Meet Jo Wilson


Jo Wilson – International Aquatic Tutor, Founder of Aqua Sensory & Bath Babies

Jo Wilson is a leading voice in the world of early years aquatic education. As an International Aquatic Tutor, Founder of Aqua Sensory and Bath Babies, and a qualified Developmental Play Practitioner, Jo brings a unique blend of expertise in sensory play, child development, and water-based nurture to swim professionals and parents across the world.

Based in the UK, Jo co-directs two purpose-built family swim centres—Swim Works in
Warwickshire—alongside her husband, Christian. Through her in-person work and
expanding online presence, Jo supports both parents and professionals in understanding the transformative power of water in a child's earliest years.

A pioneer in shaping baby and early years swim programs; Bath Babies, is both a book and a new aquatic modality that nurtures the vital '1001 days' of brain development—bridging the fourth trimester and supporting a baby’s early water experience and precious journey from womb to world, bath to pool.

Jo’s mission is simple: to share the joy of sensory harmony in water and empower families to build connection, confidence, and calm through mindful aquatic experiences.

Jo looks forward to connecting, sharing, and exploring with you at the Napa Retreat.

"From splashy fun to mindful moments, Bath Babies supports parental confidence and nurtures baby development." – Jo Wilson

Jo's Swim Retreat Presentation

Making Early Water Experiences Special

BATH BABIES, is a program written by Aqua Sensory to combine the magic and beauty of water and nurturing touch to benefit the baby’s early learning experiences. No need for expensive or seasonal pool hire, you can run this program as a class format in little baby baths.

In our experience, not all babies (or parents/caregivers) are ready for the big pool and not all swim schools have commercial newborn swim programs or suitable pool time. BATH BABIES provides swim professionals with new commercial opportunities.

We look forward to sharing BATH BABIES, an attuned program that fits the needs of parents and babies to support the fourth trimester and nurture early water experiences.

In this pre-recorded presentation Jo will take you through:
-A background into BATH BABIES
-The benefits of providing a complimentary baby bath program for your swim school
-Snippets of our Bath Babies Program
-The program’s ethos: well being, mindfulness and creating community
-How you can become a BATH BABIES Teacher.

Jo will also be on hand to take any questions too.
