Pool safety equipment in London

“Have been taking my 6 year old daughter for 3:1 swimming lessons with Brian at Swimming Class UK since she was 3 years. When she started she was afraid of getting her face wet. Now she is a confident and strong swimmer. She loves the lessons and it's a joy watching her learn and grow.”

“I've been having regular lessons from Lindsay for three months now, and the swimming lessons are really excellent. Lindsay has a wealth of technical knowledge and swimming experience that really shows. She also is a great coach, technique is taught clearly and she adapts what to focus on in each lesson based on my individual ability and current progress - this helps make the learning process more effective and learning technique more digestible. Lindsay has a patient and energetic coaching style, and I'm seeing great progress against my own swim goals - thank you! I'm fairly new to the triathlon world, and prior to starting with Turner Swim, I've previously really struggled with swimming, and nearly gave up triathlons as a result. However, I decided to get lessons with Turner Swim - I'm so pleased I did! I'm more confident, and my swimming progress has been greater than I personally expected so I'm really pleased!”

“Very beautifu kids playground with swimming pool for toddlers. You can enjoy with kids family walking alone others side has big open water swimming pond for men's and women's”

“The place is super popular for family with children. The place is reasonably spacious and suitable for picnic for the whole family and friends. On weekends, it's usually overcrowded, though well-maintained. Children are quite safe as they are enclosed by a fence with security guards at the entrance.”

“When we moved homes last year, we did not think the 20 year old pool would be usable. However, Darren worked hard to get it operating and we enjoyed it over the hot summer. This year, he changed the filter and valves, making the pool feel brand new! Would highly recommend his work.”

“Great local swimming pool maintenance firm, highly recommend”

“Wonderful! Instructors are brilliant. Classes are fun and engaging for the little ones to learn this key life skill. Great value and service. Highly recommended.”

“Martin, Luke and team built our pool earlier this year. Following months of rain, they took great care in ensuring our garden did not end up a mud bath during the build. The end result is great. They also serviced the pool throughout the summer which meant the pool is ready to go whenever the sun appeared. Would highly recommend.”

“I went here for the first time, for some women-only swimming time. I went swimming when I was younger, so I thought it would be a piece of cake. Well, needless to say, I almost drowned. A wonderful lifeguard, quite frankly rescued me, from what otherwise would've been a complete disaster. I am INCREDIBLY grateful to her and the other lifeguard, who taught me a few swimming tips. I will be taking swimming classes, starting next week, but I'd like to give a huge thank you to the staff here- THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤️❤️”

“Very friendly, polite and helpful. I would highly recommend them for all your swimming pool supplies.”

“I had an initial problem with the pump I bought but they reacted very quickly to sort the problem for me. Great service, would buy again.”

“Swim weekly at this pool. Since being taken over by Better in January 2024, the staff, upkeep and management of the pool has really improved. There are more times to swim, the pool is a good temperature, and the facilities during the day are very clean and tidy. Changing rooms recently repainted and repairs always taking place, which is very different to previous management by Fusion. The staff are friendly and reliable, and there’s a community of regulars. It’s an old pool but very welcoming and suits me perfectly. My child also has swimming lessons here and it’s a delight seeing her progress from a splashy mess to a decent back-crawl in nine months - the changing room is dirtier during evening lessons but that’s because parents/carers and children leave their shoes on.”

“Bus stop near the Pools On The Park Leisure Centre. Bus number 490.”

“My son has been swimming with Goggle Squad since November and is really enjoying it. His confidence around the water has always been great but he’s been making rapid progress with the actual swimming since starting. The small classes with children of similar age really allow the teacher to focus on each child individually and the pool facilities are great too!”

“Great facilities, and very appropriate for children. My 4.5-year-old is enjoying his swimming lessons a lot, and keeps asking when the next lesson will be. The teachers are patient and are fully aware of the different capabilities of the age groups they are working with. All in all, a fantastic experience, and I look forward to my kid continuing there in terms to come.”

“My son is half way through his first term at Great Waves Kenley. He has made excellent progress learning to swim each week. He is given lots of attention and direction, and the wonderful instructors are patient and encouraging. We will be signing up our youngest child very soon. Thank you Great Waves!”

“My son has been attending classes here from 3-5 years old and it has been great. They have very small groups and get them used to being comfortable in the water. It is also very personal and Fiona, who I have been working with to manage things, has been always very flexible in finding a slot for Gaspard despite a lot of changing priorities on our side.”

“Large playground with something to suit all ages. Does get very busy during holidays but it’s easily accessible in the park with a small steam train next door one side and a splash park the other. Also there is a nice and friendly cafe next to the park with hot or cold food.”

“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”

“My family and I went today to Sky Dive for the first time to celebrate a birthday. We had the best time ever. Charlie & Ollie took such wonderful care of us and were extremely patient with all the picture taking & posing. They ensured the kids & adults enjoyed the experience. Would highly recommend”

“We attended the BSUPA Level 1 Paddleboard course. Our instructor was calm, understanding and inspired confidence. He was also incredibly knowledgeable. We felt safe and confident with him. Good solid advice on bouancy aids, and equipment followed up with excellent advice on how to use it. On the water we learned how to paddle laying down, then kneeling and finally we ALL got up. None of us fell in. We paddled a little and then it was time to deliberately fall in so we could practice getting back on....Again, everyone managed to get back on!! This is a sign of great coaching! More paddling and practicing on/off, maneuvers and steering..and then we were taught stepback turns, and encouraged to get further and further back on the board. We went from nervous shaky wobbly beginners to confident paddlers twirling on the spot with stepback turns....again ALL of us were doing this! Incredible! If you want to learn Paddleboarding, get down there now, you wont regret it. Best money I have spent! Thank you HYMB!!”

“We had a lovely time here for a 5 year old birthday party. We liked that there were separate areas for under-3s and under-2s so that they could play safely. The staff were very friendly and joined in the birthday celebrations.”

“My dog came back smelling so good, his nails were also trimmed very well. The staff are very nice and try to accommodate the grooming according to your dog. Highly recommend this place for bath, nail clipping, ear cleaning and anal gland expression. Their pricing is very reasonable and charged us £30 (everything included).”
