   My two kids have been to many swim schools in the past none of which were able to build their confidence or take their needs into consideration. Not their fault but it's hard to develop a trusting relationship. 2.5 years ago I got them to do a crash course 1:2 session with Jess, who has been nothing short of a miracle maker. She got them swimming and loving being in water. Since then we have opted for 1:2 weekly lessons. My oldest who wouldn't even put their face underwater is now aiming for their Silver Survival badge, and my youngest who is autistic just love swimming. It's costly but so worth it being able to learn a life skill such as swimming. I cannot rate the staff enough for thei understanding and support. The facilities are good and lessons never crowded. Jess is the best!

   I learnt to swim at this pool several years ago. The pool is fine and my teacher was pleasant. BUT if you book private 1 to 1 lessons as an adult be careful as it is only for 30 mins and by London standards is very expensive. This isn't made clear on the booking form.

   My children just finished their half term crash course, with Nathan as a teacher, and it was excellent! I had doubts about the length of the pool for my daughter as she is already a great swimmer but it was absolutely fine and she perfected some aspects of her swimming. Nathan was very engaging and the kids thoroughly enjoyed the week! Thank you.

   I have taken my children to this pool for lessons for 11 years. Both children not only enjoyed the lessons, but have also become proficient swimmers. The staff are universally lovely and I won't know what to do with myself when I stop taking the children to classes every week! Thank you to everyone for so many successful and enjoyable years.

   My child has been with Oakley Park School of Swimming for almost 7 years and we have had the most amazing experience with them, we have tried other schools and nothing compares to Oakleigh Park. The level of training, the teachers, the technic is very professional. The pool itself shows you how clean and good attention the dedicated to it. I will always recommend them. Thank you for your hard work.

   Fantastic facility for families. We booked the whole pool for an hour. Friendly staff, lovely quiet location, ample parking and a selection of swimming items for sale and also refreshments available. We had a lovely time.

   I don't know or care about how well they actually run the swimming class as I haven't even been able to book any yet, the website and administration is absolutely shambles. My previous booking was cancelled due to weather condition staff not able to come to work, my money were credited to my account rather than refund to me. I have been looking into a crash course to spend this forever. I am disappointed as everything should've not been so difficult for a kids swimming club! I will hopefully book my one off lesson and shake this situation off.

   I am done trying to explain my concerns to this school. Again today I tried to speak to the older lady that works there and she told me to send my concerns over email. So here I am. This lady becomes really rude and stand-offish as soon as you have a concern. My daughter has been going here for 4 terms now and they STILL do not move her up to a higher class, she got her badge for 20 meters but still has kids that are beginners in her class. Today was badge day, I watched eagerly in the rain and my daughter just played on her own without any real lesson at all because the smaller kids required all the attention. When I asked what badge she should get they told me 20 meters, I told them she barely did 1 lap today…the lady then told me leeya had done the 20 meters last week?! Not even on badge day? Why is it so hard to group together children with the same level of skill?! All your doing is slowing down progress. Instead of speaking to me and trying to understand my frustrations the lady just told me to not join again. So there you have it. Basically this place is fine for babies and beginners. Anything more is a waste of time and money. Your kids will just be left to play on the sidelines.
