my boys have had swimming lessons here for a few years now. my 4 year old only started when he was 3. he's always been a bit timid in the water and always relied on having the safety of armbands on. however....... 2 weeks in of having josh teach him and he's off swimming widths with no armbands and a smile on his face! my eldest is also doing very well under Lee's guidance and roll on September when my littlest one can start preschool lessons too!

User

my 2 girls have attended a crash course this week with Lee teaching . what a great job he did x Thank you Lee they have learnt so much in such a short space of time and you was so good with them x highly recommend x

User

We recently used Swimming Tales for a birthday party for my 8 year old and I have to say everything about the party, facility and staff was amazing.



The staff were helpful and friendly, they were also really good with all the children (even keeping the cheeky ones in check!).



All of the kids loved the party and had loads of fun!



10/10... Highly recommended!

User

The staff i have seen teaching pre-schoolers has been amazing and each are worth their weight in gold. Their mannerism and style of teaching is fantastic best place i have ever witnessed such accomodating and various styles of teaching to suit the individual. My little boy has 1-1 with Josh, he is now so confident in the water and can now swim unaided.

User

My twins went on the week crash course after never really swimming before, day 1 they cried the whole time as they couldn't touch the floor, by day 5 they were swimming widths, great course and Perry was fab with the kids. Can't wait to return next week for a 1 to 2 with Josh. Thank you again for being so great with them :)

User

My son has just finished his first term of swimming lessons. At the beginning of the first lesson he clung to the teacher, the teacher (Lee) was patient with him and he soon got him to hold on to the rail with the other children. Lee has definitely gained my boys trust and he has been great with him, I can't believe how my son has grown in confidence and ability in just 6 weeks. Looking forward to his next term. Thank you!

User

My daughter has swimming lessons with swimming tales and they are the best lessons she has had the teacher is in the pool with her and the classes aren’t huge either. We did 2 1-1 lessons with lee he was brilliant with kenzi chatted to her so she was comfortable with him and she swam amazingly with him we were so proud of her and by the end of the lesson they were like best friends hahaha

User

My 9 yr old mermaid had an amazing party today! Thank you so much to everyone involved. Easy party as a parent,and all 29 kids had an amazing time! Highly recommend xxx

User

Lovely couple of hours cooling off in the pool with the children. The pool was clean and tidy and not too packed. We booked to avoid disappointment. The staff were very friendly and lovely to have music swimming along too. Will definitely be back next time we visit �

User

Just wanted to say a BIG Thank you to the team that went out of their way to help Isabella celebrate her 8th birthday party. Very friendly efficient and helpful.

Children had smiles on their faces the whole time. They all thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Will definitely be recommending to friends. Thank you very much �

User

I would thoroughly recommend Swimming Tales to anyone thinking of having a swim party for their kids. Everyone had a wonderful time and we were so impressed with the pool, the inflatable games and everything that was put on for the kids and the professionalism of the staff. Tracy couldn't have been more helpful in organising the perfect party for our daughter. A big thumbs up �

User

Hi Tracey

Had my sons 6th birthday party here �. Him and his friends had the best time. Great as you hire the whole swimming pool for the 2 hours including the party room for after the swimming. Great party games in the pool (run by the life guards)-which kept the children fully entertained and happy. All staff where friendly and very helpful. I would definitely recommend this as a party venue!!!

Granddaughter had 121 with Lee and he was a brilliant teacher. She also has weekly lessons in a class and has gained so much confidence. Briilant swim school

User

Excellent swimming school for all ages. My 3 year old son wouldn’t even get in a pool but within 10 minutes the instructor managed to get him in and playing. They are excellent with children and interact with them on a level that they understand and trust. Now my son wants to come every day. He’s learning so quickly here and defiantly recommend Swimming Tales � �

User

Can’t recommend Swimming Tales enough. Friendly, accommodating staff who are willing to help out however they can. We’ve had 2 of our children having lessons here for the passed 5 years and are looking forward to starting with our third tomorrow. We’ve also held a birthday party here which, again, was simply brilliant and is something that we will be repeating!

User

After not swimming for nearly 9 months our daughter had lost confidence in the pool and in her ability to swim. I see the advert for the holiday intense swim course and I can't recommend it enough. We booked in for last week and Liam was fantastic, we started to see an improvement so booked in for this week as well with Josh. It's like looking at a different child swim. She was so happy when she got out the pool after her lesson today and loved the fun swim at the end.
