Parents & babies gang - GOOD NEWS ­¤śå we have finally been offered a replacement GoPro ­¤śģ­¤Äē­¤ōĘ

­¤Ü©ŌÜĀ’ĖÅ­¤Ü©ŌÜĀ’ĖÅ­¤Ü©ŌÜĀ’ĖÅ­¤Ü©ŌÜĀ’ĖÅ­ ¤Ü©ŌÜĀ’ĖÅ­¤Ü©ŌÜĀ’ĖÅ­¤Ü© It is totally unacceptable for messages to reach our inbox full of animosity and anger. We will NOT tolerate this - these messages will be left unopened and the user will be banned immediately from our page.
We go above and beyond to accommodate swimmers but it must be understood that we can only allow this for a certain number of swimmers.
... We understand the importance of learning to swim hence why we chose this as our career. Carlie and I have been working tirelessly on this timetable to ensure that each child receives an appropriate lesson to suit their progression. I know we make a joke about how stressful this part can be but we make it this stressful because we want it to be the best! We pride ourselves on pushing EVERY single swimmer to their maximum potential and if that means keeping our numbers low then so be it.
We only run one lesson with use of the whole pool (6 swimmers per half hour), we want quality not quantity.
We are not in any competition with other swim schools, in fact we praise them because we understand how difficult it is to juggle over 100 childrenŌĆÖs names, parents names, progression statuses, badges etc.
Please bare in mind that there are only TWO people behind Aquastars. We are only human and we cannot physically respond to everyone within seconds. The majority of the posts produced on our page are scheduled so they are automatic. To put it in to perspective, we are currently offering spaces to those who signed up back in March.
We WILL be in contact if there is a space available, we want everyone to learn to swim.

Enrolment days for those paying in cash will take place on these dates.
ALL new swimmers MUST attend an enrolment day.

We will be sending out messages TODAY to those at the top of our waiting list, please respond ASAP. Please don't send a message to check if you are at the top of the list as this will only slow the process of booking on.

WhatŌĆÖs a Saturday morning without these precious swimmers. People often ask us how we do our jobs and the proof really is in the pudding. We LOVE teaching these kids! If you can already swim, the chances are you remember when you learnt or who taught you. ItŌĆÖs a life skill that we are prepared to make as fun and safe as possible. We donŌĆÖt feel like we are ŌĆśworkingŌĆÖ (until the new timetable comes around ­¤ś¼­¤śģ). #learntoswim #aquastarsswimschool #childrensswimming #STAswim #swimteacher

WOOHOO!! ­¤Äē­¤Æ½ our final summer crash was so heart warming. It was mainly filled with beginner swimmers who we are so pleased to have joining us for weekly lessons. The confidential which was grown throughout the short 5 days was just astounding. We went from no badges to badges, tears on the side to giant smiles in the water, from fears of jumping in to ŌĆśbiggest splashŌĆÖ competitions and even tears from parents who were just so chuffed with their swimmers progress. #intensiveswimming #swimmingcrashcourse #learntoswim #provatelessons #confidentinswimming #lifeskills #swimteacher #STAswim

OUR CURRENT WAITING LIST IS NOW CLOSED. We had only 6 spaces to reallocate to new swimmers this block which will run September-November/ December so to decrease the time for swimmers currently waiting we arenŌĆÖt taking on any new swimmers details until our list goes down.
We understand it can be very frustrating waiting to hear back and if we could offer 100 spaces we absolutely would.
... Thank you for your patience and understanding.

The new timetable is underway. If you have responded to the message with a preferred day we will do our best to honour that. Please consider the day and time we initially offer you is where we believe your swimmer should be based on their current progress.

­¤Æź­¤śā HAPPY BANK HOLIDAY ­¤śā­¤Æź Just a quick message to say THANK YOU to everyone who is or has been a part of our Aquastars family.
Enjoy your bank holiday.
... Our inbox may be a little quiet this week as we are taking a well deserved week off (baby classes will still run) since lessons have been running straight since January.
ŌŁÉ’ĖÅ The timetable is in the process of being put together but please bare in mind that this can often take a few weeks. ŌŁÉ’ĖÅ Enrolment days and payment dates will be announced with plenty of notice.

­¤ÆŚ­¤żŚ WE LOVE CRASH COURSES! ­¤żŚ­¤ÆŚ
A HUGE well done to Tobias showing amazing skills over 5 short lessons this week. His journey has been amazing and he has progressed so quickly.

Our little stars are just a dream to teach!
Super chuffed with Ossian achieving his 50m badge this week in just 2 blocks of lessons.
ŌŁÉ’ĖÅWELL DONE OSSIAN! ŌŁÉ’ĖÅ

Would highly recommend this fantastic swim school. Carlie & Steph are soooo patient with my very excitable, easily distracted 4 year old. They had Evie swimming within the 5 days of her one to one course. Swim classes average 4-6 pupils with 2 instructors, so the children are still getting great instruction.

The improvement in my little girl is unbelievable, Heidi has gone from being too scared to enter the water to swimming with a float on without adult support before reaching 2 and a half years old :). Despite Steph being Heidi's auntie the progress she has made is fantastic!

The best thing I done was to start Phoebe here for lessons! Steph and Carly are amazing with the children and make it a fun way for them to learn how to swim,I would recommend them to anyone especially if your little one is a bit scared of the water they certainly won't be after having lessons at Aquastars swim school! Phoebe has just finished her 1st crash course and has enjoyed every minute of it even had tears coming from there! Now more lessons in September and she can't wait! Thank you girls! ’┐Į

Thank u for today Ayla is a very chuffed little girl she can now go on her own ’┐Į and on her 4th lesson!! Very recommended ’┐Į

Sumer loved her crash course, it was amazing seeing her progress over the week. Both Steph and Carlie were really encouraging and amazing with not only Sumer but the whole group.

At the start Sumer was very nervous but she is so excited to carry on with Steph and learn more. Sumer can't wait to start her 10 week swimming block next week! ’┐Į’┐Į’┐Į

Scarlett loved her first lesson today. Absolutely brilliant with the children! Would highly recommend ’┐Į

Just returned from a 10 day cruise and was so pleased with the confidence my son now has in the water as a result of two crash courses with Aquastars. Highly recommended A+++

If there was one club you would look to better your childŌĆÖs swim/confidence this is the place to book guys! Amazing techniques and fantastic developments with confidence very quickly! ’┐Į

I couldn't recommend aquastars enough!! Both my children have been having lessons, one to one and group and they have come on leaps and bounds thanks to Steph! My 6 year old was not water confidant but after 3 lessons he was achieving things I never thought I'd see!

Had a fantastic swim this morning with Archer really welcoming loved every minute of it cheers aqua stars!!

From not being able to get Rosie mai in to what she has achieved now is a massive improvement and it's all thanks to you girls you are so amazing and I can't thank you enough for all the hard work you have done

First lesson today and it was brilliant! Alexandros already cant wait for next week! Would definately recommend Aquastars!!!! Xx

Ems loved her lesson today. Would recommend to anyone with a little one learning to swim! Xx

As a dad I was anxious about going with my lil girl, as knew it would be mostly mums and lil ones..... Yes i was the only dad there, but it was so relaxed and great fun I/we loved every minute of it, thank you see you next week ’┐Į’┐Į’┐Į’┐Į

Aquastars swim school is absolutely amazing, helped my daughter no end, her confidence is now is spot on, from screaming crying when going to abercynon sports Centre for lessons to being so excited to go swimming every week ’┐Į.. Both instructors Carlie and steph are fantastic..

Amazing! I took my son swimming with aquastars from when he was 8 weeks old and he loves the water now. IŌĆÖm much more confident in taking him swimming myself and canŌĆÖt wait until he is old enough to learn to swim on his own! Carlie and Steph are amazing and allow you to do everything at your own pace, even putting my son underwater (with amazing underwater photos to prove it!) looking forward to the next block booking already!

Amazing environment, with such friendly and supportive teachers. My children loved the crash course and have learned so much and gained in confidence ready for holidays at the poolside! Thank you so much xx

Absolutely amazing. My daughter had very little experience with swimming and lacked confidence in the water. She completed the half term crash course and has come on brilliantly. The girls are so encouraging of the children and really helped her gain confidence in the water. I canŌĆÖt recommend these guys enough. Fantastic. IŌĆÖm going to book more lessons for her to go weekly, sheŌĆÖs already missing it ’┐Į

Absolutely amazing. Brilliant with the kids. Very patient, friendly, helpful, easy to talk to. Highly recommended xx
