Swim lessons
Jan was great in really refining my technique. Initially i was not able to swim more than 50 metres without being entirely out of breathe, whereas now I can do laps of 500 metres relatively consistently. This is only after a couple of weeks of lessons too, so i would highly recommend.
Robert was great
The swim instructor, Robert, had endless patience and enthusiasm and encouraged me every lesson. He was able to identify the specific actions I needed to take to improve my swimming.
A change of instructor was actually a good thing!
After a short course Daisy had got over her fear of putting her face in water
She then finished the second course with a new instructor and was even more confident and excited to start another course with Dawn. Completely recommend X
Excellent!
We’ve recently changed teachers, and have had a great experience so far with Dawn, based at the Hythe Imperial, Hythe, Kent.
She’s extremely patient with our children, and very organised and supportive.
She’s always at the lesson on time & prepared. We’ve been really impressed!
Swim expert Hythe- Dawn
Dawn is extremely patient with my energetic 3 Year old. She always goes at his pace and in the 5 sessions he has had so far his confidence and ability in the water have really improved!
A very positive experience.
I have been very impressed with all my dealings with Swim Expert. My initial telephone enquiry was handled professionally and in a friendly and helpful manner. The portal is easy to navigate and use. I really appreciated the weekly teacher reports. My teacher, Sean was excellent. Very Kind, caring and encouraging. He listened to my questions and thoughts and tailored my lessons to my needs. I have achieved the goals I set for myself, and would consider returning to Swim Expert in the future if I need more help and guidance.
Thank you Alex
Our daughter has just finished two years of swimming lessons with her instructor Alex. Over this time her confidence has grown significantly. She started unable to put her head under the water and was very timid. Now, through Alex’s patience she is very water confident and loves swimming under the water. With Alex’s help our daughter has also learnt to swim well and has passed many of the Swim England stages. She even loves swimming on her back and is happy to do so.
Thank you very much Alex for all your help, patience and support. It is really appreciated.
Excellent swimming instructor and very good

Omar has been a great instructor
Omar has been a great instructor for my 5 year old granddaughter. He is immensely kind, caring and manages to make every lesson fun while ensuring she makes good progress. She thinks he swims as well as her favourite pufferfish! We will miss him.

Classes frequently being cancelled
High turnover of the instructors, so many booked classes being cancelled. I have already paid more for flexible plan but all purchased classes have to be consumed within 12 months, so sadly many purchased classes lost without having the lessons. Forget about this company and go for another.
Fantastic with my SEN child
My daughter has ASD and ADHD so can find it hard to concentrate and stay engaged but the teachers have been great at adapting and advising when quieter sessions are available to aid her learning . She has made fantastic progress this year and gained many badges ! Very satisfied

Good swimming school! Love the teachers!
My daughter swims with Hydro Kids for 4 years now and really enjoys the lessons. She gets upset when the swimming is cancelled ;) She always is looking forward to receive a certificate for her next level. Certainly Hydro Kids is doing a good job!

Highly recommend for swimming lessons
The group sizes are small which is great for the children. The website is great with reports provided each week to detail child’s progress, including percentages of completion for each course and targets that need to be met for completion.
The lead teacher makes time to catch up with parents during the session, ensuring parents are happy with progress and are informed of any changes as the child moves up through the stages.
We have been to a few swim classes and this one is by far the best. I recommend these classes and the Mary Hare location.

We visit the sqim expert sessions at the maryhare school the class is always calm and engaging the children love going and have learnt so much from the teachers..
Previously swam at raddam where we didn't like the atmosphere it was too chaotic and disorganised... but Mary Hare is fantastic it's much more organised and structured and staff are so friendly and helpful.

Good lessons and teachers, pool can be cold
Good lessons and teachers. Issue ongoing that the pool water is on the cold side, which at times has been very intolerable for my (almost) 6 year old.
