A Wonderful Swimming School Experience

Anthony has grown so much in confidence thanks to his swimming teacher (Will) and the whole team. He’s always excited and can’t wait for each lesson. The team is incredibly nice, supportive, and truly dedicated. We honestly couldn’t have found a better school, and we’re so grateful for all they do.

Highly recommended

My daughters have recently started swimming lessons with Seriously Fun Swimming School. To start of with they were very nervous, but Josh made them feel very comfortable and guided them throughout. As my children say, Josh is the best teacher ever 😊.
Can only highly recommend the swimming lessons, very accommodating & friendly team. Many Thanks

Great classes!

Our daughter has been swimming with Seriously FUN since she was 3. She used to be really scared of the water and very reluctant to get into the pool. Now she’s 6 and absolutely loves swimming! We’re so proud of her progress and the confidence she’s gained in the water. The teachers have all been brilliant (and very patient!) with her. We couldn’t recommend Seriously FUN more highly!

I love this swim school - cant fault it

I love this swim school, we was attending a different one before and even after 6 months the swimming teachers didn't know my children's names and they made no progress, in fact my youngest never went into the water and the two swimming instructors nor the head would help.
In contrast, when we joined seriously fun swimming school at the Teyiko school, as soon as we stepped into the pool the teachers knew my sons names, my eldest who was 6 at the time is ok with new people and joined in, my youngest who was just turned 5 cried and didnt want to join in or get into the water, and one instructor sat with him and me on the pool side, talking, making jokes until he was ok to join in.

Fast forward 6 months all the instructors are lovely, friendly, caring and patience, i have no faults to raise.

I also love the fact its a private pool so its not open to the public and its very clean, unlike the previous place which was fitness centre with a pool and had missing pieces of flooring!

I love seriously fun swimming school, they are a little bit more expensive then the local centres but worth every penny.

Thanks guys

Great for teens

My son had reached the highest level of swimming lessons with another provider, but he didn’t enjoy the pressure that came with joining a competitive swimming club. He still wanted to swim regularly just for fun and fitness without the stress. Seriously Fun Swimming has been the perfect solution. He gets to swim for an hour each week in a relaxed and enjoyable environment, with just the right balance of technical guidance and encouragement. The teachers are fantastic, and he looks forward to every session.

We found you by chance but feel very blessed

Both of my children have been attending the swimming school for almost 2 years and every session is never short of amazing. Not only my girls grew in confidence after bad experience, learnt to swim, they now shape up the technique under a watchful eye of the amazing teachers who know every child by name, their strengths and interests. This is truly amazing. We have been feeling welcomed each time we attend the school and honestly I would have not changed this provider for any other. We found you by chance but we feel very blessed! Special thanks to Josh who is a rock and whose commitment and connection with kids is outstanding

Helping my little boy go from strength to strength

We have been coming to Seriously Fun since May 2024. My little boy started with very sensitive ears having had grommets previously and as a result lacked confidence putting his face in the water. He has recently moved up a class now swimming widths on his front and back with his head fully underwater - thank you so much for all the time and patience that has been given to help my little boy thrive

Confident swimming kids

Seriously fun have taught both my kids since 6 months old & now at 9 & nearly 6, they are such confident swimmers. My daughter has gone from screaming when we put armbands on to swimming front crawl, back crawl & underwater in a deep pool in the space of 2 years.

We absolutely love Seriously FUN…

We absolutely love Seriously FUN Swimming at Green Street, Orpington! My two children, aged 6 and 10, have both made incredible progress since joining. The instructors are patient, encouraging, and make each lesson engaging for the kids. My younger one started out quite nervous, but now looks forward to every class and is swimming confidently! The atmosphere is always positive and well-organized, and I really appreciate how safety and fun go hand in hand here. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a swimming school that truly cares about children’s confidence and enjoyment in the water.
