"The swimming teachers are very dedicated and have put in a lot of effort to teach my son to swim. He is extremely nervous in the water and it has taken him a long time but he is finally getting there"

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Lisa

"My two young daughters have been taking swimming lessons at the centre for several years with my 7-year-old recently joining black-hats. Every week, since you reopened after the national lock-down, I have sat along-side while my daughters have been swimming. I have interacted with many of the staff dealing with lots of children and parents, coping very well with the COVID-related circumstances and keeping the lessons running smoothly and to schedule."
