I can't recommend the Initial Swim School enough. My daughter started here 2 years ago with Lindsay and now with Judith in the big pool. She has just completed her 200mtr and proving to be a strong & confident swimmer. She is absolutely over the moon with her progress, and loves that she can show her Grandparents, her certificates and badges to prove her hard work! :) I would recommend the Initial Swim School to everyone.

I can't speak highly enough of Initial Swim School. Both my daughters have learnt to swim there and have done so to an excellent standard, learning various techniques and being shown them in the correct manner. The instructors are patient, clear and have brilliant delivery of the lesson, meaning my girls have always felt comfortable and looked forward to the session. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who is looking to learn to swim.

Initial swim school is an amazing place to learn to swim or keep up the practice. The instructor are patient and knowledgeable and help you with every step until your comfortable. The swimming pool is a good length and the environment is good.

Initial swim school is a fantastic find! As someone who always felt a bit self-conscious learning to swim in mixed classes, the women-only environment here has been a game-changer. From the moment you walk in, there's a real sense of comfort and support.
The instructors are brilliant – patient, encouraging, and clearly very experienced. They understand the different anxieties and learning paces women might have, and they tailor their approach accordingly. I've gone from barely being able to float to feeling confident in the water, and it's all thanks to their expert guidance.
What I particularly appreciate is the relaxed and non-judgmental atmosphere. It's a space where you can truly focus on learning without feeling like you're being watched or compared to others. The camaraderie among the students is also lovely; there's a real sense of community building.
The class sizes are kept small enough to ensure individual attention. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to improve your technique, I wholeheartedly recommend Initial swim school. It's more than just learning to swim; it's about building confidence and feeling empowered in the water in a supportive and comfortable setting.

I started swimming lessons with Judith and Jenny in late July, by mid September I was swimming alone in my local pool, confidently and with the right technique. I couldn't swim at all when I started, within less than 8 weeks I'm swimming 20 lengths 3x a week! Judith and Jenny are really welcoming and understanding, putting you at ease and guiding you through your lessons and correcting techniques. I couldn't recommend them highly enough! If you're considering learning, get booked in and you'll be swimming confidently in no time!!

Both my children have now learnt at Initial Swim school. They went from being nervous in the water to confident and competent swimmers in the deep end doing all different strokes. Lindsay and Judith were both amazing and fantastic teachers, would highly recommend to anyone for learning such an important life skill.

I contacted this company on numerous occasions via telephone, left a voicemail and a text message over a space of 2 weeks to enquire for my son. No answer and no reply to my message. I have now joined with another swim school.
I feel this is really unprofessional of the company to not have the decency to even send a text message as a response.

Brilliant swim lessons for my daughter, she has had lessons from both Lindsay and Jenny. Both are a credit to the business, Sophie loves to get in to the water now (with a massive splash) and the progress she has made has been brilliant.

Fantastic swim school. My eldest daughter has been swimming for almost 3 yrs now and from a little girl who was very scared of the water she now swims with Judy and is a strong confident swimmer. My 3 year old started in September and is really coming on with her strokes. Fantastic teachers I cannot recommend highly enough. Claire
