   We moved to Next Level last year after spending 9 years at another academy, and honestly, my daughter has made more progress in the last 6 months here than in the previous 3 years elsewhere. This is entirely thanks to the incredible teaching staff. From day one, Nikki has been amazing—assessing my daughter, guiding us to the right class, and helping us choose the best swimming activities (and they have plenty!). The late evening classes are brilliant—no traffic, no rushing around. The water polo camp was a real highlight—well organised, affordable, and so much fun for the kids. My daughter learned new skills, made friends, and couldn’t wait to go back each day. One thing that really stands out is how attentive the teachers are. They watch the kids constantly, guide them, and truly listen to them. My daughter absolutely loves going, leaves every lesson with a big smile, and can’t wait to tell me what she’s learned. Parents can also watch the classes, and the teachers are always approachable if you need to speak to them. Communication is excellent—you receive detailed progress reports, but you can also just have a friendly chat with the staff. They are incredibly encouraging and supportive of the kids. Honestly, it’s wonderful and refreshing to see such dedication. Thank you so much and see you soon! Leah & Ira x

   Thank you Nikki , Cloae and Abbie . My daughter joined crash course Stage 5 swimming lessons for two weeks , and I was really impressed with how it was handled. The course included swimming multiple lengths using front crawl, backstroke, and breaststroke, as well as treading water and a safe entry into the pool. The instructor gave clear instructions and offered supportive, honest feedback after the lesson . It was great to see how much We progress she’s made with her stamina and technique since Stage 4. The crash course felt calm and encouraging — not overly pressured — and well-managed. I’d definitely recommend this program for any parent looking for structured, skill-based swim development.

   Best swimming school with the most patient and skilled teachers! Cannot thank everyone enough. My son started last year totally petrified, not of the water, but of the separation of a parent not being in the water. They put everything in place to make sure he was okay and now, we have a boy who has grown in confidence not only in the water but out thanks to teachers who care about these kids and are there to teach them not just a swim lesson but an important life skill and do this so brilliantly. Thank you Nikki to you and your whole team. We will always be grateful and cannot wait to continue the journey.

   Thank you Next level and Nikki in particular. In the space of 7 months of weekly lessons and a 1 week crash course, my daughter has gone from petrified of the water to swimming without any floats and absolutely loving swimming! They make swimming fun, the children don’t even realise they are learning, half the challenge is gaining confidence and getting that breakthrough. So happy with her progress and it’s given her a massive boost to her self esteem outside of swimming too! Thank you x

   We started at Next Level Swimming just over 6 years ago and have been fortunate that our daughter has always had a fantastic teacher at each stage. From the days of crying when about to enter the pool to swimming full lengths - you could say is has been a journey. In stage 5, she had a teacher called Laura and she was amazing and just like all other teachers played a hand in the continuing improvement in our daughter's swimming ability. Nikki who runs the swim school is also very good as she is approachable, gives factual feedback and helps the children when it looks like they might just need a nudge or encouragement. There is regular testing and assessments to rate achievements and help make decisions on moving onto the next stage. All the staff are lovely and helpful. Next Level Swimming has amazing in teaching my daughter who is now a very confident swimmer. I would personally recommend Next Level Swimming to anyone who asks.

   I nearly cancelled my daughters swimming lessons due to how scared of the water she was over the summer. Nikki suggested trying out 3 lessons and if it’s no change then we can differ to next term. After the 3 lessons it was tears after the lesson not before! I can’t believe the difference 1 term has made in my child. She is now super confident and happy in the water. Thank you Next Level

   Incredibly well run swim school. Lessons start and finish on the dot of the allocated time. Lessons are taught by expert coaches who genuinely care about improving both confidence and swimming technique. Cannot recommend highly enough.

   NLSA has been great so far: polite and helpful members of staff, and the online assessment hub where you can monitor the swimming teacher's assessment of your child's progress is excellent.
