   My son started with Dolphin babies and Becky when he was around 12 weeks old. Through Covid Becky kept up his water confidence with swimming in the bath over zoom. He is now 4 and loves his swimming lessons with Amanda. I couldn’t recommend dolphin babies and dolphin academy more for giving your little ones water confidence. Swimming is a life skill which Becky and the team have mastered to teach little ones with fun!

   I joined this swimming school following a difficult experience with my son which affected his confidence in the water and his ability to swim independently. Fast forward 6 months and he has just gained his 25m certificate. Amanda's nurturing style (but also firm when needed) has meant that both he and my little girl have flourished. I highly recommend them. The only downside is you are unable to watch them at the pool side that we go to which I think I would have found difficult if it was their first time. However, I would have no problem if I was considering sending another child as my children are very happy and comfortable here and I always stick around and watch the first and last 5 minutes.

   My experience with dolphin academy has been absolutely fantastic! Enrolling my child in their swimming classes was one of the best decisions I’ve made. The instructors are not only highly skilled but also incredibly patient and encouraging. They know how to work with children of all ages and skill levels, making every lesson enjoyable and stress-free. My child was a bit nervous at first, but the instructors’ warm and friendly approach quickly put them at ease.

   The BEST swim school EVER. Both of my children attend this swim school and have since being babies. My little boy swam a length aged 3 and this is down to the amazing teachers, facilities and lesson structures. Above all, Dolphin promote water safety and encourage your child to learn life saving skills from the baby stage. Couldn’t recommend Dolphin enough. Amazing.

   We have been attending Dolphin babies since the New Year with our baby who was 3 months old at the time that he started his swimming lessons. When choosing a swim school, it was important to us that both my husband and I could attend the session with our baby as he has bad eczema which takes us both to get him ready before and after the session. For this reason, it was also important that the venue has good family changing facilities. When I have contacted Dolphin babies, Becky has been very informative and accomodating. The instructors have all been lovely and as a family, we all look forward to the session each week. My husband goes in the pool with our baby and enjoys the bonding time with him. We love that our baby is developing a vital life long skill and we can already see improvement from his first lesson. Our only wish is that the pool was warmer but that is of no fault of dolphin babies. We always recommend dolphin babies and were pleased when a friend booked the sessions for her baby too.

   My child has been attending dolphin academy since she was 8 weeks old - including having water time at home during lockdown. In that time she had had Becky, Paige & Amanda as swimming teachers. Each one of them are faultless. She has progressed so much; before lockdown she was almost swimming independently but after lockdown she was really anxious of the water but has overcome so much & is now down to her last set of armbands! We wouldn’t go anywhere else for lessons and will be enrolling our youngest baby.

   As a swimming teacher myself I would highly recommend. I have never seen kids progress so well. No other swim school in the area comes close to the standard of teachers here. All my family and friends attend. Amazing!
