Nervous swimmer

My two sons started their lessons in January and the improvement in them both has been amazing.
My eldest was scared of swimming and took a full month to actually get into the pool. However, Martene and Tash were so patient and passionate about swimming for fun, he is now participating fully in each lesson and grinning from ear to ear.
I also love that they teach water safety in a fun way. I wanted my children to get more confident in the water whilst staying safe and after a couple of months they are both well on their way to this.

Thank you so much

Best swim school

Best swim school, and I have been to plenty with three kids. It is a warm and friendly atmosphere, loads of upward mobility for the kids (they advance through the levels quickly), a refreshing “can do” philosophy shows in their operations and best of all, I have a much improved swimmer as a result of our time there. Thank you!!

Amazing lessons - and they’re fun too!

Our kids loved every single lesson with Seriously Fun Swimming School, the encouragement, the fun lessons, the lengths up and down the pool, the diving and even swimming in their pijamas.

Over 10 years of lessons. Three very confident swimmers.

My only regret is that they don’t offer lessons for teenagers in the Maidenhead area - otherwise they would still go to their classes!

Thanks for the support from everyone at the pool and at the office. So glad we got to swim with you.

The best swimming lessons for kids

My daughter has been with Seriously Fun Swimming Lessons at Teikyo, Wexham for a few years and has progressed each term. In fact, she had even skipped a level as instructors recognised she was capable/ready to move onto a higher level. So students are not held back for any reason. They receive certificates at the end of each term which is also when instructors dress up as pirates or Christmas gear. They sometimes get the children to play games too.

The instructors have always been friendly and encouraging, each one of them. It was beautiful to see that they even managed some children who struggled for various reasons engage better and Improve their swimming as well.

I have recommended Seriously Fun to friends and colleagues and one has even enrolled their son in. I only have positive things to say about Seriously Fun. They are an approachable and a friendly bunch. I am so glad my daughter has learned to swim confidently. Will highly recommend them! Children are happy and safe here!

From Nervous to Fearless

Our daughter joined Seriously Fun seven years ago, age four, as a nervous child in the pool despite weekly lessons with another provider since she was a young baby.

We have been consistently impressed with the quality of teaching, the individual swimming teachers and the mixture of technique and fun each lesson. The correspondence and communication with the office team has always been fantastic too.

We cannot thank the team at Seriously Fun at Aylesbury Grammar School enough. Our daughter went quickly from nervous to fearless and has grown into a strong, confident and technically proficient swimmer.

So much fun!

My children have only had 3 lessons and they absolutely love going, it’s the highlight of their week!
They have so much fun but are still learning so a win win.
Would definitely recommend.

Highly recommend

Firstly, the sessions are great value for money. The sessions themselves are fun and engaging for my child and the teacher makes effort with each child personally

Thank you. Seriously Fun Swimming

I want to thank Seriously Fun Swimming School and leave you a review. My son, Charlie has had superb coaching at Seriously Fun swimming for 2.5 years. He has been awarded your special medal by Emily , who has been a fantastic coach, for completing all his levels. I can’t thank you enough for your expert coaching.

The emphasis on technique and the time and attention given to the finer technical details of each swimming stroke is unparalleled in any other club or swimming school- on top of this, ‘Seriously Fun’ make the learning process and the drills enjoyable for each swimmer. There is plenty of praise, Charlie has always felt valued, encouraged and motivated to be the best swimmer he can be with you all.

Please pass on our sincere thanks to your whole team of teachers and Jonathan and Janet for the opportunities Charlie has had.
He’ll take your good grounding with him as he goes on to swim now with a local swimming club.

Thank you so much!

The Best Decision!

By far the best swimming lessons we’ve come across. They’ve been great with our four year old who is swimming independently on her back after just 3 terms, having started with an awful fear of the water. Locations are great and pools are lovely and warm so no freezing children in the middle of winter!
