We first came across Swim School via a recommendation from a friend after being disappointed with 2 other well known local providers. I am SO glad we made the decision to get in touch with Joanne and Megan back in 2022 - we’ve never looked back! Arthur, now 7, started at a summer intensive week just before he started school at age 4, with 3 armbands on both arms, a noodle, and a lot of tears! He is now Stage 3 with 200m, Water Skills badges and lots of other certificates under his belt! George started when he had just turned 3 and after refusing to even get in the water for his first 3 lessons, now age 5, has recently swam his 20m and has lots of Duckling awards and skills badges! They both absolutely love their lessons every week and it makes me incredibly proud to see their progress and confidence grow with every session - so much so that they both now swim unaided in open water and the sea! The teachers are patient, kind, firm when needed and aren’t afraid to push them to new limits to show the children they can achieve them if they try! The sessions are fun, stimulating, engaging and dynamic with a different focus each week. We love that there are lots of days and times for lessons at multiple venues. Our needs were patiently and carefully accommodated when we needed to change days due to a change in circumstances without issue or problems. There are different payment options available to suit your needs, holiday intensive sessions, badge weeks each term, sponsored swims where all the teachers and children get involved to support incredible life changing charities, end of term pool parties and much much more! A special mention to Joanne, Megan, Vicky, Grace and Ben who have taught my children and who are all absolutely fantastic teachers - we can’t thank you enough! We would highly recommend Swim School!!
My little girl has been having swimming lessons with swim school since turning 1. We have recently taken her on holiday and felt so relaxed knowing she can safely and confidently tread water independently. The classes are very engaging, filled with fun activities whilst also teaching a skill that sets a child up for life. We cannot thank swim school enough and would highly recommend!
Our daughter Ava has been attending Swim School since March 2025, and her progress has been fantastic. Her instructor, Megan, has been absolutely brilliant, always in the pool with the children, which really helps build their confidence in the water.
Every lesson is delivered with an element of fun, so the kids don’t even realise they’re learning. This playful approach makes the sessions enjoyable and helps them become water-confident much quicker. We’ve seen a real boost in our daughter’s ability and enthusiasm, she looks forward to every session.
Highly recommend to any parent looking for a supportive, engaging swim school that puts children’s confidence and enjoyment first.
My little boy went to a couple of places for swimming lessons before swim school but just didn’t enjoy it. Since starting swim school he’s really starting to enjoy it and the instructor is really good with the children. I finally don’t have to have a battle every week to get him to his swim lessons so Thankyou
Can’t believe my little one is starting her third year of swimming lessons! 🏊♀️ Iona is only 4 and already so confident in the water – it honestly makes me so happy to see how far she’s come. She absolutely loves going every week and always comes out with the biggest smile.
The instructors have been amazing from day one – super patient, encouraging, and they make the lessons so fun. It's been such a great way for her to build confidence and learn such an important life skill.
Highly recommend if you're thinking of getting your child into swimming. We've had such a great experience! 💙
Both my daughters have loved their lessons at Swim School. Both started at the age of 3 and they have learnt one of the most valuable skills anyone can have in life. During the last year my youngest was fortunate to be able to attend Swim School with her nursery class, she loved the lessons so much it was a no brainer to sign her up to weekly classes now she’s in reception. Joanne is an amazing teacher who has the patience to be able to make all the kids feel seen and provide life saving skills. We would highly recommend Swim School ❤️
The best swim school by far! My son has made immense progress in such a short space of time - all thanks to the amazing Megan and the team!
His confidence, technique and overall independence in the water is incredible - lots of different themes each week to get the kids fully engaged and certificates which they all love to get, not to mention the nurturing temperament towards them.
Can’t recommend swimschool enough! Friends have switched to swimschool because of the progress my son has made!
🏊♂️ ♥️
We cannot recommend Swim School enough! They have been absolutely fantastic with both of our children.
The staff are so well trained and they make lessons fun. They really encourage nervous children and as a result the children make progress really quickly.
My children are both brilliant swimmers and a lot of people have commented on how confident they are. It's all down to the hard work and dedication of the Swim School staff. Thank you Megan, Joanne and Vicky!
Definitely choose Swim School if you're looking to start swimming lessons.
Harriet has been going to swim school for 3 years & it’s still her favourite thing to do. Harriet screamed the place down for her first 2 lessons but has gone on to absolutely love it. She loves all the teachers and has come on so much and is now such a confident and able swimmer. Only seems like yesterday since she achieved her 5m & her Duckling 2 and she’s now has her water skills 4, 400m & stage 5 badges ❤️
Swim School are absolutely THE best! My daughter started and wouldn't jump in, for weeks Jo was so patient with her and encouraged her and gave her the confidence she needed, Freya can now swim confidently, unaided and loves jumping and diving in! Freya's brother is due to start this week and I cannot wait to see the progress with him! All the teachers are lovely and so patient with the children, would 100% recommend.
Brilliant swimming school. Instructors are in the water with the kids and have so much patience and understanding. My two kids have been swimming with them for over a year and both have swam 50meters with no aids. The kids confidence in the swimming pool on holiday this year was amazing! Would 100% recommend swim school.
