New found confidence in the water!

My 4-year-old absolutely loves her swimming lessons! We really struggled to find a class where she’d feel comfortable without a parent in the water, but since joining Seriously Fun she’s been completely at ease with her instructor. I also love that there are extra instructors on the pool deck who engage with the kids - it feels like a really supportive setup with a great staff-to-child ratio.

The best!

My little boy has been swimming with Claire and her team since he was 3- he’s now nearly 6 and his confidence in the water is AMAZING. All the teachers are amazing at creating lessons which are safe, fun and nurturing! Jack has the best time and his swimming lesson is his favourite part of the week.

Instructors are amazing

Instructors are amazing! Our 6 year old loves the swimming lessons with them and has become a lot lore confidence and improved significantly since we changed them to this swimming school! The instructors are warm, professional, and know exactly how to keep kids engaged while teaching safety and technique. They are also great at tracking their progress and spotting the right time to move them to the next stage. Also, the facilities are spotless!

Highly recommended swimming classes

I’ve been with seriously fun for the last few years and my daughter has improved so much with her swimming. She makes progress every term and is rewarded with a certificate and sticker. The teachers are brilliant, never have I seen anyone lose patience. They are always encouraging and have done particularly well with some children with special needs or challenging behaviours. I highly recommend Seriously Fun Swimming to other parents.

Worth the money

The small class sizes and the more personal experience you get from the team at seriously fun swimming is worth the money. I have 3 kids and the team are very considerate at trying to make sure they are in the same class time or at least back to back when needing to move one of them up to the next stage. Even my son, who has ASD and ADHD, and normally struggles with any activity after school, let alone one in a very sensory environment, has thrived and looks forward to his lessons. All 3 of them have come on leaps and bounds. Thank you to everyone at SFW

Seriously Fun Swimming School has been…

Seriously Fun Swimming School has been fantastic for my daughter. She had been swimming elsewhere for 6 months but there was no progression. When she joined Seriously Fun Swimming she was pushed from day one, assessed to see what level she was currently on and within 6 months she moved up by 4 levels. I find the company very organised and the instructors are good at what they do. My daughter loves coming to her swimming lessons. Thank you

Great team

Great team, very patient. My son enjoys going every week and has made exceptional progress. In 7 months from not being able to swim at all to being able to confidently swim on his back and front is amazing.
The certificates and progress chart is a fab way to encourage the children and track progress. Would definitely recommend.

My 5 year old son joined seriously fun nearly a year ago now! How he’s progressed from his very first lesson where he was too scared to even get in the water to now where he loves it every week! The instructors are brilliant and each lesson my son has grown in confidence and is now swimming without armbands! Would highly recommend.
