Swim training programs in London

“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!”

“My daughter has been swimming with Colin since she was 4. Really friendly and flexible teachers. They make swimming fun and interesting.”

“I am glad my kids joined the ISA. I feel it is rare to find a swimming place that gives your children one to one session. Most places provide group sessions, therefore it's great ISA exist. My kids teacher Yasmine is a great teacher she engages the kids during the lesson in a fun way and is also aware every child different learning needs.”

“Earlier this year, I enrolled in the open water swimming lessons proposed by Turner Swim at the Docklands Sailing & Watersports Centre, and have really enjoyed them. Coaches Thomas & Andrew were very approachable and knowledgeable, which helped me gain confidence in doing open water swimming for the first time. Over the 6 sessions together, I gained enough confidence in my swimming abilities to enroll for the annual 1 mile swim they organize. Having only recently learning swimming, I have been pleased with that. I highly recommend these lessons, and working with Coach Thomas & Andrew more generally - in a pool or at the Docklands Centre. I am now a regular at the Centre during the open season. Thomas, Andrew: Thank you for your guidance & help!”

“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!”

“We really love the team at Seriously FUN Swimming. Our boys have such fun at their Sunday morning lessons and have become confident swimmers. Each instructor at every level is expertly suited to guide the kids through their lessons and milestones. The structure that is in place is best in class and we're thrilled with the progression both of our boys are showing whilst keeping the fun element for them. Highly recommend Seriously FUN Swimming!”

“Our son is leaning with Nadia now and we couldn't have asked for a more diligent swimming instructor. Our son loves his swimming lesson time on Sundays and looks forward to it with excitement. Focusing more on technic rather than playing in the water. Individual attention is definitely helping our son with his confidence in water. Highly recommend”

“Ariadne is an amazing swimming teacher! She is patient,encouraging and makes every lesson fun and engaging. My daughter has grown so much in confidence and skill thanks to her guidance. We truly appreciate her dedication ad positive energy!”

“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!”

“I would highly recommend our swimming instructor Louis. He has a gentle approach and patience creating a positive environment for my 9-month-old daughter. Louis expertise ensures a safe and enjoyable introduction to the water, fostering confidence in little swimmers.”

“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.”

“Both my children attend Seriously Fun Swimming and love the lessons. They have become super confident swimmers thanks to the patient and kind teachers at SFS! They look forward to going to lessons each week and the teachers make it fun a particular highlight being the end of term certificate presentation and “fun week”! I would wholeheartedly recommend SFS to all parents looking to get their children swimming confidently and loving the water!!x”

“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”

“We are incredibly grateful to 3S Swim for the amazing swimming experience they provided for our children. Unfortunately, we have to discontinue their lessons as we are moving to a different city, but we wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt thanks. Both boys absolutely loved every moment of their lessons. The teachers at 3S Swim not only helped them build confidence in the water but also made every session fun and engaging. Their love for swimming and the skills they've developed are a testament to the exceptional teaching they received. A special thank you to their incredible teachers—Katie, Denz, Enrique, and Adam—whose dedication and patience made all the difference. We’ll always look back fondly on their time at 3S Swim and carry forward what they've learned as they continue their swimming journey. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything. Wishing the entire 3S Swim team all the very best!”

“We had our first experience at Aquabelle this evening, we booked a private hire for one hour. The whole set up is great, a one one system worked perfectly for all. Plenty of pool noodles, floats and other toys for the children (and oldies). Walk in was perfect for the disabled members of our group. Water was a great temperature. We were unable to find the light switch but did have a contact number to call if we needed assistance (was light enough for our swim) so didn't want to bother the hosts. We had a great time and will deffinatly be booking again soon. I read other reviews before we went and did notice one of the floor "crates/drains" when exiting to the dressing room were slightly lifted but this would not have changed out 5 star review.”

“My children have been attending Korean Martial arts for the past 12 year. Never a reason to complain. The children are no longer children. Great service provide by Master Lee and Master Tae. Highly recommend”

“The Cynet Pool is a good size and depth for the young, beginner swimmer. My grandson had a trial session today. He thoroughly enjoyed his lesson with Alfie, who was patient and progressive.”

“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 can’t thank Alina enough for the incredible work she has done with my daughter. Her ability to create a calm and supportive environment helped ease the anxiety my daughter had around swimming. Alina has so much patience and understanding. As a parent of special needs child. Finding someone who understands and alleviates their anxiety was challenging. Alina did this with such patience, kindness and professionalism. Her calm approach made my daughter feel comfortable and also built her confidence in the water. It’s been amazing to watch the progress and see my daughter enjoying swimming. Thank you”

“We privately hired the pool here, the pool was very clean and we had lots of fun, the owner is very kind, accommodating and professional. There is even a sauna and shower facilities. We were impressed with the overall experience and we would highly recommend for little ones. See you again!”

“Water was a bit chilly, but soon warmed up when on the inflatable's Great fun !!!!”

“Attended a child's birthday party event here. Was thoroughly impressed with the swimming pool, good size, clean, warm temperature, lots of floats and things for the kids to play with, excellent safety and a nice little room on the side where they cut the cake and had a little party. Overall really impressed. Oh and the grounds for the school are lovely too! Easy parking available as well.”

“Great pool can get busy at times and you can never tell when the busy times are unfortunately. Lovely spar with sauna, steam room, jacuzzi fully recommended”

“Nice, clean pool and free parking!”

“My child has been attending classes since April and has grown in confidence in the water so much thanks to the wonderful instructors. They are very flexible in accommodating for different situations and I would definitely recommend them!”

“I've just started taking my son here for swimming lessons and am already really impressed with The Essex Swim School. Our teacher, Steve is great with the babies and very knowledgeable. The pool itself is warmer than leisure centres and the overall organisation and set up of the school is very easy and stress free. Highly recommend.”

“Amazing facilities, so many classes to choose from, reasonably priced monthly membership!”

“I've always wanted to swim in this pool since visiting during the Olympics. Booked for the 50m competition pool via the Everyone Active app. At £7 per adult this is great value for money and comparable to any other leisure centre. The changing village was clean, plenty of hot showers, and the lockers (£1 returnable) were well maintained. The pool was clean and the temperature was good for continual lane swimming. Great experience and will certainly return!”
