“Just a few weeks left then we will part from Splash after 9 years and both my kids have gone through it. The youngest is now at standard that with finishing primary school that she is done. Probably the best way to judge it is that twice we moved to Ogden Otters for 6 months or so each time due to it being closer and dates/times working better for us. However, twice we came back as Splash Bradford was simply way better (we used mostly St Bedes school but also Bradford Grammar School for a while). Ogden Otters told you how wonderful they were and how good their bespoke training pool was (and the water was warmer admittedly) but they were actually really poor. The pool was far too small, the lessons were of really poor quality. They would have a class of 6 and each child would do something with instructor whilst others waited at edge of pool. I took to timing Ogden Otters and on multiple occasions, I timed my daughter swimming for between 3 to 4 minutes in 30 minute lesson. At Splash, the classes are smaller with 4 maximum and often if kids don't turn up, my daughters have been in classes of 1 or 2. They ensure the kids are working almost constantly and with pool being much bigger than Ogden Otters, it all works way better. To my untrained eye, the lessons seem really good and the coaches know what they are doing. They are fun and the kids have always loved the 5 minutes at end when do fun things if they have worked hard. At end of day, I now have 2 kids who can swim with far better style than I ever had and I wish that I had Splash type lessons when I was young. Very happy to recommend them. One final thought, the communication and payment is also good and easy at Splash - you know where you stand. Ogden Otters amazingly took cash only and flat refused even a bank transfer. This was often inconvenient as don't carry cash anymore and if you were late, they imposed late penalty on you. It always felt like a tax fiddle which I don't approve of. Splash is all direct debits and clear communications.”

“Reliable service with reliable branded goods. They offer discounts. If you want to get work pants the waist will most likely be 2-3 inches bigger than what they’re written as. I appreciate them accepting my refund when I had the pants returned due to the sizing. But I still plan to buy from them again.”
