Sasiska has the patience of a saint, always working hard coming up with different games and ways to focus the kids to keep them learning, but in a fun way. Swimming is the highlight of Emily’s week; she wakes up most mornings announcing that that’s what we are doing today. It’s a wonderful thing to know that not only are you providing your child with a life skill but that they are loving every moment of it.

Both of my children absolutely love their lessons with Swimfun and the smaller class sizes and personal attention has meant they have improved so much, they have fun and don’t even realise they are working hard on their techniques! Would definitely recommend to anyone we won’t be going anywhere else!

Freddie has been with Swimfun now for 4-5 years. When we initially did 1-2-1 lessons with Swimfun, the teachers were so patient with him and made the lessons fun. Within a few sessions, his love of swimming returned; he was diving underwater in the deep end and before we knew it swimming independently. Within the space of a few months, he had progressed a billion times more than what he had with the previous swim school.

I am just so grateful for all of the extra time and patience from the staff while Ethan has been learning to swim. Ethan had such a bad phobia of water he would only stand in the bath, panicked whenever water went near his face or ears. Now he is not only jumping but leaping into the pool, swimming on his back and now finally learning front crawl and breathing techniques. He is like a different child and I really didn’t think we would ever get here.

We love Swimfun! We have tried other swim schools and hardly had any time in the water as other lessons were so busy. Vinnie’s confidence has grown so much since starting here and he genuinely has fun! Natasha is brilliant with Vinnie and it’s lovely to watch him having fun as well as learning. The lessons seem well planned and are never overcrowded. I would 100% recommend!
