Seriously excellent

Claire and her brilliant team of instructors have taught all three of my kids to swim. They have grown from very different beginnings into able, confident swimmers who love the water whether they are lucky enough to be in a pool or the sea. Flawless lesson organisation and recommend the kind, patient, skilled teachers highly after more than a decade in their classes.

Great experience with seriously fun…

Great experience with seriously fun swimming so far, only our second week here and couldn’t recommend them more. My 3yr old son was apprehensive to get in the pool but the girls went out there way, and took him to another part of the pool on his own to give him some confidence.

Highly recommended.

Highly recommended

Our son has been with the school for the past 4 years from age 4 and has gone from being scared to even get into the pool to being capable of swimming over 1k with proper form. Staff have always been fun and engaging to keep the children's interest and results in our case speak for themselves.

Great swimming teachers

Great swimming teachers. Pity the showers at The Beacon School are freezing cold and no door to close the shower room to keep the water spraying the corridor.

It’s ok service but bit fast pace…

It’s ok service but bit fast pace atmosphere and think it is too much for younge kids. My son did not settle in. He loves swimming but for some reason did not like the classes here. There was no introduction of the teachers and what their names were. Think it’s catered more for older children.
