Great teachers and support

All the teachers are so patient and supportive. They interact so well with the children and adapt their communication with my daughter with SEN to make her feel comfortable at times when she might struggle.

Now swimming unaided!

My little one has learnt to swim with seriously fun swim school & has thoroughly enjoyed it.
It's confidence boosting with fun instructions & games, they learn safety skills like floating, kicking, and getting comfortable with submersion. I feel group lessons help with interaction and the children learn from each other with instructors that are encouraging, open & warm.

Our two children had been doing swimming lessons at the local pool for a couple of years. However, our youngest was making no real progress, and our eldest had stopped progressing as she was terrified of the deep end of the pool. Every week was a battle with tears all round!

Since changing to Seriously Fun Swimming, everything has changed. They now both love their lessons and the progress they have made is incredible - they are like different children!

Small class size

Small class size. Teachers interact with children enthusiastically at all times. Each child is taught as an individual despite being with others in the group. Emails and verbal communication clear and efficient.

The best place to learn

The teaching team is very supportive and helpful. My kids enjoy the lessons so I don’t have to drag them for swimming lessons on a weekend. They have progressed well and the swimming confidence has increased. The facilities and cleanliness is also worth a 5 star ranking. Cheers to the entire team

It was easy to find a time that was convenient for my kids. The teacher is friendly, professional and great with my girls. Their confidence in the water has grown and they’re so excited to go every week. I can really see a difference in their abilities already and it’s only been 6 weeks.
