The team at Aylesbury are really good and engaging during the lesson and making my child relaxed and involved in the lesson. Why the company do not get 5 stars is the office's inability to allow you to chnage the payment dates, and the fact you have to pay all year round even when there is no swimming on.

Reply from Seriously FUN Swimming Schools

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback about our Aylesbury team, we’re really pleased to hear your child feels relaxed and engaged in their lessons!

We completely understand your frustration about payment dates and term-time billing. Our lessons only run during school terms, but payments are spread evenly across the year to make budgeting easier for families and to secure your child’s place each term. This means you don’t pay extra overall – just smaller, regular instalments instead of larger termly payments.

That said, we’ll certainly take your comments on flexibility with payment dates on board as we continue to improve our systems.

Thank you again for your kind words and for swimming with us, we really appreciate your support!

A fab learning environment

We really love the teaching and facilities at Seriously FUN Swimming. Our daughter loves going and spends all week excited. She started as a beginner with no previous swim experience and we can see real improvement in her skills and confidence. The facilities at the Teikyo school are excellent too.

They do not honour there own discounts on siblings

The swimming classes are great and the kids love them but the customer service is not good at all. I signed my daughter up after I got a discount code from my son for £25 pounds off when you refer someone to the classes for both the person referring and the new member. However when I was signing up the code did not go through. I have been asking the team to put the discount through for me for months now but have eventually been told that it’s for new customers only and I can’t use it on siblings even though I signed my daughter up new to the classes. This has been really disappointing.

Hi Amandeep, thank you for your review and feedback. The referral code is for existing customers to recommend new customers, a new customer is someone whose children are not currently swimming with us (or haven't previously). As you have a child swimming with us (thank you!), you are not a new customer, even if you sign up another one of your children. We hope this helps to explain things, we are very grateful for your custom and bringing your 2 children to us. Please let us know if you need anything - Jonathon Madden (Co-Owner) 🙏🏻

Emma was a Fantastic teacher today in my daughter’s class! After a few weeks of my child struggling, Emma was attentive, supportive and encouraging of my child empowering her to swim better and take in what she was being told to do and how to do it! Thank you so much! This had made a massive difference to my child and her confidence in herself in the water

Excellent Swimming Classes

My daughter, Ellie attended the Aylesbury class to learn confidence in the water. She is 12 and although she was much older than the other children she was accepted into the class with open arms. 3 months is all it took for her to go from zero swimming ability to learning buoyancy techniques, the crawl and breast stroke.

The staff are well trained and actually do make the lessons fun, so the kids learn quickly. They expertly handle children who are scared or have difficulties. My thanks go out especially to Josh, who has been absolutely instrumental with Ellie’s progress. All the best for the future.

I was initially worried about the cost and quality of lessons but my concerns went after the first lesson, The half hour is absolutely packed, it’s really great to watch.

Many thanks to everyone including the background staff who have been really helpful.

Amazing Progress in Just Two Lessons!

I’m so impressed with how quickly my child has progressed in just two swimming lessons! The instructors are absolutely fantastic – patient, encouraging, and great with children. My daughter went from feeling nervous in the water to confidently splashing around and starting to swim with real technique. I couldn't believe how much she learned in such a short time. The lessons are well-structured, fun, and perfectly paced. I highly recommend this swimming program to any parent looking for real results and a supportive environment.

Thank you Emma

Our son has made so much progress since starting with Seriously Fun. His teacher Emma has been so supportive and patient with him, and in the time she has been working with him he has come on leaps and bounds. He would get so upset at getting water in his face when he first started, and now will put his face in the water throughout the lesson. And really enjoys the lessons too. Thank you, Emma!
