage, and drive show what’s possible when you set your mind to something. Hopefully, your journey will inspire others to take on their own mountains—whatever they may be.

Happy International Women’s Day! 💪💜✨

🌍🌟 An Inspirational Journey: Sarah Baxter Climbs Kilimanjaro for Girls’ Education! 🌟🌍

Sarah left Devon on Thursday to fly to Kilimanjaro, and today marks the first day of her incredible and challenging journey! Sarah Baxter, is the founder of Littlefishes Swimschool , is taking on the challenge of a lifetime—climbing Mount Kilimanjaro! 💪⛰️

Alongside a team of five remarkable women from Mid-Devon, Sarah will trek through Africa’s highest peak from March 3rd to 9th, reaching the summit at sunrise on International Women’s Day (March 8th)! This expedition isn’t just about personal achievement—it’s about empowering women and girls worldwide.

The team is raising funds for the Malala Fund, helping to ensure 12 years of free, safe, and quality education for girls globally.
We would love to help the team reach their £10,000 goal—they have already raised £5,645! If you would like to support this amazing team and cause, please click the link below:

“The Malala Fund works to secure 12 years of free, safe, quality education for all girls so they can learn and lead without fear. We focus on secondary school, particularly grades 7-12, when gender discrimination increasingly affects adolescent girls’ futures. Completing secondary school opens up opportunities for girls to make their own life choices, allowing them to reach their fullest potential.”

We are beyond proud of Sarah and the team for pushing their limits, standing in solidarity with young women globally, and proving that when women uplift each other, anything is possible.
