Swimming lessons

My son was very reluctant to get in the pool on his first lesson, the staff were caring and really took the time to make him feel comfortable for the first few lessons.
He now absolutely loves! Great team at New Beacon. Special mention to Nikki who really helped to build his confidence. Thank you :)

company cares about clients

Initially, my impression was very negative due to a misunderstanding during our first visit. However, the swimming pool’s support team reached out to me afterward, discussed the situation, and showed genuine interest in addressing the issue and improving my experience. To make up for the poor first impression, they offered my child two complimentary swimming lessons.

We attended the lessons, and from the very first one, my son fell in love with swimming. He now dreams of visiting the swimming pool every day! He especially enjoyed the teacher, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

Additionally, I’ve visited several swimming pools in Aylesbury, and I found this one to be the best suited for children. There are no drafts, the indoor temperature is very warm, and the water is comfortably heated—perfect for kids, especially during winter.

I can confidently say that this company values its reputation and truly cares about its customers.

High quality instruction.


I find swim lessons well-paced, focussed and fun with professional and high quality instruction. My child looks forward to swimming every week. The small group lessons is a bonus!

Child and parent focussed, fun learning

Fantastic tutors and supervisors who share their enthusiasm and energy for swimming with the kids. What sets them apart in particular is the feedback and dialogue with the parents that in my experience has been lacking with other similar classes. Grateful to have slots with them for both my children .

Excellent!

A fabulous ratio of instructors to children, with two teachers in the pool to help (beginners lesson). Staff are very kind, encouraging and patient. These classes have been highly recommended to me by several other parents in the area and I can already see why!

Well organised and fun!

We’re only a couple of weeks in but so far it’s absolutely brilliant. Easy to book, very well organised, good communication and the teachers are lovely, very patient and encouraging. I feel confident my child is going to progress and he is really enjoying it.
There are multiple classes in the pool during the session, they are separated well (with the ropes) and each group size is small with 2 teachers usually for each one. Whilst it is loud in there everyone seems well positioned to hear what their teachers are instructing.

Great individual attention

Great individual attention. Amazing coaches. My little boy was terrified of water and strangers and he loved it after 5 minutes and now is so excited to go every week!

Effective and fun

Very supportive staff and my boys are enthused. They really like the vibe of the coaches, how they communicate to help them polish technique and how fun, friendly and effective the lesson felt for them.

My grandson who is a little autistic…

My grandson who is a little autistic but can swim went for first lesson. The instructor only tried for a few minutes to gain his attention and said sorry this class isn't suitable.
Maybe there needs to be some provision for children with autism as they would love to learn to swim as well!
