Libby

This is a great place for your kids to learn how to swim. It is spotlessly clean and secure. The greeting at reception is friendly and efficient. First and foremost though, the swimming instructors are first class. You can see the improvement in the children's ability week on week. The kids love it and can't wait to go back. Well done all involved.

Excellent lessons. My little one has come on so much since taking swim lessons. Im really proud of her and the teachers are amazing.

Swim is an excellent facility! Always clean and well maintained. Staff are friendly and welcoming and there’s always someone around if you need anything. Every week the teacher gives her encouragement and the reassurance she needs to attempt new things. We are really pleased we signed up and are enjoying watching our daughter progress.
