English speaking swimming lessons for babies??...thank God that most Germans speak reasonably good English as some people seem totally lost in Germany without German!!...just go to Kellinghusenstrasse & join in the baby group there!! Swimming is an "international" language...sorry if I sound abit harsh but we are in Germany so not everything must be available in English!!

Yes very harsh - many thanks for cheering me up on my 5th day here in Hamburg...

Hi Lou,
I am not 100% sure but I believe you might be able to have someone help you at the Holmes Place. I know that most of the staff speaks english there and that they offer childrens swimming classes. Im a member there and could ask for you if you would like?? Just PM me and I would be more than happy to help you out!! WELCOME TO HAMBURG!!! It is really a beautiful city and MOST people are very kind and helpful.

You don't need to speak German to attend the classes at Kellinghusenstrasse. I went to the pregnancy swimming there and loved every minute and did not need to talk German. My baby is only just over 1 month old, but i will be going to the baby swimming classes at Kellinghusenstrasse when he is old enough. If you fancy meeting up before then, PM me!!

I suspect at 4 months old your baby won't worry whether they speak German, English of Serbo-Croat

Also "Hamburg" is a pretty large area - you might want to be just a little more specific in order to gain more valuable feedback.

Many years ago (our son will be 20[sup]*[/sup] at the end of this month) we lived in Wedel and my (German) wife went with him to nearby baby swimming sessions. Great fun had by all. I cannot remember how we got into that but it was probably via the local Familienbildung... You should check them out for various activities.

...sorry if I sound abit harsh but we are in Germany so not everything must be available in English!!
I'm afraid that this does come as a shock to many people in connection with many activities!
